This process is analogous to a software compiler converting a high-level C-program listing into a processor-dependent assembly-language listing.

Apple provided a short assembly-language routine which could be POKEd into RAM and CALLed to ameliorate the problem to an extent.

This sort of detail is the grist of machine-code programmers, and a suitable assembly-language bignumber routine can run much faster than the result of the compilation of a high-level language, which does not provide access to such facilities.

The subsequent Intel 8080 and 8085 CPUs were assembly-language ( not binary ) compatible with the 8008 and also heavily based on the same basic internal design.

These files worked with the archive file format used by ARC, and were significantly faster than ARC on the IBM-PC platform due to selective assembly-language coding.

: Us converts waved this interesting bit of news under the noses of the unreconstructed assembly-language programmers who kept trotting forth twisty bits of logic and saying, ' I betcha can't structure this.

For example, rather than write interrupt handlers entirely in assembly language, another option is to write interrupt handlers mostly in C, and use a short trampoline to convert the assembly-language interrupt calling convention into the C calling convention.

in assembly-language using the Metacomco assembler.

The programmer ( or compiler ) could implicitly control the quashing behavior of the subsequent two instructions that would be initiated during the branch.

* Improve the productivity and time scales of the programming process, transferring effort from the programmer to the compiler

The importance of referential transparency is that it allows the programmer and the compiler to reason about program behavior.

The programmer need not define the functions explicitly — merely declaring a type to be deriving Read or deriving Show, or both, can make the compiler generate the appropriate functions for many cases ( but not all: function types, for example, cannot automatically derive Show or Read ).

; Programming style: While typos in the program code are often caught by the compiler, a bug usually appears when the programmer makes a logic error.

In some programming languages, so-called typos, especially of symbols or logical / mathematical operators, actually represent logic errors, since the mistyped constructs are accepted by the compiler with a meaning other than that which the programmer intended.

* Linus Torvalds ( against Systems Hungarian ): " Encoding the type of a function into the name ( so-called Hungarian notation ) is brain damaged — the compiler knows the types anyway and can check those, and it only confuses the programmer.

In order to work around this issue, the specification allows the programmer to ( in C #) place the at-sign before the identifier which forces it to be considered an identifier rather than a reserved word by the compiler.

Ken Williams, a programmer for IBM, bought an Apple II microcomputer with which he planned to use to develop a FORTRAN compiler for the Apple II.

With a compiler, each time the programmer makes a change to the source code, s / he must wait for the compiler to translate the altered source files, and link all of the binary code files together before the program can be executed.

A human programmer writing in a compiled language might not have these concerns, as the compiler could be designed to generate machine code that avoids hazards.

As a result, data types do not need to be explicitly declared by the programmer ; they will be deduced by the compiler during compilation.

A programmer may want to place two question marks together yet not have the compiler treat them as introducing a trigraph.

In other words, the programmer has requested that the compiler insert the complete body of the function in every place that the function is called, rather than generating code to call the function in the one place it is defined.

One of the main functions of a compiler is to allow a programmer to write an algorithm in a high-level language without having to care about CPU-specific instructions.

This register allocation is either performed by a compiler, in the code generation phase, or manually, by an assembly language programmer.

It included many professional programmer quality tools: editor, project system, compiler, linker, visual debugger.

An optimizing compiler can only win on redundancies that the programmer could have avoided in the source code.

Normally the compiler automatically creates a copy constructor for each class ( known as a default copy constructor ) but for special cases the programmer creates the copy constructor, known as a user-defined copy constructor.

* If the compiler is the product of a SLR, LR ( 1 ) or LALR LR parser generator, the programmer will often rely on the generated parser feature of preferring shift over reduce whenever there is a conflict.

* If the compiler is the product of a programmer instead of a parser generator, the programmer may use a non-ambiguous context-free grammar.

On June 30, 2011 an unofficial version 4. 9. 9. 3 of Dev-C ++ was released by an independent programmer, featuring the more recent GCC 4. 5. 2 compiler, Windows ' SDK resources ( Win32 and D3D ), numerous bugfixes, and improved stability.

The implementation was led by Ric Holt at the University of Toronto and James Cordy was the principal programmer for the first implementation of the compiler.

People primarily known for their contributions to the consciousness of the programmer subculture of hackers include Richard Stallman, the founder of the free software movement and the GNU project, president of the Free Software Foundation and author of the famous Emacs text editor as well as the GNU Compiler Collection ( GCC ), and Eric S. Raymond, one of the founders of the Open Source Initiative and writer of the famous text The Cathedral and the Bazaar and many other essays, maintainer of the Jargon File ( which was previously maintained by Guy L. Steele, Jr .).

* David A. Wheeler, computer programmer and writer

According to early Commodore myth, and reported by writer / programmer Jim Butterfield among others, the " word " KERNAL is an acronym ( or maybe more likely, a backronym ) standing for Keyboard Entry Read, Network, And Link, which in fact makes good sense considering its role.

It started on the NEC PC-8801 in 1987, created by Masaya Hashimoto ( director, programmer, designer ) and Tomoyoshi Miyazaki ( scenario writer ).
