Its not normally visible because 'cc' or 'gcc' is a micro-OS that runs the compilation modules (pre, c translator, ...) as required by the supplied arguments and options. Thus it *looks* like a single step, but really isn't. Some of the other compilers, e.g. Borland, may differ. > And yes, the compiler is a one-pass compiler.
