3. DOCUMENT 5 IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF

COMPILER
A compiler works with what are sometimes called 3GL and
higher-level languages. An assembler works on programs written
using a processor's assembler language.
A program that translates between high-level languages is
usually called a source-to-source compiler or transpiler. A
language rewriter is usually a program that translates the form of
expressions without a change of language.
When executing (running), the compiler first parses (or analyzes)
all of the language statements syntactically one after the other
and then, in one or more successive stages or "passes", builds
the output code, making sure that statements that refer to other
statements are referred to correctly in the final code.

A native or hosted compiler is one which output is intended to

directly run on the same type of computer and operating system
that the compiler itself runs on. The output of a cross compiler is
designed to run on a different platform. Cross compilers are often
used when developing software for embedded systems that are
not intended to support a software development environment.

Traditionally in some operating systems, an additional step was

required after compilation - that of resolving the relative location
of instructions and data when more than one object module was
to be run at the same time and they cross-referred to each
other's instruction sequences or data. This process was
sometimes called linkage editing and the output known as a load
module.
