*CS445Intro

Introduction : Compiler Construction : Louden : CH1.0

What are compilers computer programs that translate one language to another
what does a compiler take as input a program written in its source language
what does a compiler produce an equivalent program as the input program but written in its target language
what typically are source langauges high level languages such as c, c++
what is a typical target language object code /machine code for the target machine
what is another name for object code machine code
what is another name for machine code object code
what does it mean to be "object code for the target machine" that is code written in the machine instructions of the computer on which it is to be executed
Describe why compilers are complex programs - can be anywhere from 10,000 to 1,000,000 lines of code and writing such a program or even understanding it is not a simple task.
Why is it important to know the basic organization and operation of a compiler compilers are used in almost all forms of computing and anyone professionally involved with computers should know these principles
fact or fiction: most computer scientists and professionals will never write a complete compiler true
what is a frequent task in computer applications that are smaller than compilers but which use the same techniques the development of command interpreters and interface programs
what are the necessary tools and practical experience to design and program an actual compiler - study the theoretical techniques mainly from automata theory that make compiler construction a manageable task - basic data structures, discrete mathematics knowledge, machine architecture knowledge, and assembly language knowledge
How do language design issues relate to compilers There is significant interaction between the structure of a compiler and the design of the program language being compiled

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
