Just FYI, a.out stands for assembler.output file. The original UNIX was 
wriiten using an assembler, which produced a fixed output file named 
"a.out" to indicate that it was the one from assembler. Though no assembly 
needs to be done in modern compilers (linking and loading of object files 
is done now), that tradition continues and output of CC (gcc here) is 
by default a.out!
