Consider the grammar rule $$E \to {E_1} - {E_2}$$ for arithmetic expressions. The code generated is targeted to a CPU having a single user register. The subtraction operation requires the first operand to be in the register. If E1 and E2 do not have any common sub-expression, in order to get the shortest possible code.
A
E1 should be evaluated first
B
E2 should be evaluated first
C
Evaluation of E1 and E2 should necessarily be interleaved
D
Order to evaluation of E1 and E2 is of no consequence
