Macros are part of the preprocessor for the C/C++ languages which manipulates the source code before the actual translation to machine code. But there are risks when macros generate source code.

Find out how source code is compiled for different programming languages and computer architectures, including the evolution from FORTRAN to CLR and JIT compilers.

As a piece of C or C++ code gets bigger and bigger, it’s possible for even the most careful coder to make lots of memory mistakes, filling the software with bugs.

For instance, IBM contributed code to support its z/OS, Linux on Power (including support for IBM’s MASS vectorization library), and AIX architectures for LLVM’s C, C++, and Fortran projects.
