Project Description for Language Compiler
Understand the core components and optimization challenges in building a C++ language compiler. Learn to implement features like comment detection, expression evaluation, loop unrolling, and adaptive code generation. This lesson prepares you to solve related coding interview problems by applying practical compiler design strategies.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
A language compiler is a software used to convert the source code of a language into machine code, which is then executed by the computer’s processor. A compiler can have various components, including a scanner, lexical analyzer, semantic analyzer, code generations, etc., which might be handled by different modules of the program. The compilers are both language-specific and specific to the underlying hardware processor.
The scenarios and problems discussed in this chapter ...
