CS accounts
If you do not have a CS account, contact Jeff Knerr to get one set one up.

If you have not used Unix, you should attend one of the Using Unix sessions this week:

To do for Thursday
  1. Read the entire CS75 homepage
  2. Do this week's reading assignment
  3. Read through the following webpage, copy over the sample code from ~newhall/public/cs75/compilecycle, and try it out some of the tools mentioned on the webpage:
    The C compilation cycle
    (note: the purpose of this exercise is to demystify some of what a compiler does, and to show you that there are tools out there for examining files produced by the different stages of compilation and linking. I do not expect that you know x86 machine code, nor do I expect you to become knowledgeable users of these tools).
