Compiler design is the process of creating a program that can translate source code written in a high-level programming language into machine code that can be executed by a computer
. The process of translating the source code into machine code involves several stages, including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, code generation, and optimization
. The compiler verifies all types of limits, ranges, errors, etc. and checks for semantic errors such as undeclared variables and incorrect function calls
. The code generated by the compiler must be efficient and optimized for the target platform
. Compiler design is a complex process that involves multiple stages and requires a deep understanding of both the programming language and the target platform
. A well-designed compiler can greatly improve the efficiency and performance of software programs, making them more useful and valuable for users
