Please don't mindlessly revert the page:

  • "automatical" is not a word;
  • yacc is not generated by a compiler-compiler; it is a compiler-compiler itself. I could see it on a list of compiler-compilers on the compiler-compiler page but I don't see it worthy of special mention on this page.
  • JITs don't necessarily work from bytecode; in any event, this point should be discussed in just-in-time compiler.
  • A preprocessor is a simple compiler, but it is not a code generator.

-Eric

  • Never to fix spelling and grammatical errors.
  • I agree that yacc is a compiler-compiler; that should be an error. No need to remove the remark at all.
  • It is not strange to think JIT as a code generator as it generates code.
  • A preprocessor generates code.

If you don't want your edits to be mindlessly reverted, please don't erase text mindless in the first place. -- Taku 05:53, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

If nobody can justify keeping the product links at the end of the article, then I plan to remove them. There are just too many products that do code generation to allow for any reasonably short and neutral list here. There are ten pages of code generation products listed at http://www.codegeneration.net/generators.php, for example. Is there some non-arbitrary rationale for choosing a few? --Ds13 22:17, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
