Compiler Architecture

Compiler architecture refers to the structured design of a program that translates source code written by a developer into machine code that a computer's processor can understand. It involves multiple stages: the compiler first analyzes the code (front-end), then optimizes it for efficiency, and finally converts it into low-level instructions (back-end). Each stage performs specific tasks to ensure the final output is correct, efficient, and suitable for execution on hardware. This architecture allows programming languages to be effectively turned into executable programs, facilitating software development across different systems and architectures.
