1.本机编译器：
本机编译器是为运行该平台的同一平台生成代码的编译器。它将高级语言转换为计算机的母语。例如Turbo C或GCC编译器
2.交叉编译器：
交叉编译器是一种编译器，可为除运行该编译器的平台以外的平台生成可执行代码。例如，在Linux / x86盒上运行的编译器正在构建将在单独的Arduino / ARM上运行的程序。
本机编译器和交叉编译器之间的区别：
| Native Compiler | Cross Compiler |
|---|---|
| Translates program for same hardware/platform/machine on it is running. | Translates program for different hardware/platform/machine other than the platform which it is running. |
| It is used to build programs for same system/machine & OS it is installed. | It is used to build programs for other system/machine like AVR/ARM. |
| It is dependent on System/machine and OS | It is independent of System/machine and OS |
| It can generate executable file like .exe | It can generate raw code .hex |
| TurboC or GCC is native Compiler. | Keil is a cross compiler. |
