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…

Compiler (High Level Code translation)
Compilers are essential tools in programming, designed to transform high-level code written by developers into machine-readable code that a computer’s hardware can execute. They enable languages like C, C++, and Java to be turned into efficient executable programs, making them foundational to software development. Stages of Compilation 1. Lexical Analysis: The compiler starts by breaking…
