c language compile

gcc命令其实依次执行了四步操作:1.预处理(Preprocessing), 2.编译(Compilation), 3.汇编(Assemble), 4.链接(Linking)。

How to compile in c language (detailed example)

为了下面步骤讲解的方便,我们需要一个稍微复杂一点的例子。假设我们自己定义了一个头文件mymath.h,实现一些自己的数学函数,并把具体实现放在mymath.c当中。然后写一个test.c程序使用这些函数。程序目录结构如下:

├── test.c
└── inc
    ├── mymath.h
    └── mymath.c
Copy after login

程序代码如下:

// test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "mymath.h"// 自定义头文件
int main(){
    int a = 2;
    int b = 3;
    int sum = add(a, b); 
    printf("a=%d, b=%d, a+b=%d\n", a, b, sum);
}
Copy after login

头文件定义:

// mymath.h
#ifndef MYMATH_H
#define MYMATH_H
int add(int a, int b);
int sum(int a, int b);
#endif
Copy after login

头文件实现:

// mymath.c
int add(int a, int b){
    return a+b;
}
int sub(int a, int b){
    return a-b;
}
Copy after login

1.预处理(Preprocessing)

预处理用于将所有的#include头文件以及宏定义替换成其真正的内容,预处理之后得到的仍然是文本文件,但文件体积会大很多。gcc的预处理是预处理器cpp来完成的,你可以通过如下命令对test.c进行预处理:

gcc -E -I./inc test.c -o test.i

或者直接调用cpp命令

$ cpp test.c -I./inc -o test.i

上述命令中-E是让编译器在预处理之后就退出,不进行后续编译过程;-I指定头文件目录,这里指定的是我们自定义的头文件目录;-o指定输出文件名。

经过预处理之后代码体积会大很多:

X 文件名 文件大小 代码行数

预处理前 test.c 146B 9

预处理后 test.i 17691B 857

预处理之后的程序还是文本,可以用文本编辑器打开。

2.编译(Compilation)

这里的编译不是指程序从源文件到二进制程序的全部过程,而是指将经过预处理之后的程序转换成特定汇编代码(assembly code)的过程。编译的指定如下:

$ gcc -S -I./inc test.c -o test.s

上述命令中-S让编译器在编译之后停止,不进行后续过程。编译过程完成后,将生成程序的汇编代码test.s,这也是文本文件,内容如下:

// test.c汇编之后的结果test.s
    .file   "test.c"
    .section    .rodata
.LC0:
    .string "a=%d, b=%d, a+b=%d\n"
    .text
    .globl  main
    .type   main, @function
main:
.LFB0:
    .cfi_startproc
    pushl   %ebp
    .cfi_def_cfa_offset 8
    .cfi_offset 5, -8
    movl    %esp, %ebp
    .cfi_def_cfa_register 5
    andl    $-16, %esp
    subl    $32, %esp
    movl    $2, 20(%esp)
    movl    $3, 24(%esp)
    movl    24(%esp), %eax
    movl    %eax, 4(%esp)
    movl    20(%esp), %eax
    movl    %eax, (%esp)
    call    add 
    movl    %eax, 28(%esp)
    movl    28(%esp), %eax
    movl    %eax, 12(%esp)
    movl    24(%esp), %eax
    movl    %eax, 8(%esp)
    movl    20(%esp), %eax
    movl    %eax, 4(%esp)
    movl    $.LC0, (%esp)
    call    printf
    leave
    .cfi_restore 5
    .cfi_def_cfa 4, 4
    ret 
    .cfi_endproc
.LFE0:
    .size   main, .-main
    .ident  "GCC: (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2"
    .section    .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
Copy after login

3.汇编(Assemble)

汇编过程将上一步的汇编代码转换成机器码(machine code),这一步产生的文件叫做目标文件,是二进制格式。gcc汇编过程通过as命令完成:

$ as test.s -o test.o

等价于:

gcc -c test.s -o test.o

这一步会为每一个源文件产生一个目标文件。因此mymath.c也需要产生一个mymath.o文件

4.链接(Linking)

链接过程将多个目标文以及所需的库文件(.so等)链接成最终的可执行文件(executable file)。

命令大致如下:

$ ld -o test.out test.o inc/mymath.o ...libraries...

