Section 6.7 Vocabulary
- header files:
- Files that contain declarations of functions and data types, which can be shared between multiple source files.
- c++ modules:
- A newer way to bundle related code and access it from other files.
- object files:
- Compiled code that is not yet linked into a complete program.
- function declaration:
- A statement that specifies the name, return type, and parameters of a function, but does not provide the function’s implementation.
- function definition:
- A statement that provides the implementation of a function, including the body of the function and the code that defines its behavior. (It also serves as a declaration.)
- separate compilation:
- The way C++ code is built. Each C++ source file is compiled independently, and the resulting object files are linked together to create the final executable.
- linking:
- The build step where compiled code (object files) are combined into an executable program.
