The complete compilation process in C/C++ can be split into four separate stages: Preprocessing Compilation Assembly Linking By using appropriate compiler options, we can stop this process at any stage. These options are passed as command line parameters. In the following examples, I will be using the C++ programming language to write the code and g++ compiler to compile it. [Read More]