结语

经过以上分析,我们发现编译过程并不像想象的那么简单,而是要经过预处理、编译、汇编、链接。尽管我们平时使用gcc命令的时候没有关心中间结果,但每次程序的编译都少不了这几个步骤。也不用为上述繁琐过程而烦恼,因为你仍然可以:

$ gcc hello.c # 编译

$ ./a.out # 执行

C language data structure: data representation and operation of trees and graphs C language data structure: data representation and operation of trees and graphs Apr 04, 2025 am 11:18 AM

C language data structure: The data representation of the tree and graph is a hierarchical data structure consisting of nodes. Each node contains a data element and a pointer to its child nodes. The binary tree is a special type of tree. Each node has at most two child nodes. The data represents structTreeNode{intdata;structTreeNode*left;structTreeNode*right;}; Operation creates a tree traversal tree (predecision, in-order, and later order) search tree insertion node deletes node graph is a collection of data structures, where elements are vertices, and they can be connected together through edges with right or unrighted data representing neighbors.

The truth behind the C language file operation problem The truth behind the C language file operation problem Apr 04, 2025 am 11:24 AM

The truth about file operation problems: file opening failed: insufficient permissions, wrong paths, and file occupied. Data writing failed: the buffer is full, the file is not writable, and the disk space is insufficient. Other FAQs: slow file traversal, incorrect text file encoding, and binary file reading errors.

C language multithreading programming guide: Creating threads: Use the pthread_create() function to specify thread ID, properties, and thread functions. Thread synchronization: Prevent data competition through mutexes, semaphores, and conditional variables. Practical case: Use multi-threading to calculate the Fibonacci number, assign tasks to multiple threads and synchronize the results. Troubleshooting: Solve problems such as program crashes, thread stop responses, and performance bottlenecks.

How to output a countdown in C language How to output a countdown in C language Apr 04, 2025 am 08:54 AM

How to output a countdown in C? Answer: Use loop statements. Steps: 1. Define the variable n and store the countdown number to output; 2. Use the while loop to continuously print n until n is less than 1; 3. In the loop body, print out the value of n; 4. At the end of the loop, subtract n by 1 to output the next smaller reciprocal.

Algorithms are the set of instructions to solve problems, and their execution speed and memory usage vary. In programming, many algorithms are based on data search and sorting. This article will introduce several data retrieval and sorting algorithms. Linear search assumes that there is an array [20,500,10,5,100,1,50] and needs to find the number 50. The linear search algorithm checks each element in the array one by one until the target value is found or the complete array is traversed. The algorithm flowchart is as follows: The pseudo-code for linear search is as follows: Check each element: If the target value is found: Return true Return false C language implementation: #include#includeintmain(void){i

C Language Data Structure: Overview of the Key Role of Data Structure in Artificial Intelligence In the field of artificial intelligence, data structures are crucial to processing large amounts of data. Data structures provide an effective way to organize and manage data, optimize algorithms and improve program efficiency. Common data structures Commonly used data structures in C language include: arrays: a set of consecutively stored data items with the same type. Structure: A data type that organizes different types of data together and gives them a name. Linked List: A linear data structure in which data items are connected together by pointers. Stack: Data structure that follows the last-in first-out (LIFO) principle. Queue: Data structure that follows the first-in first-out (FIFO) principle. Practical case: Adjacent table in graph theory is artificial intelligence

Troubleshooting tips for processing files in C language Troubleshooting tips for processing files in C language Apr 04, 2025 am 11:15 AM

Troubleshooting Tips for C language processing files When processing files in C language, you may encounter various problems. The following are common problems and corresponding solutions: Problem 1: Cannot open the file code: FILE*fp=fopen("myfile.txt","r");if(fp==NULL){//File opening failed} Reason: File path error File does not exist without file read permission Solution: Check the file path to ensure that the file has check file permission problem 2: File reading failed code: charbuffer[100];size_tread_bytes=fread(buffer,1,siz

The concept of c language functions and their definition format The concept of c language functions and their definition format Apr 03, 2025 pm 11:33 PM

C language functions are reusable code blocks, receive parameters for processing, and return results. It is similar to the Swiss Army Knife, powerful and requires careful use. Functions include elements such as defining formats, parameters, return values, and function bodies. Advanced usage includes function pointers, recursive functions, and callback functions. Common errors are type mismatch and forgetting to declare prototypes. Debugging skills include printing variables and using a debugger. Performance optimization uses inline functions. Function design should follow the principle of single responsibility. Proficiency in C language functions can significantly improve programming efficiency and code quality.
