For Compile we have terms and definitions in 6 topics. The topics are Cad, Computer Technology, Computer Virus, Direct Marketing, Real Time 3D and Technology.

Compile (Cad)

To generate a machine language program from a computer program
written in a high level source code.

Compile (Computer Technology)

To perform semantic preprocessing of the code, usually optimizing one or more qualities of the code, such as run-time speed of execution or run-time storage usage. The minimum semantic requirements of compilation are that it must remove all macro calls and arrange for all load time values to be resolved prior to run time.

Compile (Computer Virus)

To convert a high-level script into a low-level set of commands that can be executed or run. Syntax errors are discovered when a script is being compiled.

Compile (Direct Marketing)

A process where a computer translates a series of instructions written in a programming language into actual machine language.

Compile (Real Time 3D)

Programmers have to convert source code, written in a high-level language such as C, into object code (typically Assembly language), so that a microprocessor can run the program. This is similar to the process artists go thru in order to create game art-- I create textures in Photoshop, saving them in PSD format, then I convert them down to the appropriate bitmap format for use in the game. However, it can take a long time for programmers to compile their code, like overnight or a couple days, depending on the complexity.

Compile (Technology)

To translate all the source code of a program from a high-level language into object code prior to execution of the program. Object code is executable machine code or a variation of machine code. More generally, compiling is sometimes used to describe translating any high-level symbolic description into a lower-level symbolic or machine-readable format. A program that performs this task is known as a compiler. See also compiler, compile time, high-level language, machine code, source code. Compare interpret.
