Compilation of a C program - Behind the 'screen'

First, what is compilation?

**Compilation **is an automated process of conversion of a source code (script) into an object code.

In software terms, a Compiler compiles a script i.e. it converts the source code into object code. But, before the conversion, it checks for the presence of any syntax errors in the code, after which the code is converted into an object code.

Let us now have a look at the various phases of compilation.

Learning C: Input and Output and Two Program Templates

Before I get too deep into C, I need to show you how to get data into and out of your programs. Using assignment for data gets old after a while and you want to be able to have users enter their own data. And you definitely need to be able to see what happens to your data in a program so learning how to display data to the screen is important and necessary.

Besides demonstrating how to perform input and output in C, I will also be demonstrating two templates that are related to those topics — Prompt, Then Read and Input, Process, Output (IPO). The IPO template, in particular, is important because practically every C program you write will use this template.

When I talk about input and output in C, I’ll use the terms standard input and standard output. These terms refer to the default input and output devices on your computer. The standard input device is the keyboard. The standard output device is the computer’s monitor or screen. I will only use the terms input and output and when I use those terms I’m referring to standard input and standard output. If I want to refer to a different device for input and/or output, I’ll use the specific term for that device.

Source Generators Will Enable Compile-Time Metaprogramming in C#

Source generators are a new feature of the C# compiler that enables inspecting user code using compiler-generated metadata and generating additional source files to be compiled along with the rest of program.

Loosely inspired by F# type providers, C# source generators respond to the same aim of enabling metaprogramming but in a completely different way. Indeed, while F# type providers emit types, properties, and methods in-memory, source generators emit C# code back into the compilation process.

Behind the compiler: 20 examples of C# code before and after compiling

Over years I have written many blog posts about C# and .NET that demonstrate also how things work internally and what C# compiler produces from the code we write. I have called these chapters usually as “Behind the compiler”. This post is growing list of my writings covering interesting findings about C# compiler work.

WASI Development Toolchain for C/C++

We realized that compiling already existing C/C++ projects to WASI was much more challenging than we expected. This is because of two main reasons:

1. It’s not trivial to install and use the WASI SDK
2. It’s quite hard to port existing projects to WASI as it requires a tighter integration with all configuration and make tools

Inspired by these challenges we have been working non-stop on improving the tooling so it’s easier for anyone to use and adopt WebAssembly and WASI!
