Could someone direct me to the area of gcc source code that deals with
outputing the actual binary code. For example, the source code that
outputs an "e8" for a "call" instruction. Ive been trying to trace
through the code, but everything I keep finding leads to stuff that is
still outputing strings like "call".
gcc does not output binary. It creates an assembly code output file
(.s) which is then
run through an assembler to produce binary.
