Compiler design in the Programming language

Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research

Abstract - compiler design is used to translate a code written in one programming language to other languages, while maintaining the meaning of the codes. The high-level language is usually composed by a developer, and compiler converts it to a machine language that could be understood by the processor. There are two major phases of a compiler, which is based on they compile. These phases include analysis phases and the synthesis phase. The lexical phase is composed of taking the modified code source originating from the language processor. The context-free grammar is mandated to producing production rules, which are followed by the syntax analyzer.

Code Generation Techniques in Compiler Design: Conceptual and Structural Review

International Journal of Recent Engineering Science , 2022

A compiler is designed as a language translator to interpret program instructions from high-level language or object layer to machine code. Compiler configuration covers essential interpretation instruments and blunders discovery and recovery. It incorporates lexical components, linguistic structures, and semantic mechanisms as the front end and code generation and streamlining as the back end. In this paper, selected code generation techniques were structurally x-rayed. The structural review revealed the peculiar strategy and individual traits that serve as a determinant factors for specific applications and circumstances for execution.

Compiler Construction Detail Design

Dr. Nwanze Ashioba, Ndubuife Nonso Daniel, 2021

A compiler is a language translator that translates a program written in high level programming language to an equivalent machine language. Compiler construction primarily comprises of some standard phases such as lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantics analysis, intermediate code generation, code optimization and code generation. This paper analyzes the detail design of the various phases of compiler.

SOFTWARE—PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE, VOL. 21(9), 963–988 (SEPTEMBER 1991) A Code Generation Interface for ANSI C

lcc is a retargetable, production compiler for ANSI C; it has been ported to the VAX, Motorola 68020, SPARC, and MIPS R3000, and some versions have been in use for over a year and a half. It is smaller and faster than generally available alternatives, and its local code is comparable. This paper describes the interface between the target-independent front end and the target-dependent back ends. The interface consists of shared data structures, a few functions, and a dag language. While this approach couples the front and back ends tightly, it results in efficient, compact compilers. The interface is illustrated by detailing a code generator that emits naive VAX code.

Code Optimization and Generation

Journal of harmonized research in engineering, 2013

CodeGeneration is the process of transforming code from one representation to another..CodeOptimization is the field where most compiler research is done today. The tasks of the front-end (scanning, parsing, semantic analysis) are well understood and unoptimizedcode generation is relatively straightforward. Optimization, on the other hand, still retains a sizable measure of mysticism. High-quality optimization is more of an art than a science. Compilers for mature languages aren't judged by how well they parse or analyze the code-you just expect it to do it right with a minimum of hassle-but instead by the quality of the object code they produce.
