Line 1: {{Use dmy dates\|date=August 2020}} '''Source-code compatibility''' (source-compatible) means that a program can run on [[central processing unit\|computers]] (or [[operating ~~systems~~system]]s), independently of [[binary-code compatibility]] and that the [[source code]] is needed for [[Software portability\|portability]].<ref name="Baron Higbie 1992" /> The source code must be [[compiler\|compiled]] before running, unless the computer used has an [[Interpreter (computing)\|interpreter]] for the language at hand.<ref name="Data Processing Digest 1980" /> The term is also used for [[assembly language]] compatibility, where the source is a [[human-readable]] form of [[machine code]] that must be converted into numerical (i.e. executable) machine code by an [[Assembly language#Assembler\|assembler]]. This is different from [[binary-code compatibility]], where no recompilation (or assembly) is needed.<ref name="Stern Monti Bachmann 1998" />
