Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers creating executable for every C file Post 302138152 by porter on Saturday 29th of September 2007 03:41:36 PM

I may be missing the point on your question but C is a compiled language.

To run it you have to:

(a) compile the C source into object files
(b) link the object files with libraries to produce the executable

once you have done that you can run the executable as many times as you like, and you can call it whatever name you like.

It is also compiled specific to the computer's architecture, so you can't expect 386 code to run natively on an UltraSparc. Similarly it is operating system dependent.

NAME
ocamldebug - the Objective Caml source-level replay debugger. SYNOPSIS
ocamldebug [ options ] program [ arguments ] DESCRIPTION
ocamldebug is the Objective Caml source-level replay debugger. Before the debugger can be used, the program must be compiled and linked with the -g option: all .cmo and .cma files that are part of the program should have been created with ocamlc -g, and they must be linked together with ocamlc -g. Compiling with -g entails no penalty on the running time of programs: object files and bytecode executable files are bigger and take longer to produce, but the executable files run at exactly the same speed as if they had been compiled without -g. OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see the html documentation in the ocaml-doc package. -c count Set the maximum number of simultaneously live checkpoints to count. -cd dir Run the debugger program from the working directory dir, instead of the current working directory. (See also the cd command.) -emacs Tell the debugger it is executed under Emacs. (See The Objective Caml user's manual for information on how to run the debugger under Emacs.) -I directory Add directory to the list of directories searched for source files and compiled files. (See also the directory command.) -s socket Use socket for communicating with the debugged program. See the description of the command set socket in The Objective Caml user's manual for the format of socket. -version Print version string and exit. -vnum Print short version number and exit. -help or --help Display a short usage summary and exit.
