- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- compiler - What exactly is a compile target? - Software Engineering . . .
Multi-target compilers also offer compiler switches to support multiple target architectures So, a compiler target is simply the output of the compile operation
- compiler - How does code work without getting compiled or interpreted . . .
Still, if an interpreter or compiler is available, Visual Studio Code will integrate with those for the final step (compilation and or execution) Programs are composable
- history - What are programming languages written in? - Software . . .
What are programming languages written in? Programming language compilers and runtimes are written in programming languages — not necessarily languages that are older or are different than the one they take as input Some of the runtime code will drop into assembly to access certain hardware instructions or code sequences not easily obtained through the compiler
