Compilation Phases.
As we already mentioned, the compilation process converts high-level source code to a low-level machine code that can be executed by the target machine.
Moreover, an essential role of compilers is to inform the developer about errors committed, especially syntax-related ones.Mar 20, 2023.
C++ is designed to be a compiled language, meaning that it is generally translated into machine language that can be understood directly by the system, making the generated program highly efficient.
For that, a set of tools are needed, known as the development toolchain, whose core are a compiler and its linker..
A compiler is a special program that translates a programming language's source code into machine code, bytecode or another programming language..
A compiler is a special program that translates a programming language's source code into machine code, bytecode or another programming language..
A compiler can translate only those source programs which have been written in the language for which the compiler is meant.
Each high level programming language requires a separate compiler for the conversion.
For Example, a FORTRAN compiler is capable of translating into a FORTRAN program.
An interpretive compiler is a good compromise between compilers and interpreters.
It translates source program into virtual machine code, which is then interpreted.
An interpretive compiler combines fast translation with moderately fast execution, provided that:
