Most computer code compilers are at risk of ‘Trojan source’ attacks in which adversaries can introduce targeted vulnerabilities into any software without being detected, according to researchers from ...

We don’t know what normal people argue about, but we know we spend a lot of time arguing about the best microcontroller, which editor is the best, and what language or compiler does the best job. The ...

Though you can write "C" code in Notepad, you must have a C compiler, such as the compiler included with the Microsoft Visual Studio development suite, to compile the code. To write a C code file in ...

The xcc700 is a very small, lightweight C compiler designed specifically for the ESP32 microcontroller. It is like a mini ...

Virtually all compilers — programs that transform human-readable source code into computer-executable machine code — are vulnerable to an insidious attack in which an adversary can introduce targeted ...

The old RLO trick of exploiting how Unicode handles script ordering and a related homoglyph attack can imperceptibly switch the real name of malware. Researchers have found a new way to encode ...

Compilers: can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em – at least not if you write code for a living. Compilers are great at taking your hand crafted human-readable program, translating it into ...

Compilers are a bit like Florida election officials: They’re suddenly in the spotlight after years of relative anonymity. The reason for the attention is the arrival of fast and complex 64-bit ...

Java compilers take center stage in this second article in the JVM performance optimization series. Eva Andreasson introduces the different breeds of compiler and compares performance results from ...

Java famously runs on billions of devices, including workstations, desktops, tablets, supercomputers, and jewelry. Yes, jewelry. Look it up. [Michael] realized Java doesn’t run on Commodore 64s, ...
