- 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
- 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
- How Does A Compiler Work? - Software Engineering Stack Exchange
A compiler is a program that translates the source code for another program from a programing language into executable code The source code is typically in a high-level programming language (e g Pascal, C, C++, Java, Perl, C#, etc )
- What is the history of the C compiler? - Software Engineering Stack . . .
The first C compiler written by Dennis Ritchie used a recursive descent parser, incorporated specific knowledge about the PDP-11, and relied on an optional machine-specific optimizer to improve the assembly language code it generated The first C compiler was also written by him, in assembly This page from bell-labs answers most of your questions
- 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
- compiler - GCC vs clang LLVM -- pros and cons of each - Software . . .
License for GCC runtime libraries adds another layer of restrictions while Clang compiler runtime (compiler-rt library) is under permissive MIT license Summary: compile with Clang when you develop the program, and with GCC for the final build (but make sure that its faster and doesn't break) Stick with Clang LLVM if you do compiler research
- The advantage of using __attribute__ ( (aligned ( )))
The aligned attribute forces the compiler to align that variable (your a array) to the specified alignment The GCC documentation lists the attributes you can give, and you could even extend your GCC compiler (with some plugin or some MELT extension; however MELT was abandoned in 2017) to add your additional attributes
- 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
