GCC itself consists of a set of language specific "front-ends" which generate an abtract intermediate representation which gets fed to architecture specific "back-ends" -- which emit assembly language files if they don't invisibly invoke the native assembler to produce object files. And below that lies the linker which takes a list of object files and libraries and produces the end executable image. GCC tends to hide all those details as it is possible to provide command line options for compiler, assemble, and linker all as one command, rather than requiring the user to gcc file1.src gcc file2.src #compile only to assembly source as file1.s as file2.s #assemble to objects ln file1.o file2.o -llibx #link to executable (name taken from first) (said sequence having been common in the old days) -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
