Confusion arises when your [Compiler] targets a VirtualMachine or other intermediate code. The common example is a [Java] class file. These aren't BinaryExecutable~s (because they're not directly executable), but they are compiled, and definitely in a [Binary] format, and you can execute the code with the help of the VirtualMachine. |
