Do a google on "Procedural Abstraction" and "Cross Linking", or hunt out
papers at citeseer.com.

There is a standalone tool (aiPop) that does quite aggressive post-link
optimization on C16x/ST10 code:

        http://www.absint.com

where they use the term "functional abstraction".

I'm not sure how well proc.abs has yet been implemented in GCC.  There are
several goes in academic circles, but so far as I know nothing in the main
GCC distribution.
