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!
