Hi
I am coming from Java. What is the purpose of an object file &
why is it generated at compile time in addition to an
executable. I know C generates an object file too, but I don't
know what the use is.
Please point me to any detailed documentation u may have
regarding object files.
Also does D have any facilities for dynamic code generation &
compilation ?
Thankyou
Sincerely
Venkat
It's not D-specific, every compiler for a compiled language
produces objects:
