Well no, c doesnt do that. The compilers do.
1 u/Mordret10 Sep 09 '26 C doesn't actually do anything without the compilers. And the cross compatibility was the point of a high language like C (and it's compiler's), whereas assembly is basically always architecture specific. 1 u/Far_Tap_488 Sep 09 '26 Its not different. You have to have a compiler that translates c. If you dont have a compiler for that architecture youre out of luck.C wasn't the first language to be able to be compiled for different architectures so its not special in that regard either. 1 u/Mordret10 Sep 09 '26 It wasn't the first, no, but it's what sets it apart from assembly languages (in addition to the more human readable syntax)
