    Your thought is correct. The basic problem is that higher level languages contain a lot of additional information that is lost in the compilation process.

      But do we need this information then? E.g. shouldn’t it be possible to just write what the assembler is doing as a c++ code?

      E.g. high level languages also support stuff like bitwise operators and so on.
