Answer 1

@A.Avinash_Goutham

excerpt from gcc man (much more from console):

-g
Produce debugging information in the operating system's native
format (stabs, COFF, XCOFF, or DWARF 2). GDB can work with this
debugging information.
-O0
Reduce compilation time and make debugging produce the expected
results. This is the default.
-Wall
This enables all the warnings about constructions that some users
consider questionable, and that are easy to avoid (or modify to
prevent the warning), even in conjunction with macros. This also
enables some language-specific warnings described in C++ Dialect
Options and Objective-C and Objective-C++ Dialect Options.
file.c
C source code which must be preprocessed
-o file
Place output in file file. This applies regardless to whatever
sort of output is being produced, whether it be an executable file,
an object file, an assembler file or preprocessed C code.

If -o is not specified, the default is to put an executable file in
a.out, the object file for source.suffix in source.o, its assembler
file in source.s, a precompiled header file in source.suffix.gch,
and all preprocessed C source on standard output.
