📄️ Analysis-phase
The Analysis phase of the compiler design process is the first step in transforming source code into machine code. During this phase, the compiler analyzes the source code to determine its structure, meaning, and context. The goal of the analysis phase is to extract all the necessary information from the source code and prepare it for further processing.
📄️ Optimization-phase
The Optimization phase of the compiler design process is a sub-phase of the Synthesis phase, which is the second step in transforming source code into machine code. During this phase, the machine code generated during code generation is made as efficient as possible. The goal of the Optimization phase is to generate machine code that is faster and uses less memory.
📄️ code-generation-phase
The Code Generation phase of the compiler design process can be thought of as the magic moment where source code transforms into machine code, ready to be executed by the computer. This phase is where the intermediate representation of the source code generated during the Analysis phase is transformed into machine code that the computer can understand and execute.
📄️ interpreter-vs-compiler
Imagine you are a detective tasked with solving a mystery. The clues to the mystery are written in a foreign language that you do not understand.
📄️ synthesis-phase
The Synthesis phase of the compiler design process is the second step in transforming source code into machine code. This phase is where the intermediate representation of the source code generated during the Analysis phase is transformed into machine code. The goal of the Synthesis phase is to generate code that is efficient, optimized, and ready to be executed.
