Table des symbolesUne table de symboles est une centralisation des informations rattachées aux identificateurs d'un programme informatique. C'est une fonction accélératrice de compilation, dont l'efficacité dépend de la conception. Dans une table des symboles, on retrouve des informations comme : le type, l'emplacement mémoire, la portée, la visibilité, etc. Généralement, la table est créée dynamiquement. Une première portion est créée au début de la compilation. Puis, de façon opportuniste, en fonction des besoins, elle est complétée.
Translator (computing)A translator or programming language processor is a generic term that can refer to a compiler, assembler, or interpreter—anything that converts code from one computer language into another. These include translations between high-level and human-readable computer languages such as C++ and Java, intermediate-level languages such as Java bytecode, low-level languages such as the assembly language and machine code, and between similar levels of language on different computing platforms, as well as from any of these to any other of these.
Label (computer science)In programming languages, a label is a sequence of characters that identifies a location within source code. In most languages, labels take the form of an identifier, often followed by a punctuation character (e.g., a colon). In many high-level languages, the purpose of a label is to act as the destination of a GOTO statement. In assembly language, labels can be used anywhere an address can (for example, as the operand of a JMP or MOV instruction). Also in Pascal and its derived variations.
