Thanks Matt, Xavier and Tobias for the suggestions. Suppose that the IMP and the stack machines (given in these references) are extended with an explicit heap and call stack as well as instructions that operate on heap. Then, compiling addresses would probably require an address-map that maps source heap addresses (integers) to target heap addresses (integers). Is this reasonably standard?
