The xcc700 is a very small, lightweight C compiler designed specifically for the ESP32 microcontroller. It is like a mini ...

I'm on a student research project that requires heavy computations so I need to set up a programming environment for CUDA. At my disposal I have Visual Studio 2013 and Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015. I ...

Older CPUs and some fairly modern microcontrollers are not made to readily support C compilers. Among those are the 1802, some 8-bit PICs, and the 6502 at the heart of the Commodore 64. That’s not to ...

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 ...

With AdaCore’s latest GNAT Pro Ada compiler, it’s now possible to generate C source code using its Common Code Generator (CCG). This is designed to provide portability to the vast majority of ...

Microsoft continues its plan to revitalize its decades-old C/++ compiler, with a focus on areas such as diagnostics and standards compliance, while striving for backward compatibility. The company, in ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

How many instructions do you need to successfully compile C code? Let’s see, you’d need some jump instructions, some arithmetic functions, and — of course — move instructions, right? Turns out you ...

Compilers often translate source code for a high-level language, such as C++, to object code for the current computer architecture, such as Intel x64. The object modules produced from multiple ...
