The source code must be Compiled before running, unless the device can work as an Interpreter (this is the case of a few Bytecode processors). Confusingly, sometimes the term is used for Assembly Language compatibility, where the source is already Human-readable Machine Code but must be converted to executable code by an Assembler . Source-compatibility is a major issue in the developing of computer programs. For example, most Unix systems are source compatible, as long as one uses only standard Libraries . Microsoft Windows systems are source compatible across one major family (NT, 2000, XP or 95, 98, ME), with partial source compatibility between the two families. SEE ALSO |
