One should also note that some code that works on some architecture with one compiler, might break if we use a different compiler, or a different system, to compile the code on. When developing on the first system, we'll never see these bugs, but when moving the code to a different platform, the bug will suddenly appear. Also, in many cases we eventually will want to move the code to a new system, even if we had no such intentions initially.
Note that sometimes '-Wall' will give you too many errors, and then you could try to use some less verbose warning level. Read the compiler's manual to learn about the various '-W' options, and use those that would give you the greatest benefit.
Initially they might sound too strange to make any sense, but if you are or when you will become a more experienced programmer, you will learn which could be of good use to you. So you learned how to compile a single-source program properly hopefully by now you played a little with the compiler and tried out a few examples of your own. Yet, sooner or later you'll see that having all the source in a single file is rather limiting, for several reasons: As the file grows, compilation time tends to grow, and for each little change, the whole program has to be re-compiled.
It is very hard, if not impossible, that several people will work on the same project together in this manner. Managing your code becomes harder. Backing out erroneous changes becomes nearly impossible. There are two possible ways to compile a multi-source C program. The first is to use a single command line to compile all the files. Suppose that we have a program whose source is found in files "main. We could compile it this way: cc main. Two comments about this program: If we define a function or a variable in one file, and try to access them from a second file, we need to declare them as external symbols in that second file.
This is done using the C "extern" keyword. The order of presenting the source files on the command line may be altered. The compiler actually, the linker will know how to take the relevant code from each file into the final program, even if the first source file tries to use a function defined in the second or third source file. The problem with this way of compilation is that even if we only make a change in one of the source files, all of them will be re-compiled when we run the compiler again.
In order to overcome this limitation, we could divide the compilation process into two phases - compiling, and linking. Lets first see how this is done, and then explain: cc -c main.
It is the "-c" flag that tells the compiler only to create an object file, and not to generate a final executable file just yet. The object file contains the code for the source file in machine language, but with some unresolved symbols.
For example, the "main. Surely we cannot run the code like that. Thus, after creating the 3 object files, we use the 4th command to link the 3 object files into one program. Further more, the linker also links the standard C library into the program, in this case, to resolve the "printf" symbol properly. To see why this complexity actually helps us, we should note that normally the link phase is much faster than the compilation phase.
This is especially true when doing optimizations, since that step is done before linking. Now, lets assume we change the source file "a.
We'll only need now two commands: cc -c a. Now that we've learned that compilation is not just a simple process, lets try to see what is the complete list of steps taken by the compiler in order to compile a C program.
Driver - what we invoked as "cc". This is actually the "engine", that drives the whole set of tools the compiler is made of. We invoke it, and it begins to invoke the other tools one by one, passing the output of each tool as an input to the next tool. C Pre-Processor - normally called "cpp".
It takes a C source file, and handles all the pre-processor definitions include files, define macros, conditional source code inclusion with ifdef, etc. Originally Posted by baigmd.

I think your web site removes Here it is in parenthesis studio. Your web site removes angle brackets, aka diamond brackets, aka cone brackets or aka chevrons. I had to look that up too. By the way, I am using Firefox 3. Perhaps other web browsers will show the angle brackets. You all are right. Please help! Hey guys!!
