If you are writing a hello world program, you probably aren’t too concerned about how the compiler translates your source code to machine code. However, if your code runs on something that pe… ...

LLVM is a compiler framework for programmatically generating machine-native code. Developers use it to roll out new languages and enhance existing ones.

Older CPUs and some fairly modern microcontrollers are not made to readily support C compilers. Among those are the 1802, some 8-bit PICs, and the 6502 at the heart of the Commodore 64. That’s ...

Writing a compiler seems like a much harder problem than an interpreter. If that is so, why was the first compiler written six years before the first interpreter?

Starting with Clang 10.0 and Rust 1.47 (the current Nightly build), the two compilers can now also compile C/C++ projects into Windows apps that tap into the CFG feature to safeguard control flows ...

The Palo Alto giant's browser will be ditching Microsoft's native C++ compiler in favour of Clang in order to maintain parity with other platforms like macOS and Linux, where Clang is already used.
