Compiler Design Quiz CSE 1

The intermediate code generation phase translates from:

• Source code to machine code

• Lexical tokens to syntax tree

• Syntax tree to intermediate code

• Intermediate code to optimized code

Which phases focus on generating and optimizing the target code?

• Lexical Analysis and Syntax Analysis

• Semantic Analysis and Code Optimization

• Code Generation and Optimization

• All of the above

Which phases are primarily concerned with analyzing the source code?

• Lexical Analysis and Code Optimization

• Lexical Analysis, Syntax Analysis, and Semantic Analysis

• Semantic Analysis and Code Generation

• Code Generation and Optimization

The symbol table stores information about:

• Keywords only

• Operators only

• Variables, functions, and data types

• Code statements

Code optimization focuses on improving:

• Readability

• Maintainability

• Performance

• Security

What is the primary function of a compiler?

• Converts high-level language into machine code

• Interprets source code at runtime

• Compresses files for storage

• Manages memory allocation

Which symbol is commonly used to represent 'end of input' in parsing tables?

• *

• $

• #

• &

Dead code elimination is an optimization technique performed during:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Semantic Analysis

• Code Optimization

What information does a parsing table typically contain?
