Test: The Compilation Process - 2 - Computer Science Engineering (CSE) MCQ

Explanation: The #include is a header file which defines the standard constants, variable types, and many other functions. This can also include some standard libraries.

Explanation: The cc is the standard C compiler used in the UNIX system. Its command lines can be pre-processed, compiled, assembled and linked to create an executable file.

Explanation: There are several options for the compilers. The option -c compiles the linking stage and then leaves the object file. This option is used to compile programs to form a part of the library.

Explanation: The -p instructs the compiler to produce codes which count the number of times each routine is called and this is useful for finding the processing time of the programs.

Explanation: The -g generates the symbolic debug information for the debuggers. Without this, the debugger cannot print the variable values, it can only work at the assembler level. The symbolic information is passed through the compilation process and stored in the executable file.

Explanation: The linker is also known as a loader. It can take the object file and searches the library files to find the routine it calls.

Explanation: The linker can give the final control to the programmer concerning how unresolved references are reconciled, where the sections are located in the memory, which routines are used, and so on.

Explanation: The option -o puts the assembler into the file obj file, -V can write the assembler’s version number on the standard error output, -m runs the macro preprocessor on the source file and -n turns off the long or short address optimization.
