Difficulty: Hard

About this MCQ

This Hard Compiler Design MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “What is the function or purpose of Intermediate code generation?”

The accepted answer is B. The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation.. The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation is the fact required by What is the function or purpose of Intermediate code generation option B Option A The final compiler phase that converts optimized intermediate code into target machine code does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation Option C A sequence of characters in source code that matches the pattern for a token does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before.

A. The final compiler phase that converts optimized intermediate code into target machine code.
Why not A: “The final compiler phase that converts optimized intermediate code into target machine code.” is not correct. The accepted answer is B. The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation..

Correct answer

B. The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation.

Explanation

The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation is the fact required by What is the function or purpose of Intermediate code generation option B Option A The final compiler phase that converts optimized intermediate code into target machine code does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation Option C A sequence of characters in source code that matches the pattern for a token does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before.
