5分钟理解编译系统
本文以一个C语言版的hello world例子阐述编译系统四个阶段的工作内容。源程序hello.c如下:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("hello world!\n"); }
作为一个精通各种语言的hello world的程序员,我相信你一定看得懂上面这段C代码。总所周知,像C语言这类的编译语言,都是将人类可读的源代码“编译”成机器能识别的“机器代码”,然后方能执行的。而我们通常所说的“编译”,实际上是指的是编译系统,一共包含4个阶段。即:预处理,编译,汇编,链接。而正是这四个阶段所需要的预处理器、编译器、汇编器、链接器构成了编译系统(compilation system)。下图是hello.c经过“编译”成为可执行的目标程序的过程示意图,接下来,将围绕此图阐述各个阶段的工作内容。
1. 预处理阶段
预处理器(cpp)根据以字符#号开头的命令,修改原始的c程序。比如hello.c中的第一行#include <stdio.h>命令告诉预处理器读取系统头文件stdio.h的内容,并把它直接插入到程序文本中,结果得到了另一个C程序,通常是以.i为扩展名。在Linux下我们用GCC命令:
gcc -E hello.c -o hello.i
得到一个hello.i文件,然后查看文件内容如下:

841 }
该程序依然是C语言程序,只不过多了头文件stdio.h的内容。
2. 编译阶段
编译器(ccl)将文本文件hello.i翻译成文本文件hello.s,它包含一个汇编语言程序。汇编语言中每条语句都以一种标准的文本格式确切地描述了一条低级机器语言指令。其实汇编语言是非常有用的,它为所有的高级语言提供了一种通用的输出语言。比如C编译器和Fortran编译器产生的输出文件用的都是一样的汇编语言。在Linux下,我们用命令:
gcc -S hello.i -o hello.s
得到一个hello.s汇编程序,内容如下:
![](https://images.cnblogs.com/OutliningIndicators/ContractedBlock.gif)
.file "hello.c" .section .rodata .LC0: .string "hello world!" .text .globl main .type main, @function main: .LFB0: .cfi_startproc pushq %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 .cfi_offset 6, -16 movq %rsp, %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_register 6 movl $.LC0, %edi call puts popq %rbp .cfi_def_cfa 7, 8 ret .cfi_endproc .LFE0: .size main, .-main .ident "GCC: (GNU) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)" .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
3. 汇编阶段
汇编器(as)将hello.s翻译成机器语言指令,把这些指令打包成一种叫做可定位目标程序的格式,并将结果保存在目标文件hello.o中,hello.o是一个二进制文件,它的字节编码是“机器语言指令”而不是“字符”,所以,我们用文本编辑器打开hello.o文件看到是回事一堆乱码。使用gcc命令:
gcc -c hello.s -o hello.o
将得到hello.o文件,用vim打开看一下是如下乱码:
4. 链接阶段
我们注意到,hello.c中有一个printf函数,它是每个C编译器都会提供的标准库中的一个函数。printf函数存在于一个名为printf.o的单独的预编译好的目标文件中,而这个文件必须以某种方式合并到我们的hello.o程序中。链接器(ld)就是负责处理这种合并。最后得到hello文件,一个可执行目标文件(可执行文件),可被加载到内存中,由系统执行。使用命令:
gcc hello.o -o hello
得到hello文件,内容如下:
自此,编译系统的整个过程大致如此。总结一下,从源程序到目标文件(可执行文件)的转化是通过编译系统完成的,编译系统包含四个阶段:预处理,编译,汇编,链接。一般的编译驱动程序如GCC都实现了编译系统的所有功能,我们用编译驱动程序直接就可以实现源程序到目标文件的转化。
