   May 10, 2009 · Not all compilers do this - the MS compilers produce object code directly, though you can make them generate assembler output. Translating assembler to object code is a pretty simple process, at least compared with C→Assembly or C→Machine-code translation.

   Aug 5, 2019 · A compiler does usually convert high-level code directly to machine language, but it can be built in a modular way so that one back-end emits machine code and the other assembly code (like GCC).

   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.

   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.

   Mar 18, 2024 · 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.

   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.

   Are all programs eventually converted to assembly instructions?

   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.

   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.

   Is assembler a compiler?

   • If a compiler directly converts code to binary code, by definition, it will be called assembler and not a compiler. It is more appropriate to say that a compiler uses INTERMEDIATE CODE which may or may not be assembly language e.g. Java uses byte code as intermediate code and byte code is assembler for java virtual machine (JVM).

   Why do all compilers produce assembly code?

   • Almost all compilers, including gcc, produce assembly code because it's easier---both to produce and to debug the compiler. The major exceptions are usually just-in-time compilers or interactive compilers, whose authors don't want the performance overhead or the hassle of forking a whole process to run the assembler.

   Commonly, compilers generate code for a machine architecture augmented with operating system routines and run-time language support routines. To use such a program, a particular operating system must be used and a collection of run-time support routines (I/O, storage allocation, mathematical functions, etc.) must be available. The combination ...
