The original, untranslated version of a program written in a highlevel language (such as FORTRAN, COBOL, or MACRO). A translator (assembler, compiler, or interpreter) is used to perform the mechanics of translating the source program into a machine language program that can be run on the computer. Source programs, when translated, produce object modules as their primary output. A program may exist as a source program, an object module, and a runnable core image.; 用一種高級語言(如FORTRAN,COBOL或MACRO) 編寫的一種未經(jīng)翻譯的程序。翻譯程序用以完成翻譯的機構(gòu),把源程序翻譯成在計算機上可以運行 的機器語言程序。源程序在被翻譯時,產(chǎn)生目標程序模塊作為其主要輸出。程序可以以源 程序、目標程序模塊和可以運行的內(nèi)存程序映象存在。
