On 22nd February 2025, we had the opportunity to present a seminar on  Stages of Compiler Design, where we explored the complete process of transforming high-level code into machine-executable instructions. This seminar provided a deep understanding of how compilers work and the role each stage plays in efficient code translation.  

We began by discussing Lexical Analysis, the first phase where the source code is scanned, and meaningful tokens are generated. This is followed by Syntax Analysis (Parsing), where the structure of the program is verified based on the language’s grammar. Next comes Semantic Analysis, which ensures logical correctness by validating data types, variable declarations, and function usage.  

After semantic verification, the compiler proceeds to Intermediate Code Generation, where an abstract representation of the code is created. This is followed by Code Optimization, a crucial step to enhance performance by eliminating redundancies and improving execution speed. Finally, in Code Generation, optimized instructions are converted into machine code. Additionally, throughout the process, Symbol Table Management keeps track of identifiers, while Error Handling detects and reports errors at various stages.  

Through this seminar, we aimed to present these concepts in a structured and easy-to-understand manner, helping our audience grasp the importance of each compilation stage. Compiler design is a vital aspect of programming language development, and understanding it provides deeper insights into how code is executed efficiently. We hope this blog serves as a valuable resource for anyone looking to explore the fundamentals of compiler construction.
