- c - How to write a very basic compiler - Software Engineering Stack . . .
Go with an existing educational language instead, and focus on learning about compilers The following two are specifically designed for classroom use in compiler courses and by extension are great for a hobby compiler project ChocoPy ChocoPy is a concise Python subset, which can be implemented in a time-frame reasonable for a hobby compiler
- programming languages - Why doesnt Python need a compiler? - Software . . .
The majority of modern high-performance language implementations combine both an interpreter and a compiler (or even several compilers) for maximum performance Actually, it is impossible to run any program without an interpreter After all, a compiler is just a program which translates a program from one language to another language
- 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 )
- testing - How come compilers are so reliable? - Software Engineering . . .
I've seen several compiler bugs, reported a few myself (specifically, in F#) That said, I think compiler bugs are rare because people who write compilers are generally very comfortable with the rigorous concepts of computer science that make them really conscious about the mathematical implications of code
- Compiler Warnings - Software Engineering Stack Exchange
The compiler has been written by total experts in the language If they are reporting that something is a bit wiffy (think code smell) then the code should be reviewed It is entirely possible to write code that compiles without errors and without warnings
- Is Ken Thompsons compiler hack still a threat?
There's a theoretical chance for this to happen There is, however, a way of checking if a specific compiler (with available source code) has been compromised, through David A Wheeler's Diverse double-compiling Basically, use both the suspected compiler and another independently developed compiler to compile the source of the suspect compiler
- compiler - GCC vs clang LLVM -- pros and cons of each - Software . . .
License for GCC runtime libraries adds another layer of restrictions while Clang compiler runtime (compiler-rt library) is under permissive MIT license Summary: compile with Clang when you develop the program, and with GCC for the final build (but make sure that its faster and doesn't break) Stick with Clang LLVM if you do compiler research
- compiler - How does Chrome V8 work? And why was JavaScript not JIT . . .
So when the compiler reaches x + y, instead of running lots of code that branches for many different types of x and y, the compiler quickly checks if we have strings again, and then executes just a few lines of machine code that specifically concatenate strings
