Template:assembler compiler
The assembler is the executable program that translates source code written in assembly language into an executable program or which produces an object module that can be passed to a program linker which then produces the executable program.
The FPC Pascal Compiler translates Pascal source code into assembly language which is then processed by the assembler. Some Pascal compilers directly generate executable programs or object modules.
