In computer programming, machine code is computer code consisting of machine language instructions, which are used to control a computer's central processing...

A machine code monitor (a.k.a. machine language monitor) is software that allows a user to enter commands to view and change memory locations on a computer...

programming, a P-code machine (portable code machine) is a virtual machine designed to execute P-code, the assembly language or machine code of a hypothetical...

human readable source code to control the behavior of a computer. Since a computer, at base, only understands machine code, source code must be translated...

programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language or symbolic machine code), often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM...

programming languages that are more easily intelligible to humans than machine code, which is directly executed by the central processing unit. Proficient...

running the same machine code, so that a lower-performance, lower-cost machine can be replaced with a higher-cost, higher-performance machine without having...

the same code to run cross-platform, on different devices. Bytecode may often be either directly executed on a virtual machine (a p-code machine, i.e.,...

script code into a server-side application. Other approaches must be taken, however, when dealing with injections of user code on a user-operated machine, which...

In computer science, self-modifying code (SMC or SMoC) is code that alters its own instructions while it is executing – usually to reduce the instruction...

source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language (e.g. assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create...

are delivered to a CNC machine in the form of a sequential program of machine control instructions such as G-code and M-code, and then executed. The...

source code is exactly equivalent to its own output. Metamorphic code also usually outputs machine code and not its own source code. Metamorphic code is used...

is called source code. Source code needs another computer program to execute because computers can only execute their native machine instructions. Therefore...

programming instructions written in human convenient form into machine language codes that the computers understand and process. It is a generic term...

The machine's code was cracked by Poland, France, the United Kingdom and the United States; the latter code-named it INDIGO. An Enigma T model, code-named...

generate code in that form or be implemented in that form themselves. The code may be processed by an interpreter or it may simply be a sequence of machine code...

translation to machine code, which is then executed directly. A system implementing a JIT compiler typically continuously analyses the code being executed...

usually a machine code language (i.e., binary) or an intermediate language such as register transfer language (RTL). The term indicates that the code is the...

so a rich set of operations can be computed. In stack machine code (sometimes called p-code), instructions will frequently have only an opcode commanding...

compiled into a machine language program. An interpreter generally uses one of the following strategies for program execution: Parse the source code and perform...

In computing, position-independent code (PIC) or position-independent executable (PIE) is a body of machine code that executes properly regardless of...

Snippet is a programming term for a small region of re-usable source code, machine code, or text. Ordinarily, these are formally defined operative units to...

known as its machine code.[page needed] It consists of a set of hardware-level instructions that implement the higher-level machine code instructions...

executable machine code file or a non-executable machine code – object file of some sort; the equivalent process on assembly language source code is called...

file that contains machine code or bytecode, as well as other data and metadata, generated by a compiler or assembler from source code during the compilation...

description and target code generation. A notable 1966 example was the O-code machine, a virtual machine that executes O-code (object code) emitted by the front...

any internal optimization of the Java virtual machine instructions (their translation into machine code) are not specified. The main reason for this omission...

intermediate representation of source code is converted into a form (e.g., machine code) that can be readily executed by the target system. Sophisticated compilers...

code bloat is the production of program code (source code or machine code) that is unnecessarily long, slow, or otherwise wasteful of resources. Code...
