- Subject: a question about gcc -v
-v Print (on standard error output) the commands executed to run the stages of
compilation. Also print the version number of the compiler driver program and
of the preprocessor and the compiler proper.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just copied 3 lines of GCC manual in the above. What is the compiler
driver program?
I have Linux, Fedora 12 and after executing the following command:
gcc -o my.o -v my.c
I got the following output on the screen. Which message is the version
of the preprocessor? Which message is the version of the compiler
proper? Which message is the version of the compiler driver program?
