The scenario
A developer needs to visualize the end-to-end javac compilation process, showing how source code becomes bytecode and where errors are caught.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Introduced separate syntax and semantic error decisions to model early termination without mixing failure paths.
02
Used a symbol table datastore shared between semantic analysis and intermediate code generation to reflect real compiler behavior.
03
Compilation failure is a terminal sink distinct from the successful bytecode output, preserving a clear final state.
Use this diagram for compiler course material, tooling documentation, or onboarding engineers to understand javac internals.
