  2. Translator (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translator_(computing)

    Compiler software interacts with source code by converting it typically from a higher-level programming language into object code that can later be executed by the computer's central processing unit (CPU). [6] The object code created by the compiler consists of machine-readable code that the computer can process. This stage of the computing ...

    “a programming language is a tool which should assist the programmer in the most difficult aspects of his art, namely program design, documentation, and debugging.” “objective criteria for good language design may be summarized in five catch phrases: simplicity, security, fast translation, efficient object code, and readability.”

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

    In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language). The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language (e.g ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preprocessor

    For some programming languages, the rules are written in the same language as the program (compile-time reflection). This is the case with Lisp and OCaml . Some other languages rely on a fully external language to define the transformations, such as the XSLT preprocessor for XML , or its statically typed counterpart CDuce.

    Edison Design Group: provides production-quality front end compilers for C, C++, and Java (a number of the compilers listed on this page use front end source code from Edison Design Group [111]). Additionally, Edison Design Group makes their proprietary software available for research uses.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

    Individual machine languages are specific to a family of processors; machine-language code for one family of processors cannot run directly on processors in another family unless the processors in question have additional hardware to support it (for example, DEC VAX processors included a PDP-11 compatibility mode).

  8. High-level language computer architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_language...

    This was Intel's first 32-bit processor design, and was intended to be Intel's main processor family for the 1980s, but failed commercially. Rekursiv (mid-1980s) was a minor system, designed to support object-oriented programming and the Lingo programming language in hardware, and supported recursion at the instruction set level, hence the name.

  9. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)

    For this reason, many compilers also have an executive aid, known as a Makefile and program. The Makefile lists compiler and linker command lines and program source code files, but might take a simple command line menu input (e.g. "Make 3") which selects the third group (set) of instructions then issues the commands to the compiler, and linker ...
