Modular Compiler Infrastructure

Modular compiler infrastructure refers to a flexible system that breaks down the process of turning source code into executable programs into separate, interchangeable parts or modules. Each module handles a specific task, such as parsing code, analyzing it, optimizing, or generating machine instructions. This design makes it easier to update, improve, or customize the compiler for different languages or platforms without rebuilding everything from scratch. Think of it like a set of building blocks that can be rearranged or replaced, allowing for more adaptable and maintainable compiler development.
