The designers of the language decided to make the compiler available free of charge so that the language would become widespread.

According to principal architect Stephen P. Morse, this was a result of a more software centric approach than in the design of earlier Intel processors ( the designers had experience working with compiler implementations ).

The designers wanted to make the language hardware-independent, to allow True BASIC source code to run equally well on any version of their compiler.

The designers worked closely with compiler writers at IAR Systems to ensure that the instruction set provided for more efficient compilation of high-level languages.

A goal of compiler and processor designers is to identify and take advantage of as much ILP as possible.

For example, the bit-oriented " XOR EAX, EAX " ( example in Intel assembler syntax ) instruction was the fastest way to set a register to zero in the early generations of the x86, but most code is generated by compilers and compilers rarely generated XOR instructions, so the IA designers decided to move the frequently occurring compiler generated instructions up to the front of the combinational decode logic, making the literal " MOV EAX, 0 " instruction execute faster than the XOR instruction.

The AA compiler generated range-checking for array accesses, and allowed an array to have dimensions that were determined at run-time ( i. e. you could declare an array as < code >< u > integer </ u > < u > array </ u > Thing ( i: j )</ code >, where and were calculated values ).

Higher level programming languages were not invented until the benefits of being able to reuse software on different kinds of CPUs started to become significantly greater than the costs of writing a compiler.

Some parts of DEC, notably the compiler business and the Hudson, Massachusetts facility, were sold to Intel.

This was the first optimizing compiler, because customers were reluctant to use a high-level programming language unless its compiler could generate code whose performance was comparable to that of hand-coded assembly language.

Prior to FORTRAN 77, a number of preprocessors were commonly used to provide a friendlier language, with the advantage that the preprocessed code could be compiled on any machine with a standard FORTRAN compiler.

Initially the components required for kernel and development were written: editors, shell, compiler and all the others.

By 1997, it was apparent that the IA-64 architecture and the compiler were much more difficult to implement than originally thought, and the delivery of Merced began slipping.

With new processor hardware, new memory hardware and a novel memory architecture, a new compiler port, a new port of a relatively new operating system, and exposed memory hazards, early systems were noted for frequent system crashes.

At the beginning of the 7th century, there were probably twenty-five titular churches in Rome ; even granting that, perhaps, the compiler of the Liber Pontificalis referred this number to the time of Marcellus, there is still a clear historical tradition in support of his declaration that the ecclesiastical administration in Rome was reorganized by this pope after the great persecution.

Paper tape versions of a number of programming languages were available, including DEC's FOCAL interpreter and a 4K FORTRAN compiler and runtime.

Two early compilers generating p-code were the Pascal-P compiler in 1973, by Nori, Ammann, Jensen, Hageli, and Jacobi,

At one time, versions for Tandy, Amiga and Atari computers were offered, as well as a UNIX command-line compiler.

Being able to compile, link, and run the program demonstrated that all of the run-time libraries, compiler, and link editor were installed in the correct locations.

Fisher's innovations were around developing a compiler that could target horizontal microcode from programs written in an ordinary programming language.

The major semiconductor companies recognized the value of Multiflow technology in this context, so the compiler and architecture were subsequently licensed to most of these companies.

Because a number of people were interested in using the FORTRAN language and yet wanted to obtain the speed of the MAD compiler, a system called MADTRAN ( written in MAD ) was developed.

Unfortunately, there were some subtle differences between the interpreter and the compiler, which meant that large programs that ran correctly in the interpreter might fail after compilation, or not compile at all because of differences in the memory management routines.

However, both the generated compiler and the code it produced were inefficient in time and space.

Its two most distinguished inmates were Alexander Cruden, compiler of the Concordance to the Bible, and the poet Christopher Smart.

Ron bootstrapped Small-C on the SRI International PDP 11 / 45 Unix system with an account provided by John Bass for Small C development ( with management permission, provided the compiler sources were released as public domain ).

In fact, Atmel solicited input from major developers of compilers for small microcontrollers, to determine the instruction set features that were most useful in a compiler for high-level languages.

Since programs were tediously input with punched cards, the compiler had a high tolerance for error, attempting to bypass or even correct problem sections of code.

These were supported by an in-house compiler team.

CLISP includes an interpreter, a bytecode compiler, debugger, socket interface, high-level foreign language interface, strong internationalization support, and two object systems: Common Lisp Object System ( CLOS ) and metaobject protocol ( MOP ).

One claimed advantage of weak typing over strong typing is that it requires less effort on the part of the programmer because the compiler or interpreter implicitly performs certain kinds of conversions.

