That isn't quite accurate.

On my Ubuntu system, "a.out" is the default output name for both "as"
(the assembler) and "ld" (the linker).  For "as", "a.out" is an object
file.  For "ld", "a.out" is an executable.

As far as I can tell, gcc never invokes "as" in a way that
produces an object file named "a.out", at least in normal usage.
"gcc hello.c" produces "a.exe", an executable.  "as hello.s" produces
"a.out", a non-executable object file.

gcc under Cygwin (a Unix-like emulation layer for Windows) does
produce "a.exe" as its default output file.  That "a.exe" is an
executable, named with a ".exe" suffix because Windows requires it.
If you invoke "as" directly on Cygwin, it produces a non-executable
object file named "a.out".  I see the same behavior with MSYS2.

And note also that as(1) was _never_ designed to be a interactive
assembler.    Amongst other things, as(1) provides no way to edit
the input interactively.

It's not like a BASIC or Python interpreter.

You're deflecting again.

It's not my product to fix; it should just work. Here's what happens 
when I type 'clang' in a console:

  https://github.com/bart-2026/langs/blob/main/clang.png

I had to use a screen shot to capture it. What do you think the error says?

Here's what happens when I type 'tcc':

   c:\c>tcc
   Tiny C Compiler 0.9.27 - Copyright (C) 2001-2006 Fabrice Bellard
   Usage: tcc [options...] [-o outfile] [-c] infile(s)...
          tcc [options...] -run infile [arguments...]
   General options:
    ...

And yet people look down their nose at it!

This is mine in action:

   c:\c>bcc
   BCC Compiler 7.x
   Usage:
       bcc    prog[.c]          Compile prog.c to prog.exe

       bcc -i prog[.c]          Compile prog.c and interpret
       bcc -help                Show all options

And yet Clang can't even display a fucking error message.

For the benefit of configure scripts?  And for symmetry?  I find
options like:

-print-search-dirs
-print-multiarch
...
-print-sysroot-headers-suffix

but the last one apparently does not work in normal install (even
for cross compilers), and the other seem to give no info about headers.

Some people need to write configure scripts.  I don't.  I neither know 
nor care what people might want in such configure scripts, but I feel 
confident that if this was actually something that people needed to do 
on a regular basis, either such a flag would have been added to gcc, or 
someone would have published a simple recipe or script for getting the 
information out of gcc.

What I wrote was that /I/ have never needed such a list of include 
paths.  And /I/ do not find it difficult to spot them from the output of 
"gcc -v -E empty.c".  Other people's experiences may vary.  Bart 
apparently regularly needs to get the include paths from his own 
compiler, that he wrote, which seems strange to me.

These options are about the way the compiler was configured when it was 
built.  The manual page is "primarily of interest to GCC developers".

It might look like these options are for showing include directory 
paths, but they are not.

The '-print-...' options appeared because people did not want to
hardcode assumptions or do convolved tests.  Having compiler print
info that it knows is much easier.  Lack of such option for
include files means that there was no _pressing_ need, but not
that there is no need at all.

Symmetry of options.  There are options to print various important
info, but one piece, that is default include path is currently
missing.

The options intended for use only by GCC developers are poorly named. 
Usually naming of that kind of thing is not a priority.  What is 
unusual, as I see it, is that they are documented in the user-oriented 
reference manual, rather than the internals manual.

"apt install libsdl2-dev", as I said.  Linux distributions with other 
package managers will have a very similar method.

Do you not understand the difference between using <> and "" in #include 
directives?  Roughly speaking (details are implementation-specific), 
using "SDL3/SDL.h" searches first the local directory and relative 
paths, and then moves on to system / toolchain include directories if 
that fails - using <SDL3/SDL.h> goes straight to the system / toolchain 
directories.

So if you have SDL headers installed as part of the system libraries, 
the <> form is appropriate - it also ensures that you are getting the 
system library versions and not accidentally getting a local file of the 
same name.  If you have the headers in your local directory (or in both 
places, but want the local version), use the "" form.

