Compilers
Compilers are programs that
- convert program source code to executable form
- "executable" might be machine code or bytecode
The Gnu C compiler (gcc)
- applies source-to-source transformation (pre-processor)
- compiles source code to produce object files
- links object files and libraries to produce executables
