To open a file, either use open or drag the file into the text editor. There is a quite old Unix editor called vi. To use vi to edit file foo. You are on your own to learn how to use this editor. Command man vi will show a manual on using vi.
An alternative is emacs. Emacs is a large, versatile and extensible text editor. It has many options, and you can create your own commands as well. You can also have several files open at once and run a terminal from within emacs, which is convenient for using ssh. To use emacs to edit file foo. To learn how to use emacs, see using emacs. Typing a tab indents the current line. Also, when you type a right brace, it shows you the matching left brace, a feature that is very useful for keeping braces matching correctly.
It might be, thought that something went wrong, and the permissions are set differently. Now we'll surely be able to run our program. Again, normally you'll have no problem running the file, but if you copy it to a different directory, or transfer it to a different computer over the network, it might loose its original permissions, and thus you'll need to set them properly, as shown above.
Note too that you cannot just move the file to a different computer an expect it to run - it has to be a computer with a matching operating system to understand the executable file format , and matching CPU architecture to understand the machine-language code that the executable file contains. Finally, the run-time environment has to match.
For example, if we compiled the program on an operating system with one version of the standard C library, and we try to run it on a version with an incompatible standard C library, the program might crush, or complain that it cannot find the relevant C library.
This is especially true for systems that evolve quickly e. Linux with libc5 vs. Linux with libc6 , so beware. Normally, when we write a program, we want to be able to debug it - that is, test it using a debugger that allows running it step by step, setting a break point before a given command is executed, looking at contents of variables during program execution, and so on.
In order for the debugger to be able to relate between the executable program and the original source code, we need to tell the compiler to insert information to the resulting executable program that'll help the debugger. This information is called "debug information". You will note that the resulting file is much larger than that created without usage of the '-g' flag. The difference in size is due to the debug information. This is because even a program compiled without the '-g' flag contains some symbol information function names, for instance , that the strip command removes.
You may want to read strip 's manual page man strip to understand more about what this command does. After we created a program and debugged it properly, we normally want it to compile into an efficient code, and the resulting file to be as small as possible.
The compiler can help us by optimizing the code, either for speed to run faster , or for space to occupy a smaller space , or some combination of the two. This also means the compilation will take longer, as the compiler tries to apply various optimization algorithms to the code. This optimization is supposed to be conservative, in that it ensures us the code will still perform the same functionality as it did when compiled without optimization well, unless there are bugs in our compiler.
Usually can define an optimization level by adding a number to the '-O' flag. The higher the number - the better optimized the resulting program will be, and the slower the compiler will complete the compilation. One should note that because optimization alters the code in various ways, as we increase the optimization level of the code, the chances are higher that an improper optimization will actually alter our code, as some of them tend to be non-conservative, or are simply rather complex, and contain bugs.
For example, for a long time it was known that using a compilation level higher than 2 or was it higher than 3? If you'll read your compiler's manual page, you'll soon notice that it supports an almost infinite number of command line options dealing with optimization.
Using them properly requires thorough understanding of compilation theory and source code optimization theory, or you might damage your resulting code.
A good compilation theory course preferably based on "the Dragon Book" by Aho, Sethi and Ulman could do you good. Normally the compiler only generates error messages about erroneous code that does not comply with the C standard, and warnings about things that usually tend to cause errors during runtime. However, we can usually instruct the compiler to give us even more warnings, which is useful to improve the quality of our source code, and to expose bugs that will really bug us later. Can you explain it with a simple example?
You can either execute the a. Tagged as: a. It expects some header file. The one we probably want is stdio. I tested your c program which did not compile. I think your web site removes Here it is in parenthesis studio.
Your web site removes angle brackets, aka diamond brackets, aka cone brackets or aka chevrons. I had to look that up too. By the way, I am using Firefox 3. Hi, How to precompile the c program which has proc statements within it. If it is only c, I will use the following cmd Code :. Join Date: Oct First generate the. Code :. Difference between inbuilt suid programs and user defined root suid programs under bash shell?
Hey guys, Suppose i run passwd via bash shell. It is a suid program, which temporarily runs as root owner and modifies the user entries. However, when i write a C file and give permission and root ownership to the 'a. I verified this by Compiling gcc to compile make to compile yaboot. I now need to install a bootloader so that my computer can recognize the OpenBSD partition at startup. I have been trying to install Are the programs written on schedulers ,thread library , process management, memory management, et al called systems programs?
How are they different from the programs that implement functions like open , printf , scanf , read..