My gcc Windows installation (I went back to 14.2 as it includes clang), 
includes 3000 .h files. They can't all be for the standard library!

And 1200 .a archive files. So the approach there seems to be bundle 
headers and binaries for every possible library. But apparently not big 
ones like SDL.

So I guess, if I copied the SDL3 folder to the same location it keeps 
stdio.h, it would also work without "-I".

But only for this compiler, and not ideal when multiple headers are not 
tidily contained within their own folder.

Exactly, they are implementation-specific. Which can mean subtle 
differences in locating a file when already deep inside a nested header.

My compiler actually treats <> and "" the same. That would normally be 
troublesome as a rogue "stdio.h" in the current path would override the 
system header.

But my compiler's system headers are embedded, and it will look there 
first for /any/ input files. So that doesn't come up, unless I override 
that.

As you well know, there is no such thing as a standard "gcc Windows" 
installation - there are multiple different packagings of gcc with 
different choices of libraries and other tools.  I am not sure it is 
going to be very helpful if you say exactly which Windows gcc 
installation you have, but there can be huge variations between them.

First off, you can expect that you have C++ support as well as C support 
- and C++ has far more standard headers than C.  Many of these are named 
without ".h", but real-world C++ standard libraries implement them with 
countless ".h" files.  Looking inside the directories for the standard 
ARM gcc cross-toolchain package for embedded devices, version 15.2, I 
see 1880 header files of which 1205 are in C++ specific directories.

Then there are generally lots for extensions to the standard library - 
most C libraries have a fair bit more than the standard libraries. 
There are target-specific headers, processor-specific headers (for 
"intrinsic" functions), and often many headers that are included by 
several of the others to reduce duplication and maintenance.  There will 
be lots of OS-specific or "system" headers (for Linux, Windows, whatever).

Standard and additional libraries are often split into multiple parts. 
Traditionally, "libc.a" contains most functions, and "libm.a" contains 
the floating point libraries.  But there can be more splits, and 
additional libraries for other parts - a toolchain installation often 
includes many other things than just the standards-defined library.  And 
then for each set of static libraries, there can be a large number of 
builds optimised for different target variants, different choices of 
compiler flags (like optimisation, or debug support), and so on.  My 
cross-compiler toolchain has 780 ".a" files, for variants of about a 
dozen different ARM cores, each with perhaps 4 choices of floating point 
hardware support.

But a standard toolchain installation is not going to include SDL 
libraries and headers, unless it was for a platform that had that as a 
necessity.  If SDL was considered worthy for inclusion by standard, 
there would be a thousand other "worthy" libraries to include too.

I guess so.  But I would not do that unless it was controlled by some 
kind of package manager - keeping everything consistent and avoiding 
conflicts can be quite an effort.

You also don't need any "-I" flags if you used the more appropriate (for 
your setup) use of #include "SDL3/SDL.h" rather than the <> system 
include form.

It is also normal to have a common place for include files, like 
/usr/include and /usr/local/include.  There is no standard for this in 
Windows, but you might find at least that different versions of the same 
gcc Windows packages look in common directories.

Fortunately most (IME) libraries that have multiple headers /do/ keep 
them tidily in their own folder.

It's not /that/ difficult - I explained it in a single sentence.  And 
while it's "implementation-specific" according to the C standards, the 
same simple, basic system is used by virtually all C compilers, and 
virtually all C code.  Use "" for application-specific headers, and <> 
for toolchain and system-installed headers.

Well, you can always complain to that compiler's development team, and 
ask them to follow the norms.

If interested it was from winlibs.com. (The site looks like something 
from the 1990s but it has versions up 16.2.0.)

It's a bit more elaborate than that. Here are the inputs the algorithm 
might work with when it tries to find a new header file:

* Whether "" or <> is used

* Whether the file-spec is absolute or relative

* The ordered list of locations that it looks for system headers

* The set of include paths given via -I or equivalent options (I
   assume these are ordered too)

* The directory from where the compiler was invoked ('cwd')

* The directory (and possibly other locations relative to that) where
   the compiler binary lives

* The path of the main .c source file

* The current stack of nested include file locations, including
   that of the current include file

* (For mine at least) the set of embedded files within the compiler, and
   any further options that can alter the behaviour

I'd like to know what you would consider difficult! (Apparently, nothing.)

