##The C Language and Make tool Questions

1. How do you use `gcc` to only produce the `.o` file? What is the difference between generating only the `.o` file, and building the `hello` executable done in the previous compilation above?
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
-“gcc –g –O –c Hello.c“. The difference is that the object file is created by stopping at an earlier point in the compilation process than what is required when creating an executable.

1. Give the command for compiling with `debug` enabled instead of normal compilation for the two examples shown in Listing 2 and Listing 3. Explain how to turn debugging on/off for the two cases.
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
-Listing 2 requires debugging to be set in compilation mode, while listing 3 debugging has to be set during run-time. Listing 2 Debug on command: “gcc HelloWorld.c –DDEBUG –o HelloWorld”. Listing 2 debugging off command: “gcc HelloWorld.c –o HelloWorld”.

1. Give a brief pros and cons discussion for the two methods to add debug code shown in Listing 2 and Listing 3.
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- Listing 2 pros: You only have to declare the debugging symbol in compile mode once for it to work. Quick and easy. Listing 2 cons: not as flexible as debugging in runtime-mode, need to re-compile to remove debugging. Listing 3 pros: Very flexible since all the changes can be done during run-time without the need to re-compile. Listing 3 cons: A little bit more work to code it.

1. Provide the command for generating the *map* file. Which of the `gcc` tools is responsible for producing a *map* file?
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
-“gcc -o HelloWorld -Wl,-Map,HelloWorld.map HelloWorld.c” The –Wl and –Map tools create the file.

1. What is the content of each of the sections in a *map* file. Explain briefly.
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
Where objects are mapped into memory. How common symbols are allocated, all archive members included in the link , with a mention of the symbol, the values assigned to symbols.

1. Rewrite `hello.c` to produce entries in the *map* file for `.data`, `.bss`, and `.rodata`. Hint: This can be done by adding one variable for each type to the file.
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- File

1. Add the following function to `hello.c`: `double multiply(double x1, double x2)`, which returns `x1*x2`. Use `gcc` to generate an assembly code listing for the program, and examine the assembly code. What assembly instructions are used to do this? Repeat this task, but now replace `double` with `float`. Explain!
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- The command used to print the assembly code was: “gcc -O2 -S -c HelloWorld.c”. LFB12 - > .cfi_startproc -> mulss changes to mulsd when we changed the double to float.

1. How does `make` know if a file must be recompiled?
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- If the creation date of the executable is older than the creation date of the .c file, it knows it needs to re-compile.

1. Provide a `make` command to use a file named `mymakefile` instead of the default `makefile`.
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
-make -f mymakefile
1. How do you implement an *include guard*, and why is it needed?
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
-The include guard is used to avoid the problem of double inclusion.
