Test: Compiler Design - 2 - Computer Science Engineering (CSE) MCQ

No Logical errors can’t be detected.

The Canadian Cross is a technique for building cross compilers for other machines. Given three machines X, Y, and Z, one uses machine X (e.g. running Windows XP on an IA-32 processor) to build a cross compiler that runs on machine Y (e.g. running Mac OS X on an x86-64 processor) to create executables for machine Z.

Intermediate code generator receives input from its predecessor phase, semantic analyzer, in the form of an annotated syntax tree.

Gives tokens as output

The phases of a compiler are:
1. Lexical analysis
2. Syntax analysis
3. Semantic analysis
4. Intermediate code generator
5. Code optimizer
6. Code generator

Logic flaws can never be checked by a compiler.

The compiler generates a symbol table, which contains a list of lexemes or tokens.

A loader that combines the functionality of a relocation loader with the ability to combine a number of independently compiled program segments.

It is the Second Phase of the Compiler after Lexical Analyzer. It is also called Hierarchical Analysis or Parsing.

Only syntactical errors can be detected by the compiler.
