← Language & CommunicationA compiler translates source code with complex nested expressions. If resource limits are exceeded during syntactic analysis, which consequence follows?
A)Semantic analysis becomes more efficient
B)Code optimization algorithms spontaneously improve
C)The compilation generates a 'best-effort' executable
D)Stack overflow halts syntactic parsing✓
💡 Explanation
Syntactic parsing relies on recursion to analyze nested structures. A stack overflow occurs because the recursion depth exceeds the stack's capacity; therefore, parsing halts rather than proceeding with subsequent phases or creating a partial executable.
