Language Processing System

Before continue reading this post if you have not read my previous post please read it first to get a better understanding of the concepts in a order.

Lets now see about Language Processing System,

The steps undergone by a source code to get converted in to machine code is as shown in below diagram.

Preprocessor :

• It is considered to be a part of the compiler.
• It deals with macro processing ,file inclusion, augmentation etc..
• In c program before writing a program we usually include library files in preprocessor it includes these library files with the source code.this is called file inclusion.
• we will discuss about macro processing in upcoming posts.

Compiler :

• As you know that compiler translates a source code into target code.
• see our previous post about compiler to get better knowledge about compilers(link:https://iamafutureprogrammer.blogspot.com/2019/05/what-is-compiler-and-interpreter.html)

Assembler :

• An Assembler translate assembly language program to machine code.
• Assembly language consist of instruction sets to deal with memory directly.

Linker/Loader:

• Linker is a computer program that links and merges various object files together in order to make an executable file.
• Loader is a part of operating system and is responsible for loading executable files into memory and execute them.

Thank you....
