10 | <para>These are the C compiler. A compiler translates source code in
|
---|
11 | text format to a format that a computer understands. After a source code
|
---|
12 | file is compiled into an object file, a linker will create an executable
|
---|
13 | file from one or more of these compiler generated object files.</para></sect4>

|

26 | <para>cpp pre-processes a source file, such as including
|
---|
27 | the contents of header files into the source file. It's a good idea to
|
---|
28 | not do this manually to save a lot of time. Someone just inserts a line
|
---|
29 | like #include <filename>. The preprocessor inserts the
|
---|
30 | contents of that file into the source file. That's one of the things a
|
---|
31 | preprocessor does.</para></sect4>

|

56 | <para>libstdc++ is the C++ library. It is used by C++ programs and contains
|
---|
57 | functions that are frequently used in C++ programs. This way the
|
---|
58 | programmer doesn't have to write certain functions (such as writing a
|

59 | string of text to the screen) from scratch every time he creates a
|

60 | program.</para></sect4>
