- How do I create my own programming language and a compiler for it
A "compiler" is any device that translates from one programming language to another One of the nice things about having a C# compiler that turns C# into IL, and an IL compiler (the "jitter") that turns IL into machine code, is that you get to write the C# compiler to IL (easy!), and put the processor-specific optimizations in the jitter
- compiler - Does an interpreter produce machine code? - Software . . .
A Java compiler produces code for the JVM So the target machine of a compiler can be a virtual machine that is not executed directly by the hardware The main difference between interpreter and compiler is that a compiler first checks and translates the whole source code into a target machine language This compiled code is then executed by the machine it was meant for On the other hand, an
- history - Why was the first compiler written before the first . . .
The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper in 1952 while the Lisp interpreter was written in 1958 by John McCarthy's student Steve Russell Writing a compiler seems like a much harder problem t
- How Does A Compiler Work? - Software Engineering Stack Exchange
A compiler is a program that translates the source code for another program from a programing language into executable code The source code is typically in a high-level programming language (e g Pascal, C, C++, Java, Perl, C#, etc )
- Why doesnt Python need a compiler? - Software Engineering Stack Exchange
Just wondering (now that I've started with C++ which needs a compiler) why Python doesn't need a compiler? I just enter the code, save it as an exec, and run it In C++ I have to make builds and a
- Is Ken Thompsons compiler hack still a threat?
Ken Thompson Hack (1984) Ken Thompson outlined a method for corrupting a compiler binary (and other compiled software, like a login script on a *nix system) in 1984 I was curious to know if modern
- Why was the Itanium processor difficult to write a compiler for?
The compiler aspect was not the only aspect which was overly ambitious Is there any reason why Intel didn't specify a "simple Itanium bytecode" language, and provide a tool that converts this bytecode into optimized EPIC code, leveraging their expertise as the folks who designed the system in the first place? I'm not sure where you place the tool
- The advantage of using __attribute__ ( (aligned ( )))
The aligned attribute forces the compiler to align that variable (your a array) to the specified alignment The GCC documentation lists the attributes you can give, and you could even extend your GCC compiler (with some plugin or some MELT extension; however MELT was abandoned in 2017) to add your additional attributes
