Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is make parsing and semantic analysis simpler.
Key Points
- Intermediate code is used in compilers as a bridge between the source code and machine code.
- It simplifies parsing and semantic analysis by providing an abstract representation of the source code.
- This abstraction helps in isolating the machine-dependent and machine-independent parts of the compilation process.
- By using intermediate code, the compiler can perform optimizations more effectively and can target multiple machine architectures.
- Examples of intermediate code forms include Three-Address Code (TAC), Static Single Assignment (SSA), and others.
Additional Information
- Intermediate code can be more easily manipulated by different phases of the compiler than the original source code.
- It provides a uniform structure that can be used to implement various optimizations and transformations.
- Using intermediate code helps in separating the concerns of front-end and back-end compiler development.
- It can be reused across different compilers, which improves development efficiency and maintainability.
