I meant the final executable result is (can be) generated from source
code by a single C compiler invocation. How this result is obtained in
detail, in how many passes, by how many related tools, is not so obvious
and of less interest to the user.

Nowadays dedicated managing tools are available, starting with (batch)
Make and a number of (interactive) Integrated Development Environments.
Here the compiler can be recognized as a source code translation part of
the system, not as the all-embracing process.
