MULTI-MODAL COMPILING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A HYBRID CODEFILE

摘要

A non-native, multi-modal compiler and an emulated computing environment for use in a native computing environment. The multi-modal compiler includes a parser configured to parse or divide received source code into a plurality of token elements, whereby at least one statement is recognized from a collection of token elements. The multi-modal compiler also includes a code emitter configured to emit machine code to implement the at least one statement, whereby the emitted machine code is compiled multi-modal object code that includes non-native operators (e.g., E-Mode operators) and NATV operators. The compiled multi-modal object code is configured in such a way that when translated by a code translation unit, the compiled multi-modal object code generates a merged codefile having translated native code segments corresponding to the non-native operators and native code segments corresponding to the NATV operators. The merged codefile is executable by a native processor in the native computing environment.
