'''Semantic analysis''', alsoor '''context sensitive analysis''', is a process in [[compiler]] construction, usually after [[parsing]], to gather necessary semantic information from the [[source code]]. It usually includes [[type checking]], or makes sure a variable is declared before use which is impossible to describe in the [[Extendedextended Backus–Naur Formform]] and thus not easily detected during parsing.
