Hello, as you know, the source of gcc is quite complex, especially for someone who managed to go through their MS in Computer Science without taking a compiler class :) Where in the sources is the file foobar.o opened for writing in
The foobar.o in your command-line is created by the assembler. Append '-###' to see all programs invoked by the gcc driver. See https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebuggingGCC
It is possible that the assembler creates the .o file in some /tmp/ directory, then renames/moves it to the target directory.
There is a lot of useful info in https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted Unfortunately, it is badly organized. Any help in organizing it would be appreciated.