MFC was introduced in 1992 with Microsoft's C / C ++ 7. 0 compiler for use with 16-bit versions of Windows as an extremely thin object-oriented C ++ wrapper for the Windows API.

Another major problem was its immature untuned Ada compiler, It used high-cost object-oriented instructions in every case, instead of the faster scalar instructions where it would have made sense to do so.

Apple's compilers had some features that were not common on other platforms — for example, the Pascal compiler was object-oriented, while the C and C ++ compilers included support for length-prefixed strings ( needed for Pascal-oriented APIs ).

Fail-Safe C is an open-source memory-safe ANSI-C compiler that performs bounds checking based on fat pointers and object-oriented memory access.

Boo is an object-oriented, statically typed, general-purpose programming language that seeks to make use of the Common Language Infrastructure's support for Unicode, internationalization, and web applications, while using a Python-inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility.

When object-oriented language compilers were first being developed, much of the existing compiler technology was used, and objects were built on top of the record concept.

The goal of the effort is to preserve the most useful object-oriented features of the C ++ language yet minimize code size while maximizing execution efficiency and making compiler construction simpler.

The virtual machine paradigm allows the same compiler output to be used across multiple target systems, although this is not always ideal because virtual machines are often slower and the compiled program can only be run on computers with that virtual machine.

In the interactive programming paradigm, e. g. in Poplog related literature, and an interactive compiler refers to a compiler that is actually a part of the runtime system of the source language.

This was, however, one of the first instances ( if not the first ) of compiler bootstrapping.

With this revision, occam became a language capable of expressing useful programs, whereas occam 1 was more suited to examining algorithms and exploring the new language ( however, the occam 1 compiler was written in occam 1, so there is an existence proof that reasonably sized, useful programs could be written in occam 1, despite its limitations ).

Many languages already have compiler front-ends designed for Parrot ; however, many of them are still only partially functional.

The C ++ language had grown beyond its capabilities ; however a compiler with similar approach became available later, namely Comeau C / C ++.

It has few words that expose the compiler behaviour and therefore naturally offers genericity capacities which, however, are not referred to as such in most Forth texts.

It is disputed, however, whether the words in the Suda (" of which this book is an epitome ") mean that Sudas compiler himself epitomized the work of Hesychius, or whether they are part of the title of an already epitomized Hesychius used in the compilation of the Suda.

A pure compiler implementation is the typical solution for low-level languages, because it comes out as more " natural ", and because of efficiency concerns ; however with some effort it is always possible to write compilers even for traditionally interpreted languages.

If the compiler is a sufficiently recent version of gcc, however, automake will inline the dependency generation code to call gcc directly.

In dynamic languages, however, they provide access to the inner workings of the compiler, and full access to the interpreter, virtual machine, or runtime, allowing the definition of language-like constructs which can optimize code or modify the syntax or grammar of the language.

Behavioral subtyping is trivially undecidable in general: if q is the property " method for x always terminates ", then it is impossible for a program ( e. g. a compiler ) to verify that it holds true for some subtype S of T even if q does hold for T. The principle is useful however in reasoning about the design of class hierarchies.

Without inline functions, however, the compiler decides which functions to inline.

It is however, not guaranteed that a copy constructor will be called in these cases, because the C ++ Standard allows the compiler to optimize the copy away in certain cases, one example being the return value optimization ( sometimes referred to as RVO ).

Functional and logic compilers often use CPS as an intermediate representation where a compiler for an imperative or procedural programming language would use static single assignment form ( SSA ); however, SSA and CPS are equivalent.

A free CHILL compiler was bundled with GCC up to version 2. 95, however, was removed from later versions.

Unlike QuickBASIC, however, FreeBASIC is a compiler only and users must manually download, install and configure their IDE of choice.

Unlike sigils, however, Hungarian notation provides no information to the compiler ; as such, explicit types must be redundantly specified for the variables ( unless using a language with type inference ).

He, however, devoted himself chiefly to reading and to bibliographical research ; acquired a very unusual knowledge of English and American literature, and is remembered as the compiler of the well-known Critical Dictionary of English Literature and British and American Authors ( 3 vols.

A. Epstein, however, is of the opinion that the final compiler of the midrash, certainly not Moses ha-Darshan, took from the Yesod whatever he considered appropriate for his purpose, especially from Moses ' midrashic interpretation of the Genesis creation myth.

Some compiler optimizations still find this definition useful, however.

The band and their UK label were keen to continue using special packaging for the singles from Version 2. 0 ; however new rules issued the previous year from UK chart compiler CIN had forbidden the chart inclusion of sales of any singles packaged elaborately.

In the 1950s, however, compiler meant what we might today call a linking loader ( see Linker and Loader ) or an assembler.
