Three-address code represents binary operations in the form 'result = operand1 operator operand2', which clearly indicates the result of the operation.

Three-address code typically allows for at most three operands: two source operands and one destination operand.

Intermediate code is generally easier to analyze than high-level code due to its simpler structure and reduced abstraction.

All of the listed techniques can be applied during the optimization phase of intermediate code generation to improve performance.

An abstract syntax tree (AST) provides a hierarchical representation of the program structure, making it easier to apply optimizations compared to linear representations.

Intermediate code generation creates a representation of the source code that is independent of the target machine, allowing for easier optimization and code generation.

The semantic analyzer checks for type correctness and gathers type information, which is crucial for generating valid intermediate code.

The output of the intermediate code generation phase is typically an intermediate representation that can be further optimized and translated into machine code.

Intermediate code is often generated from syntax trees, which represent the structure of the source code.

Using intermediate code allows a compiler to generate code for multiple target architectures from the same intermediate representation, enhancing portability.

Intermediate code allows for optimizations that are independent of the target machine, making it easier to optimize across different architectures.

Machine code is the final output of a compiler, while three-address code, abstract syntax trees, and bytecode are forms of intermediate code.

Dead code elimination is an optimization technique that can be applied to intermediate code to remove code that does not affect the program's output.

Intermediate code can be optimized before final code generation, allowing for better performance on the target architecture.
