Abstract

A compiler 134 for compiling a first computer program 110 written in a first computer programming language into a second computer program written in a machine language, the compiler comprises a code generator to generate the second computer program by generating tables 142 and machine language code 144, the generated tables and the generated machine language code together forming the second computer program, wherein the generated machine language code references the tables and the generated machine language code does not contain arithmetic or logic machine instructions, the tables comprising pre-computed results of arithmetic and/or logic machine instructions.
