It also allows multiple front ends. The multipass compiler processes the source code or syntax tree of a program several times. It divided a large program into multiple small programs and process them. It develops multiple intermediate codes. All of these multipass take the output of the previous phase as an input. So it requires less memory. Before knowing about the concept of compilers, you first need to understand a few other tools which work with compilers.
Compiler construction tools were introduced as computer-related technologies spread all over the world. They are also known as a compiler- compilers, compiler- generators or translator. These tools use specific language or algorithm for specifying and implementing the component of the compiler. Following are the example of compiler construction tools. Skip to content. Report a Bug.

That program is called compiler. The purpose of the compiler is to translate the programs written in human readable language to machine language which is understandable to computer machine. A compiler reads instruction in the programs and translates it, if there is any error it also identify it and warns about it to user. The error could be typing mistake syntax error or a logical error. Compiler is language processor used to translate program written in high level language into the machine level language.
A program written in high level programming language is called the source program. The source program is stored on the disk in a file. The compiler translates the source program into machine codes and makes another program file is called the object file. The object file contains the translated program. Files, source and object are saved on the disk permanently. The object programs translated by compiler can executed a number of times without translating it again.
If there are any errors in the source program the compiler specifies the errors at the end of compilation. The errors must be removed before the compiler can successfully compile the source program. Computer understands only two words 0 and 1. Machine language or binary languages were used to write compilers. But it is very difficult to write complex code in form of 0 and 1.
So we use high level programming languages are used to write compiler. Compiler is also used to communicate with hardware.
A computer can take data in binary digits. A compiler is nothing but a translator which translates these programs into machine level language. Computer accepts it and process according to the instructions and give input in machine level language.
A compiler translates this into our language. Anonymous answered. It is one of the language translators. These are used to translate the entire program at once and store their translated form on disk. These translators cannot execute the translated program.
It has to go through some other stages to be able to get executed. Every language has its own syntax that's why the concept of compiler arose! By compiler the syntax of one language is understood and converted into the parse tree which can be easily converted into any other language. Compiler is to communicate between human and machinee. It converts high level language into machinee language. Computer understand only machine language i.
Today's leading compilers achieve a level of efficiency where it is no longer required to write performancecritical code in assembly instead of C. Nisar Adil answered. Before going to the compiler definition and explanation. First you must know why we need a compiler so the answer is that the computer only understands the binary language i.
And how this binary value is calculated is shown below. C, Cobol, Pascal etc. So the compiler is needed in this stage so that the compiler can convert the statements written in a certain language to the computer language, each language has its own compiler once a programmer writes certain statement in the language tool and the file created in the language tool is called source code or source statement the compiler parses or analyses the statements for Syntax error so that the processor can read and execute it.
Normally the output of the compilation is called the object module or object code. And the object code is the code that the processor executes on instruction at a time.
