  2. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A few interpreters, such as the PBASIC interpreter, achieve even higher levels of program compaction by using a bit-oriented rather than a byte-oriented program memory structure, where commands tokens occupy perhaps 5 bits, nominally "16-bit" constants are stored in a variable-length code requiring 3, 6, 10, or 18 bits, and address operands ...

  3. Programming language design and implementation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_of_a_Programming...

    Programming languages are typically created by designing a form of representation of a computer program, and writing an implementation for the developed concept, [1] usually an interpreter or compiler. Interpreters are designed to read programs, usually in some variation of a text format, and perform actions based on what it reads, whereas ...

    ROSE: an open source compiler framework to generate source-to-source analyzers and translators for C/C++ and Fortran, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory MILEPOST GCC : interactive plugin-based open-source research compiler that combines the strength of GCC and the flexibility of the common Interactive Compilation Interface that ...

  5. Programming language implementation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language...

    If a compiler of a given high level language produces another high level language, it is called a transpiler. Transpilers can be used to extend existing languages or to simplify compiler development by exploiting portable and well-optimized implementations of other languages (such as C ).

  6. Compiler - Wikipedia

    Compiler analysis is the prerequisite for any compiler optimization, and they tightly work together. For example, dependence analysis is crucial for loop transformation. The scope of compiler analysis and optimizations vary greatly; their scope may range from operating within a basic block, to whole procedures, or even the whole program. There ...

  7. Compiler-compiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler-compiler

    In computer science, a compiler-compiler or compiler generator is a programming tool that creates a parser, interpreter, or compiler from some form of formal description of a programming language and machine. The most common type of compiler-compiler is called a parser generator. [1] It handles only syntactic analysis.

  9. 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 ...
