Which compiler is used for converting assembly program to machine code?

assembler
A tool called “assembler” converts the assembly code into machine code and a tool called “linker” connects multiple machine-code files into one single executable (. EXE under Windows) file.

Does compiler convert to machine language?

A Compiler is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a machine level language to create an executable program….Difference between Compiler and Assembler:

Compiler	Assembler
It converts the whole code into machine language at a time.	But the Assembler can’t do this at once.

Do all compilers convert to assembly?

Related: Does a compiler always produce an assembly code? – no, big mainstream C compilers that provide a complete toolchain often go straight to machine code, especially ones (unlike GCC) that only target a few ISAs / object file formats.

Can you convert C code to assembly?

The gcc provides a great feature to get all intermediate outputs from a source code while executing. To get the assembler output we can use the option ‘-S’ for the gcc.

How is assembly language converted in to machine language?

Assembly language is converted in to machine language by assembler. Why would a compiler convert high-level language to assembly? Can’t it directly convert from the high-level language to machine code? Other reason for compilers to produce assembly rather than proper machine code are:

What is the difference between a compiler and assembler?

A compiler is the second layer of abstraction between MACHINE DEPENDENT SYMBOLIC CODE and MACHINE INDEPENDENT SYMBOLIC CODE. If a compiler directly converts code to binary code, by definition, it will be called assembler and not a compiler.

How does a compiler convert high level code to machine language?

A compiler does usually convert high-level code directly to machine language, but it can be built in a modular way so that one back-end emits machine code and the other assembly code (like GCC).

Is it possible to write machine code directly to an assembler?

Every compiler vendor is free to emit machine code directly. But there are a lot of good reasons to “write” an intermediate assembly and pass it to an assembler to generate the final executable file. Important is, that there is no need to really write a file to some kind of media, but the output can directly piped to the assembler itself.
