A [Compiler] is a program to transform source code from one language to another. Commonly, the target language is MachineCode - either that of a "real" silicon [CPU] or of a VirtualMachine.

+A [Compiler] is often refered to by the name of it's executable. Thus on a Solaris platform, the Sun [C] [Compiler] is refered to as [CC], the [GNU] C Compiler is refered to as [GCC] and the Sun [Java] compiler as [javac].
[Compiler]s are usually built using, well, a [CompilerCompiler].
