COMPILING Meaning and Definition

1. Compiling is a process performed by a computer program known as a compiler, which transforms human-readable source code written in a high-level programming language into machine-readable code. It involves the conversion of the entire source code into a format that can be understood and executed by the computer's hardware.

   During the compilation process, the compiler scans the source code for syntax and semantic errors, and translates it into a lower-level language, typically machine code or an intermediate representation like assembly language. This translation is being done in a step-by-step manner, which may include lexical analysis (breaking up the source code into individual tokens), syntax analysis (analyzing the structure of the code), semantic analysis (checking for correct usage and meaning), and code optimization (improving efficiency and performance).

   The compiled code, also referred to as object code, is generally platform-specific and cannot be executed directly by a human or interpreted by another compiler. Instead, it needs to be linked with other necessary libraries and components to create an executable program, which can be run on a particular computer system or device.

   Compiling has several advantages, including improved performance, error detection before execution, and portability across different hardware platforms. It allows programmers to write complex programs using high-level languages, while benefiting from the efficiency and optimization achieved by the compilation process.

Etymology of COMPILING

The word "compiling" can be traced back to the Latin term "compilare", which means "to plunder" or "to gather together". In medieval Latin, "compilare" took on the meaning of "to collect or compile information or texts". This term was then borrowed and evolved in various European languages, eventually leading to the development of the English word "compile" in the late 14th century. "Compiling" as a gerund form of "compile" emerged later to specifically refer to the process of assembling computer programs from source code.
