Byte Code

Byte code plays a pivotal role in modern software development, particularly in programming languages that prioritize portability and cross-platform functionality. It is an intermediate representation of source code that bridges the gap between high-level programming languages and machine-specific code. Unlike native machine code, which is tailored to a specific platform, byte code is designed to…
Compiler Design: Code Generation

Code generation is the final phase of a compiler, where intermediate representations are transformed into target machine code. This phase is responsible for producing efficient, executable code that meets the performance requirements of the hardware. Key components of code generation include target code generation, instruction selection, register allocation, and optimization techniques. Let’s delve into these…
