   May 10, 2009 · Translating assembler to object code is a pretty simple process, at least compared with C→Assembly or C→Machine-code translation. Some compilers produce other high-level language code as their output - for example, cfront, the first C++ compiler, produced C as its output which was then compiled to machine code by a C compiler.

   No. Assembly language is human readable. Machine code is machine (CPU) readable. They're two different things. You can for example, in a C program, mix both C and assembly (if you want) and the compiler will then compile them both directly to machine code.

   The interesting thing today is that computers are fast enough today to make the following scenario reasonable: you code a compiler to C, and an interactive REPL which reads some expression, compile it to C code (often a few hundred of lines), forks a compilation of that generated C code into a plugin, then finally dynamically loads that ...

   Not all compilers produce "machine code" (except for the trivial interpretation that all code in some language is machine code for an abstract machine induced by that language). For example, lots of compilers produce ECMAScript source code: CoffeeScript, TypeScript, PureScript, Elm, Opal, GWT, Emscripten, Babel, Clozure, Scala.js, Kotlin, Clue.

   If the virtual machine is kept simple and clean, the interpreter can be quite easy to write. Machine interpretation slows execution speed by a factor of 3:1 to perhaps 10:1 over compiled code. A “Just in Time” (JIT) compiler can translate “hot” portions of virtual code into native code to speed execution.

   The compilation stage can produce either assembly code or an object file as output. Typically, the object code is all that is desired; it contains the binary machine code that is generated from compiling the C source. There are a few different relevant compiler options at this stage: clang -S sourcefile.c. Produces assembly code in sourcefile.s

   Does a compiler produce machine code?

   • Compilers that produce native machine code do produce the appropriate assembly language that is then assembled into machine code. That is normally done in a single step, but some compilers, like GCC, can output the intermediate assembly as well.

   What is the difference between a compiler and a machine?

   • Compilers translate source code into assembly code, which is a human-readable version of machine code. However, the correct assembly or machine code needed to make a program run depends on the operating system.

   Does C++ have to be implemented by a compiler?

   • There is nothing in the language specification of C, C++, or Go that says that it has to be implemented by a compiler that produces machine code. In fact, there is nothing in those specifications that says the language has to be implemented by a compiler at all.

   What do compilers produce?

   • Compilers may generate code for a particular machine, not assuming any operating system or library routines. This is “pure code” because it includes nothing beyond the instruction set.

   Can a compiler run a program on a processor?

   • So to run a program on a processor at some point it has to be converted into the machine code for that processor and then the processor can handle it. Various languages and tools do it various ways. It is not required for a compiler to compile from the high level language to assembly language, but it is convenient.

   Can a compiler read a source code?

   • I've been reading that in most cases (like gcc) the compiler reads the source code in a high level language and produces the corresponding machine code. Machine code, by definition, is the code that a processor can understand directly. However, it's a common misconception that machine code should be only machine (processor) dependent and OS independent. But this is not the case.

   Mar 18, 2024 · However, computers work with machine code, which people can hardly write or read. Thus, compilers translate the programming language’s source code to machine code dedicated to a specific machine. In this article, we’ll analyze the compilation process phases. Then, we’ll see the differences between compilers and interpreters.
