I want to know the important features of Intermediate Language? Someone provide a detailed answer on this.

[Ralph]

There are various features embedded with each of the different types of intermediate languages. CIL stands for C Intermediate Language is both lower-level than abstract-syntax trees, by clarifying ambiguous constructs and removing redundant ones, and also higher-level than typical intermediate languages designed for compilation, by maintaining types and a close relationship with the source program. The main feature of CIL is that it compiles all valid C programs into a few core constructs with a very clean semantics.

Another vital feature of CIL is it has a syntax-directed type system that makes it easy to analyze and manipulate C programs. Also CIL front-end is able to process not only ANSI-C programs but also those using Microsoft C or GNU C extensions.
