Second generation languages are sometimes used in kernels and device drivers though C programming language C is generally employed for this in modern kernels , but more often find use in extremely intensive processing such as games, video editing, graphic manipulation rendering. One method for creating such code is by allowing a compiler to generate a machine optimized assembly language version of a particular function.
