Описание тега toolchain

A toolchain is a collection of software tools that work together to build and manage programs.

A toolchain is a collection of tools used to build and manage programs; the tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next (hence the name: "toolchain"). The tools work together, observing a common ABI to accomplish the following tasks (typically):

  • Assembly
  • Compilation of C or other languages to object form
  • Linking objects into libraries and executables
  • Debugging, profiling
  • Analysis of objects, libraries and executables (e.g. nm, objdump)
