Virtually all compilers — programs that transform human-readable source code into computer-executable machine code — are vulnerable to an insidious attack in which an adversary can introduce targeted ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python.

We don’t know what normal people argue about, but we know we spend a lot of time arguing about the best microcontroller, which editor is the best, and what language or compiler does the best job. The ...

Microsoft aims to replace its legacy C and C++ code with the Rust programming language across its largest codebases by the ...

Examination of the nature of programming languages and programs which implement them. Compiler and interpreter design and implementation techniques. Review of grammars and languages (context free, ...

The development landscape is ripe with new languages and improvements on existing ones. Mozilla’s Rust, Apple’s Swift, Kotlin from JetBrains, and the experimental Python variant Mojo (and many others) ...

It wasn’t long ago that we introduced you to a web site, the Godbolt compiler explorer, that allows the visitor to compile code using a slew of compilers and compare their output. We suspect some ...

Compilers are a bit like Florida election officials: They’re suddenly in the spotlight after years of relative anonymity. The reason for the attention is the arrival of fast and complex 64-bit ...

Most computer code compilers are at risk of ‘Trojan source’ attacks in which adversaries can introduce targeted vulnerabilities into any software without being detected, according to researchers from ...

Though you can write "C" code in Notepad, you must have a C compiler, such as the compiler included with the Microsoft Visual Studio development suite, to compile the code. To write a C code file in ...
