The compiler is just one element in a programmer's software workshop. The compiler can render other services such as debugging, profiling, serving as a build engine, ensuring dependability, or enabling cross-compilation.
7.1 Debugger
The compiler can generate information in the binary code that will be used by debugging tools such as GDB . This information is used to link the binary instructions to the lines of code in the source program.
For example, to compile a program in the file Application .c, use the command
gcc -g -o Application Application.c
