I'll bet you didn't _quote_ them. You paraphrased them. I don't know of anyone that talks about multiple passes over the _source_ code. But every compiler makes multiple passes. One hint might be to consider the pre-processor. That is a pass over the original source, before the compiler ever gets a chance to do anything. It makes a pass over that modified source, produces an intermediate file, and then makes yet another pass over that. Then the linker makes a final pass over that result..
