- 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
- 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
- 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 - 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 - How does garbage collection work in languages which are . . .
60 Or does the compiler include some minimal garbage collector in the compiled program's code That’s an odd way of saying “the compiler links the program with a library that performs garbage collection” But yes, that’s what’s happening
- 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
- Why was the Itanium processor difficult to write a compiler for?
The compiler aspect was not the only aspect which was overly ambitious Is there any reason why Intel didn't specify a "simple Itanium bytecode" language, and provide a tool that converts this bytecode into optimized EPIC code, leveraging their expertise as the folks who designed the system in the first place? I'm not sure where you place the tool
- compiler - How do Symbol Tables, Lexers and Parsers work together in a . . .
The Scala compiler tries to be a single canonical one-stop-shop modern compiler for traditional batch compilation, incremental batch compilation, interactive compilation (REPL, workbook, etc ), IDEs (everything from syntax coloring to autocompletion to refactoring), macros (letting the user run user code in the compiler during compilation
