Compilation Pipeline

Definitions

1. The ordered sequence of stages that transform source code into executable or deployable output, such as parsing, type checking, optimization, transpilation, linking, and packaging. Compilation pipelines are often composed of several tools, and failures can emerge at any stage depending on language and target.

   In plain English: The series of compilation steps that turn source code into runnable output.

   Example: "The Rust-to-WASM compilation pipeline added a post-processing step to strip debug symbols and reduce bundle size for production delivery."
