Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. increase the chances of reusing the machine-independent code optimizer in other compilers
Explanation
A machine-independent intermediate representation lets the same front end/optimiser be reused with different back ends (retargeting).More Theory of Computation and Compilers questions
