Context #1 | Noun

computer programming

A compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language and turns them into machine language or "code" that a computer's processor uses.

Synonyms

converter, interpreter, translator

Examples of usage

  • Programmers use compilers to convert their source code into executable programs.
  • Compilers help to catch syntax errors and optimize code for better performance.
Context #2 | Noun

technology

In technology, a compiler is a software program that translates high-level programming languages into machine language.

Synonyms

converter, interpreter, translator

Examples of usage

  • Modern compilers often include optimizations to improve the speed and efficiency of the resulting machine code.
  • Developers rely on compilers to convert their code into a format that can be executed by a computer.

Word origin

The concept of a compiler dates back to the 1950s, with the development of the first high-level programming languages. Early compilers were basic and focused on simple translations, but as technology advanced, compilers became more sophisticated and capable of handling complex optimizations. Today, compilers are essential tools for software development, enabling programmers to write code in familiar languages and have it translated into instructions that computers can execute efficiently.
