Optimization is a program transformation technique, which tries to improve the code by making it consume less resources (i.e. CPU, Memory) and deliver high speed. In optimization, high-level general programming…

Code generation can be considered as the final phase of compilation. Through post code generation, optimization process can be applied on the code, but that can be seen as a…

From the perspective of the compiler writer, the executing target program runs in its own logical address space in which each program value has a location. The management and organization…
