Later C++ compilers produced object code files to feed directly ... high-level languages are increasingly compiled to byte code for a virtual machine, which is then interpreted and JIT-compiled.

Draw a hierarchical state machine. Run the OOSMOS code generator to generate C code into an OOSMOS object. Accepts hierarchical state machines drawn using the open source UML drawing package UMLet.

The assembler turns the assembly code (human readable machine code) to generate object code (machine code). For example, hello.s is assembled and hello.o is generated. as hello.s -o hello.o However, ...
