A computer program which has been translated into machine language by a compiler and assembler, but not yet linked into an executable program; sometimes called an obj file, because its file name typically has the extension "obj" .
Compiled source code which can be Linked together with other Object Files or Libraries to produce an executable or library. Object Files typically have an .o extension.
The file produced by an assembler in the translation of a source file. The object file contains the binary encoding of the instructions and information about global symbols. It must be combined with other object code modules to form executable code. Object files have the extension .OBJ.
a file that contains machine language code/data and is in a format that the linker program can use to then create an executable program
a sequence of encoded machine instructions and linker directives that is equivalent to the corresponding source module
The object file contains the output of a compiler or an assembler and the names and types of variables used in that source file which the object was created from. It also contains references to things which were referred to in the source file but which were not present, for example library functions and external variables. The object file is acted on by the linker.
The output from a linker which contains the executable code. Often contains the symbolic information required to give symbolic debugging in a simulator or emulator.
A filesystem-cached version of the Compiler's output for a single component source file.
(n.) A file containing machine-language code. An executable file.
A file (normally with the extension .OBJ) produced by assembling source code. It contains relocatable machine code. The linker combines object files with run-time and library code to create an executable file.
A file containing machine language instructions and data in a form that the linker can use to create an executable program.
A file containing machine code and data that has not yet been linked with other object files or libraries to become an executable image.
(1) A file that contains compiled code. (2) A member file in an object library. IBM. Object files end with the file extension .obj (OS/2, Windows) or .o (AIX). Contrast with source file.
A file containing object code; in particular, the output of a compiler or assembler. Most object files begin with a symbol table, which is followed by intermixed segments of code and data.
In computer science, object code, or an object file, is the representation of code that a compiler generates by processing a source code file. Object files contain compact code, often called "binaries". A linker is used to generate an executable or library by linking object files together.
