    The compilation process consists of multiple phases where each phase takes the output of the previous phase as input. The phases include lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, intermediate code generation, code optimization, code generation, and symbol table management. Compiler technology is used for high-level programming, optimizations for computer architectures, designing new computer architectures, program translations, and software productivity tools.

    Compiler Design - Phases of Compiler

    The compilation process is a sequence of various phases. Each phase


    takes input from its previous stage, its own representation of source
    program, and feeds its output to the next phase of the compiler.
    Lexical Analysis
    The first phase of scanner works as a text scanner. This phase scans the
    source code as a stream of characters
    Syntax Analysis
    The next phase is called the syntax analysis or parsing. It takes the token
    produced by lexical analysis as input and generates a parse tree

    Semantic Analysis
    Semantic analysis checks whether the parse tree constructed follows the
    rules of language

    Intermediate Code Generation


    After semantic analysis the compiler generates an intermediate code of the
    source code for the target machine. 

    Code Optimization
    The next phase does code optimization of the intermediate code.
    Optimization can be assumed as something that removes unnecessary code
    lines, 

    Code Generation
    The code generator translates the intermediate code into a sequence of
    (generally) re-locatable machine code. 

    Symbol Table
    The symbol table makes it easier for the compiler to quickly search the
    identifier record and retrieve it. The symbol table is also used for scope
    management.

    Applications of Compiler Technology


     Compiler technology has other important uses as well. Additionally,
    compiler design impacts several other areas of computer science.

    1 Implementation of High-Level Programming


    A high-level programming language defines a programming abstraction:
    the programmer expresses an algorithm using the language, and the
    compiler must translate that program to the target language.

    2. Optimizations for Computer Architectures


    The rapid evolution of computer architectures has also led to an insatiable
    demand for new compiler technology. 

    3. Design of New Computer Architectures


    Thus, in modern computer architecture development, compilers are
    developed in the processor-design stage, and compiled code, running on
    simulators, is used to evaluate the proposed architectural features.

    4. Program Translations
     
    While we normally think of compiling as a translation from a high-level language
    to the machine level, the same technology can be applied to translate between
    different kinds of languages. 

    5. Software Productivity Tools


     
    Programs are arguably the most complicated engineering artifacts ever pro-duced;
    they consist of many many details, every one of which must be correct before the
    program will work completely.
