you need all these processes explained?

Answer 5

Preprocessing is the first pass of any C compilation. It processes include-files, conditional compilation instructions and macros.

Compilation is the second pass. It takes the output of the preprocessor, and the source code, and generates assembler source code.

Assembly is the third stage of compilation. It takes the assembly source code and produces an assembly listing with offsets. The assembler output is stored in an object file.

Linking is the final stage of compilation. It takes one or more object files or libraries as input and combines them to produce a single (usually executable) file. In doing so, it resolves references to external symbols, assigns final addresses to procedures/functions and variables, and revises code and data to reflect new addresses (a process called relocation).

Loading is the process where the executable file is loaded onto memory by the operating system.

Answer 6

After loading the file is ready to be executed by the machine.
