Semantic analysis is the phase following syntax analysis (parsing) in most compiler designs, where the compiler adds semantic information to the parse tree and checks for semantic consistency. It's during this phase that the compiler makes sure that the components of the program fit together meaningfully. After semantic analysis, the compiler is typically ready to proceed with generating intermediate code or optimized code, eventually leading to the final code generation.
