DEFINITION

Classification: 395/707

Translation using an intermediate form or language:

(under subclass 705) Subject matter wherein at least two levels of code conversion are performed during the conversion of program code from an initial form to a target form.

(1) Note. For the purpose of this definition, it is not required that the program code in the target form be executable code.

(2) Note. Classification here is proper even if an intermediate form of the code is produced during a transitional process of code translation from the initial form to the target form. However, for the purpose of these definitions a symbol table generated by a multipass compiler is not considered to be an intermediate code form and is classified with compilers, per se.

(3) Note. Linkers are not found in this subclass. See search notes below.
