that doesn't go as deep as i'd like. actually, after i thought
about it a bit longer, i realized that i'd like a document that gets
into the details of gcc debugging and optimization in the sense of
actually *explaining* it. it's one thing to read the gcc manual to
see what options are available, but it's quite another to truly
understand what they all represent.
does such a document exist?
How about http://www.redhat.com/magazine/002dec04/features/gcc/
Sorry i was too quick in replying. On re-reading your mail i realized that you
weren't really looking for an high level overview of what gcc does.
Anyways, with regards to the debugging gcc and optimization you might find these
links useful:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/
http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/grc/gccdocs.html
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_C_Compiler_Internals
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/
and with regards to a document which explains the details of compiling "hello,
world", i've never really come across something like that (although I've
searched for it). Compilers are complex beasts and the gcc more so. GCC is after
all a compiler _collection_.
For just a usage reference, i guess books like these might help:
http://shop.fsf.org/product/using-gcc-gnu-compiler-collection-reference-manual/
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/gcc/intro/
I haven't read either of them tho' so I'm just guessing here.
cheers,
