C- compiler

There are many compilers available for c and c++. You need to
download any one. Here, we are going to use Turbo C++
.

Compilation process in C

• The compilation process can be divided into four steps, i.e., Pre-processing,
Compiling, Assembling, .and Linking.

• The following are the phases through which our program passes before
being transformed into an executable form:

1. Preprocessor

2. Compiler

3. Assembler

4. Linker

Preprocessor .

• The source code is the code which is written in a text


editor and the source code file is given an extension ".c".

• This source code is first passed to the preprocessor, and


then the preprocessor expands this code.

• After expanding the code, the expanded code is passed to


the compiler.

Compiler
.
• The code which is expanded by the
preprocessor is passed to the compiler. The
compiler converts this code into assembly code.

• Or can say that the C compiler


we the pre-processed code into
converts
assembly code.

Assembler
.
• The assembly code is converted into object
code by using an assembler. The name of the
object file generated by the assembler is the same
as the source file.
• The extension of the object file in DOS is '.obj,'
and in UNIX, the extension is 'o'. If the name of
the source file is 'hello.c', then the name of the
object file would be 'hello.obj'.

Compilation process in c

Linker
.
• Mainly, all the programs written in C use library functions.

• These library functions are pre-compiled, and the object


code of these library files is stored with '.lib' (or '.a')
extension.

• Therefore, we conclude that the job of the linker is to link


the object code of our program with the object code of the
library files and other files.

Compilation process in c

Let's understand through an example.

hello.c .

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

printf("Hello javaTpoint");

return 0;
