To: gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-SW-Source: 2002-09/txt/msg00016.txt.bz2 I am trying to understand how the compiler driver and compiler proper go together, where and how are they linked? Looking under the C++ make fragment in the Makefile (lines 883-1190), I see that the compiler driver (g++) is built before the compiler proper (cc1plus), but I do not see how the driver is linked to the compiler proper. The compiler driver does include the object file g++spec.o, but I do not see how this would have any effect. I would appreciate any insight and links relevant to the subject. Thank you world, -Guy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com
