Hello,


as you know, the source of gcc is quite complex, especially for someone who managed to go through their MS in Computer Science without taking a compiler class :)

Where in the sources is the file foobar.o opened for writing in

The foobar.o in your command-line is created by the assembler. Append '-###' tosee all programs invoked by the gcc driver. Seehttps://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebuggingGCC

It is possible that the assembler creates the .o file in some /tmp/ directory,then renames/moves it to the target directory.

There is a lot of useful info in https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStartedUnfortunately, it is badly organized. Any help in organizing it would beappreciated.


Cheers,

	Manuel.
