The next step will be introducing variables into the compiler; imagine that we want to write a compiler which compile only some functions of a language. Introducing practical tutorials and resources is highly appreciated :-)Sun, 12 Apr 2026 18:27:00 GMThttps://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/118586/how-does-a-compiler-workA compiler is a program that translates the source code for another program from a programing language into executable code. The source code is typically in a high-level programming language (e. g. Pascal, C, C++, Java, Perl, C#, etc.).Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:31:00 GMThttps://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/184874/is-ken-thompsons-compiler-hack-still-a-threatKen Thompson Hack (1984) Ken Thompson outlined a method for corrupting a compiler binary (and other compiled software, like a login script on a *nix system) in 1984.

One of the nice things about having a C# compiler that turns C# into IL, and an IL compiler (the "jitter") that turns IL into machine code, is that you get to write the C# compiler to IL (easy!), and put the processor-specific optimizations in the jitter.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 01:07:00 GMThttps://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/136942/why-doesnt-python-need-a-compilerJust wondering (now that I've started with C++ which needs a compiler) why Python doesn't need a compiler? I just enter the code, save it as an exec, and run it. In C++ I have to make builds and a...Wed, 15 Apr 2026 23:31:00 GMThttps://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/359027/is-it-bad-practice-to-write-code-that-relies-on-compiler-optimizationsFortunately, you don't seem to be doing this. When it comes to performance, you have to rely on compiler-specific behavior in general, and compiler optimizations in particular. A standard-compliant compiler is free to compile your code in any way it wants to, as long as the compiled code behaves according to the language specification.Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:17:00 GMThttps://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/246094/understanding-the-differences-traditional-interpreter-jit-compiler-jit-interpI'm trying to understand the differences between a traditional interpreter, a JIT compiler, a JIT interpreter and an AOT compiler.

So the target machine of a compiler can be a virtual machine that is not executed directly by the hardware. The main difference between interpreter and compiler is that a compiler first checks and translates the whole source code into a target machine language. This compiled code is then executed by the machine it was meant for. On the other hand, an ...Sun, 12 Apr 2026 03:46:00 GMThttps://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/332420/how-can-a-compiler-be-written-for-a-language-that-allows-rewriting-code-at-runtiHowever, I cannot understand how it would be possible to write a compiler for a language that allows you to rewrite code at-runtime (and then execute that code). How is this done? Is the compiler itself basically included in the generated compiled program, such that it can compile new sections of code? Or is there another way?Thu, 16 Apr 2026 17:25:00 GMT
