CMUCL uses a fast native-code compiler.

Various modern compiler static code analysis techniques ( such as elimination of dead code: for example, code which uses the processor but produces internal results which are not used or output ) make the use and design of synthetic benchmarks more difficult.

CoreMark avoids issues such as the compiler computing the work during compile time, and uses real algorithms rather than being completely synthetic.

The Mesa compiler type-checks all uses of imported entities ; this combination of separate compilation with type-checking was unusual at the time.

In a VLIW, the compiler uses heuristics or profile information to guess the direction of a branch.

The bef2c compiler included with the standard Befunge-93 distribution uses threaded code: each instruction is compiled to a snippet of C code, and control flows through the snippets just as it does in a Befunge interpreter ( that is, conditionally on the value of some ' direction ' register.

In a compiler that uses an intermediate language, there may be two instruction selection stages — one to convert the parse tree into intermediate code, and a second phase much later to convert the intermediate code into instructions from the instruction set of the target machine.

Instead, it uses an external compiler such as gcc to produce executable code.

When developing software for a new platform, or the emulator of a future platform, one uses a cross compiler to compile necessary tools such as the operating system and a native compiler.

Given three machines A, B, and C, one uses machine A ( e. g. running Windows XP on an IA-32 processor ) to build a cross compiler that runs on machine B ( e. g. running Mac OS X on an x86-64 processor ) to create executables for machine C ( e. g. running Android on an ARM processor ).

The original, now called Shared Workgroup Build, uses the Bonjour protocol to automatically discover computers providing compiler services, and the free software distcc.

David A. Wheeler has proposed a counter to this attack using an approach he calls " diverse double-compiling ", which uses techniques adapted from compiler bootstrapping.

* The Open64 compiler uses SSA form in its global scalar optimizer, though the code is brought into SSA form before and taken out of SSA form afterwards.

* Sun Microsystems ' Java HotSpot Virtual Machine uses an SSA-based intermediate language in its JIT compiler.

* Mono uses SSA in its JIT compiler called Mini.

* Although not a compiler, the Boomerang decompiler uses SSA form in its internal representation.

* Portable. NET uses SSA in its JIT compiler.

* The COINS compiler uses SSA form optimizations as explained here: http :// www. is. titech. ac. jp /~ sassa / coins-www-ssa / english /

* PyPy uses a linear SSA representation for traces in its JIT compiler.

* Android's Dalvik virtual machine uses SSA in its JIT compiler.

* The Standard ML compiler MLton uses SSA in one of its intermediate languages.

The core engine is an interpreter which uses state-of-the-art techniques to deliver performance that can approach that of a " naive " just-in-time ( JIT ) compiler, while retaining the software engineering advantages of interpreters: portability, maintainability and simplicity.

Instead the compiler often uses compiler-specific auxiliary functions in the runtime library that are mostly not accessible to application programmers.

JPI first launched a MS-DOS compiler named JPI Modula-2, that later became TopSpeed Modula-2, and followed up with TopSpeed C, TopSpeed C ++ and TopSpeed Pascal compilers for both the MS-DOS and OS / 2 operating systems.

He is also credited with the first port of the GNU C compiler to the INTEL 386 architecture, used in the original implementation of the Linux kernel.

The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper, in 1952, for the A-0 programming language.

; Kyoto Common Lisp: the first Common Lisp compiler that used C as a target language.

Dijkstra was known to be a fan of ALGOL 60, and worked on the team that implemented the first compiler for that language.

The first manual for FORTRAN appeared in October 1956, with the first FORTRAN compiler delivered in April 1957.

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.

A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.

* The first programming language and first compiler specifically for microprocessors.

Multiplan was released first for computers running CP / M ; it was developed using a Microsoft proprietary p-code C compiler as part of a portability strategy that facilitated ports to systems such as MS-DOS, Xenix, Commodore 64, Texas Instruments TI-99 / 4A, Radio Shack TRS-80 Model II, TRS-80 Model 100 ( on ROM ), Apple II, and Burroughs B-20 series.

The first application run in such a context is a more sophisticated and powerful macro compiler, written in the machine-independent macro language.

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

The first compiler was for BASIC ( 1982 ) when a 4. 8 MHz 8088 / 87 CPU obtained 0. 01 MWIPS.

Grace Hopper, was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, a pioneer in the field, developed the first compiler, around 1952, for a computer programming language.

IBM took NPL as a starting point and completed the design to a level that the first compiler could

The first compiler was delivered in 1966.

The first Pascal compiler was designed in Zürich for the CDC 6000 series mainframe computer family.

The first successful port of the CDC Pascal compiler to another mainframe was completed by Welsh and Quinn at the Queen's University of Belfast ( QUB ) in 1972.