The algorithm has to decide how to use this information. However what is 
implied is that if it can't find the file in one location, it will try 
somewhere else, provided an absolute path was not used.

I have problem with that: if header file is accidentally deleted or 
renamed, it might find a header with the same name elsewhere, but it 
will now be the wrong one, or the wrong version.

(For this reason, the compiler for my language will only ever look in 
one place on disk for any file, even though the module scheme simplifies 
the process immensely.)

I just looked at winlibs.com.  WinLibs is a "standalone build of
GCC and MinGW-w64 for Windows".

You implied that those 3000 .h files were part of your gcc
installation.  In fact I'm nearly certain that most of them are
part of MinGW-w64, which winlibs.com describes as "a free and open
source C library for targetting Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platforms".

Why do you continue to pretend not to understand that?

No it doesn't.  As explained downthread, most of them are from
MinGW-w64, which is packaged along with gcc by WinLibs (winlibs.com).

They aren't -- and gcc doesn't provide (most of) the standard library
anyway.  The "gcc" package does provide some .h files, some for internal
use and some like stddef.h that are more closely tied to the compiler
than to the library implementation.

That's not "every possible library".

Obviously MinGW-w64 includes *some* libraries.  Obviously it doesn't
include the SDL library.  Obviously if you want to use SDL, you're
expected to install it separately.

While gcc does not provide a C standard library (as has been explained 
to Bart endlessly), the gcc team /do/ provide a C++ standard library. 
It is not part of the C compiler, but it is almost certainly also 
included in the "winlibs" package.  And while the user-facing headers in 
the C++ standard library are mostly without extension, most of the 
internal headers are ".h" files.  Thus a not insignificant part of those 
".h" files he has were provided by gcc rather than third parties, but 
are not part of the C standard library.

Good point.

I've said a number of times that "gcc" is a compiler, not a full C
implementation.  It's worth pointing out that the software package
called "gcc" (downloadable in source form from gcc.gnu.org) does
include some other software in addition to the compiler, including
a small part of the library implementation for C and a much larger
part of the library implementation for C++.

OS-specific installers can and often do break this up into multiple
installable packages.  For example, on Ubuntu and related systems,
the GNU compilers for various languages (C, C++, Fortran, Cobol,
Ada, et al) are in separate packages, as are the headers and code.

I have oversimplified this in the past.

Having said all that, it is absolutely not the case that the bulk
of the C standard library implementation is part of "gcc", however
much a certain poster here pretends to believe that it is.

Yes, we all know that 'gcc' is different. That seems to be its thing.

Anyone who installs a C compiler for Windows expects to get everything 
necessary to compile C programs that use the standard library, into an 
executable.

They couldn't care less how that is done, or whether, technically, the 
package they're using is a 'compiler', or 'compiler' plus other 
components. Or who or what provides the C library.

If they choose 'gcc', then the picture is more complicated, but the end 
result is the same: they can compile those same programs and it just works.

I've never understood what MingGW is about, and frankly don't care. 
Wherever you get gcc from, it always comes with some big bunch of stuff.

But I /can/ tell you exactly how my own C implementation for Windows 
works. It comprises these three files:

    bcc.exe        328KB
    windows.h      608KB
    aa6.exe        116KB

bcc is the main compiler that can directly write EXE/DLL/OBJ/ASM, or it 
can run programs directly as native code or by interpreting.

It incorporates the standard headers. windows.h is separate as it would 
have made bcc.exe three times the size.

For the C library it uses Windows' msvcrt.dll, dynamically linked (700KB).

(This 'bcc' version only supports one C input file at a time, as it 
shares a back-end with my other, whole-program compiler.

For multi-module C programs, bcc must generate ASM files which are 
assembled by aa6.exe into EXE etc. But 99% of bcc invocations are for 
single file programs.)

You're welcome to explain gcc in the same way. You don't need to list 
/all/ the constituent files!
