Program:
const int b=1;
int c=2;
int main(){
int a;
char *sptr;
a=b+c;
}
When It complied using gcc compiler. It produces an executable file.When it runs in RAM (it is called as process),executable file will have
text or code part,data part,stack and heap. Sample executable format will be of form :
Text or Code Section
/*.text section (Contains executable code part ie. Machine language .Most OS
treats this code part as read-only section ) */
a=b+c;
|
Data part (global variables)
/*.data section Contains either all initialized Read-only data variables */
const int b=1;
/* or Contains all initialized Read-Write data variables)*/
int c=2;
/*.bss section(block started symbol- Contains all un- initialized data variables-It doesn’t
occupy any space. It’s is not available in binary image but exists in primary memory (RAM)
when the binary is loaded)*/
char * sptr;
|
Stack
/* Contains all Local variables */
int a;
|
Heap
/* Dynamically allocated memory created during malloc()*/
