Linux下Gcc 的编译过程

         在linux下开发难免会用到gcc编译,GCC(GNU Compiler Collection,GNU编译器套装),是由 GNU 开发的编程语言编译器。它是GNU编译器套装以GPL许可证所发行的自由软件,也是 GNU计划的关键部分。使用GCC编译程序时,编译过程可以被细分为四个阶段:
◆ 预处理(Pre-Processing)
◆ 编译(Compiling)
◆ 汇编(Assembling)
◆ 链接(Linking)

1、预处理 对源代码文件中的文件包含(include)、预编译语句(如宏定义define等)进行分析,编译选项为gcc -E *.c

#define DEBUG "debug"

int main()
{
  char *a = DEBUG;
  return 1;
}
经过上面的预处理后,可以看到DEBUG被替换成了预定义的内容

# 1 "hello.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "hello.c"



int main()
{
  char *a = "debug";
  return 1;
}
2、编译 调用cc1进行编译,使用gcc -S选项就可以生成汇编代码,这个阶段根据输入文件生成以.o为后缀的目标文件。生成的汇编代码如下:

        .file   "hello.c"
        .section        .rodata
.LC0:
        .string "debug"
        .text
.globl main
        .type   main, @function
main:
.LFB0:
        .cfi_startproc
        pushq   %rbp
        .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
        .cfi_offset 6, -16
        movq    %rsp, %rbp
        .cfi_def_cfa_register 6
        movq    $.LC0, -8(%rbp)
        movl    $1, %eax
        leave
        .cfi_def_cfa 7, 8
        ret
        .cfi_endproc
.LFE0:
        .size   main, .-main
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)"
        .section        .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
3、汇编  汇编过程是针对汇编语言的步骤,调用as进行工作,一般来讲,.S为后缀的汇编语言源代码文件和汇编、.s为后缀的汇编语言文件经过预编译和汇编之后都生成以.o为后缀的目标文件,此过程生成ELF格式的目标代码,使用gcc -c进行汇编

使用readelf -a hello.o可以看到详细的elf信息

4、链接 链接过程。生成可执行代码。链接分为两种,一种是静态链接,另外一种是动态链接。使用静态链接的好处是,依赖的动态链接库较少,对动态链接库的版本不会很敏感,具有较好的兼容性;缺点是生成的程序比较大。使用动态链接的好处是,生成的程序比较小,占用较少的内存。

gcc hello.o -o hello 就可以完成最后的链接操作并生成可执行文件,至于如何生成动态库和静态库,以及如何链接动态库和静态库,以后会再作介绍。
