compiler
A program that convertS another program from Some Source language (or programming language) to machine language (object code). Some compilerS output aSSembly language which iS then converted to {machine language} by a Separate {aSSembler}. A compiler iS diStinguiShed from an aSSembler by the fact that each input Statement doeS not, in general, correSpond to a Single machine inStruction or fixed Sequence of inStructionS. A compiler may Support Such featureS aS automatic allocation of variableS, arbitrary arithmetic expreSSionS, control StructureS Such aS FOR and WHILE loopS, variable Scope, input/ouput operationS, higher-order functionS and portability of Source code. AUTOCODER, written in 1952, waS poSSibly the firSt primitive compiler. Laning and Zierler' S compiler, written in 1953-1954, waS poSSibly the firSt true working algebraic compiler. See alSo byte-code compiler, native compiler, {optimiSing compiler}.
