Re: programming (not sure where to post this)
Generally, we use the term Autocoded to describe code written in a high-level language, converted to C, and then compiled from the C code.
It's usually done on embedded platforms, since it's usually easier to find a C compiler than to adapt the high-level tool's native compiler to work with the unique platform. Simulink works this way, LabVIEW does not (for NI hardware).
It has advantages and disadvantages to compiling directly from the starting language.
