A compiler is a computer program that converts source code written in a computer language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language, providing having a binary form referred to as object code). The best reason for inadequate to convert source code is to create an executable code.The ... Read More

It is an approach for making a self-compiling compiler that is a compiler written in the source programming language that it determine to compile. A bootstrap compiler can compile the compiler and thus you can use this compiled compiler to compile everything else and the future versions of itself.Uses of ... Read More

Macro-ProcessorsMany assembly languages support a “macro” facility whereby a macro statement will translate into a sequence of assembly language statements and possibly other macro statements before being translated into a machine program. Therefore, a macro facility is a text replacement capability.It can illustrate the utility of macros, consider a situation ... Read More

Detection and reporting of errors in the source program is the main function of the compiler. An error can occur at any phase of compilation. A good compiler must determine the line number of the program exactly, where the errors have occurred. Various errors that can occur at a different ... Read More

Imperative LanguagesImperative languages are those which facilitate the computation by mean of state changes. By a state, it means the condition of a computer’s random access memory (RAM) or storage. It is helpful to think of computer memory as a sequence of snapshots, each one capturing the values in all ... Read More

Procedural LanguagesProcedural languages are command-driven or statement-oriented languages. A program includes a sequence of statements, and the implementation of each statement generates the interpreter to modify the value of one or more areas in its memory that enters a new state.The format of procedural languages arestatement1;statement2;C, Pascal, FORTRAN, and equivalent ...

The compiler demands a block of memory for the operating system. The compiler uses this block of memory to implement the compiled program. This block of memory is known as storage management. A compiler should execute is to designate the resources of the target machine to define the data objects ... Read More

Sequence ControlSequence control defines the line-by-line implementation by which statements are implemented sequentially, in the equivalent order in which they occur in the program. It can move out a sequence of read or write operations, arithmetic operations, or assignments to variables. A sequence control structure can be either implicit or ... Read More

SubprogramsA subprogram is defined as a set of statements that can be reused at multiple places in a program when convenient. This reuse results in multiple types of savings, from memory space to coding time. Such reuse is also an abstraction, for the analysis of subprograms computations are restored in ... Read More
