Assembly and linking are the last steps in the compilation process they turn a list of instructions into an image of the program's bits in memory. Loading actually puts the program in memory so that it can be executed.

The assembly language program defines the commands for assembling and linking a program. Assembly language programs can be assembled with the as command or the cc command. The -l flag of the as command produces a listing of an assembler language file.

Linking is the process in which references to "externally" defined objects (code and data) are processed so as to make them operational. Traditionally linking used to be performed as a task after basic translation of the user program files, and the output of this stage is a single executable program file.

Linking and Loading are utility programs that play an important role in the execution of a program. Linking intakes the object codes generated by the assembler and combines them to generate the executable module. On the other hand, the loading loads this executable module to the main memory for execution.

The difference between compiler and assembler is that a compiler is used to convert high-level programming language code into machine language code. On the other hand, an assembler converts assembly level language code into machine language code. Both these terms are relevant in context to program execution.

The main gcc commands: The gcc -E command preprocess only; do not compile, assemble or link. The gcc -S command compiles only; do not assemble or link. The gcc -c compiles and assembles, but do not link.

Linking is a process of collecting and maintaining piece of code and data into a single file. Linker also links a particular module into system library. It takes object modules from assembler as input and forms an executable file as output for the loader.

Compiler software helps boost the program's performance and translates the intermediate file to an assembly file. Assembler helps convert the assembly file into an object file containing machine-level code. Linker is used for linking the library file with the object file.
