Which compiler i used

[oubountou]

Hi all,

i have two compilers on my machine: gcc and cc (sun studio)
i have a compiled file. is there a way to see which compiler i have used to compile it?

Thanks in advance.

Try using readelf or objdump to dump the .comment section like this- readelf -x .comment a.out
objdump -s -j .comment foo.oAt least recent versions of gcc write their version information in that section. (But the section may be stripped out by the build of your compiled file.)

The second one worked great..
many Thanks!!
