Generated code

As noted in the previous chapter, older Free Pascalcompilers relied on the GNU assembler to make object files. The compiler only generated an assembly language file which was then passed on to the assembler. In the following two sections, we discuss what is generated when you compile a unit or a program.

1. UnitsWhen you compile a unit, the Free Pascalcompiler generates 2 files: A unit description file. An assembly language file. The assembly language file contains the
2. ProgramsWhen you compile a program, the compiler produces again 2 files: An assembly language file containing the statements of your program, and memory allocations for
