That depends on the programming language you're using. An assembler is used to translate assembly instructions into machine code. A compiler will only require this if it first translates source code into assembly.
C compiler is a set of program written in order to convert a user code into an executable code which is understood by a Computer.
Compliers are used to convert C++ into assembly code. Then a tool called an "assembler" converts that code into machine code. Finally, a "linker" connects all of those machine code files into a single executable.
A DLL is an executable library, and exists in "compiled form" (binary). You cannot "edit" them. You can use a "disassembler", which will give you a code in assembler, that you can edit. Often called "reverse-engineering" (and often forbidden by copyright) However, if you are not proficient in assembler, don't even try!
There's no such thing as 'Executable Code'! The source code is compiled and the final result is an executable.
A linker takes the object files produced by the compiler and links them together to form a single machine code executable.
There are several examples of assemblers: GAS - the GNU Assembler MASM - Microsoft Macro Assembler NASM - Netwide Assembler The assembler is the program which converts assembly code into machine code - a necessary step to prepare a program for execution.
An absolute assembler is a computing term for an assembler which generates code which uses only absolute addresses.
An Assembler converts an assembly language source code into machine-specific code.
An assembler is a type of software that translates assembly language, a low-level programming language closely related to machine code, into executable machine code for a computer's processor. A schema, on the other hand, is a blueprint or structure that defines how data is organized, often used in databases to outline the relationships and constraints between different data entities. In essence, an assembler converts human-readable code into machine-readable instructions, while a schema organizes and defines data for efficient storage and retrieval.
an assembler is aroutine program that translates assemly language source code to a machine language object code
Programming Languages are a form of comunication between a programmer and the hardware. So the code written in C has to be compiled/transformed into machine code (similar to Assembler) so that the hardware can understand what to do. Compilation leaves your code ready to excecute. Withought it you only have the recipe of what the program does.
Okay, heres basically how it works- 1. The preprocessor reads all the includes/imports, macros, and other directives. 2. The compiler takes the source, and translates it into assembler language. 3. The assembler takes the code generated by the compiler, and makes an assembly listing with offsets, and then stores this in object files. 4. The linker links together these object files into a single file (EXE file)
