What (who) is pessimising compiler - definition

PROGRAM THAT GENERATES PARSERS OR COMPILERS FROM SOURCE FILES

Parser generator; Parser generators; Compiler compiler; Compiler Compiler; Compiler generator; Semantic action routine; Compiler development tools; Metacompiler; Parser compiler

pessimising compiler

/pes'*-mi:z"ing k*m-pi:l"r/ (Antonym of "{optimising compiler}") A compiler that produces object code that is worse than the straightforward or obvious hand translation. The implication is that the compiler is actually trying to optimise the program, but through excessive cleverness is doing the opposite. A few pessimizing compilers have been written on purpose, however, as pranks or burlesques. (1995-02-01)

compiler-compiler

A utility to generate the source code of a parser, interpreter or compiler from an annotated language description (usually in BNF). Most so called compiler-compilers are really just parser generators. Examples are Bison, Eli, FSL, META 5, MUG2, Parsley, Pre-cc, Yacc. (1995-01-23)

Compiler-compiler

In computer science, a compiler-compiler or compiler generator is a programming tool that creates a parser, interpreter, or compiler from some form of formal description of a programming language and machine.

The most common type of compiler-compiler is more precisely called a parser generator. It only handles syntactic analysis.

The input of a parser generator is a grammar file, typically written in Backus–Naur form (BNF) or extended Backus–Naur form (EBNF) that defines the syntax of a target programming language.

The output is the source code of a parser for the programming language. The output of the (compiled) parser source code is a parser. It may be either standalone or embedded. This parser takes as an input the source code of the target programming language source and performs some action or outputs an abstract syntax tree (AST).

Parser generators do not handle the semantics of the AST, or the generation of machine code for the target machine.

A metacompiler is a software development tool used mainly in the construction of compilers, translators, and interpreters for other programming languages. The input to a metacompiler is a computer program written in a specialized programming metalanguage designed mainly for the purpose of constructing compilers. The language of the compiler produced is called the object language. The minimal input producing a compiler is a metaprogram specifying the object language grammar and semantic transformations into an object program.
