  1. The Development Process Compilation

  2. Programming Process Problem Solving Phase We will spend significant time on this next week. • Implementation Phase • Create a concrete solution • Test your solution • Fix errors, add features, and test again. Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  3. Developing Programs in High-Level Languages Editor Source File Compiler Object File Other Object Files Executable Linker Loader Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  4. Terminology • Source file • Text file containing computer program • Compiler • Program that translates high-level languages to machine language • Object file • Machine language file generate by compiler Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  5. Terminology • Standard library • Object file containing standard features of high-level languages • Linker • Program that combines several object files and standard libraries into an executable • Executable • A file containing the machine code that will run in an operating system (e.g., Windows) Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  6. Terminology • Loader • A part of an operating system that places an executable into memory and starts its execution Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  7. Integrated Development Environments (IDE) • Integrated set of development tools • Editor, compiler, and linker are in one inclusive environment • Usually tuned for a specific high-level language • Details of development are hidden but still occur • Visual C++ is an IDE supporting C++ Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  8. Visual C++ Terminology • A project is a collection of source files, object files, and executables generated during development. • Usually stored in a single directory called the project location • Your projects in this course will contain only one source file Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  9. Visual C++ Project Types • Win32 Console Application • DOS Command Window • Text-only input/output • Win32 Application • Graphical applications • Windows, buttons, etc. Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble

  10. Visual C++ Input and Output Files • Input files expected by your programs must be stored in the project location directory. • Programs fail to run if the input files are not found • Do NOT put input files in the Debug directory • Output files are generated in the project location directory. Compilation - Dr. Craig A. Struble
