Task 2: Explaining the Role of the Linker and Loader and System Calls

Using a Linux terminal and a vi editor or any editor, write a very simple C++ program that displays: Laboratory Manual for CMPS 400 Operating Systems, save your program, and then use the steps in Figure 2.11 The role of the linker and loader of the textbook to compile, execute, link, and load the program you created. Remember, we went over this in class last Wednesday, February 17, 2021. You are required to provide screenshots of all the steps in this Task 2. Make sure that you show the result after executing each step in Figure 2.11. Finally, use the Linux strace command to trace system calls used to execute your program and show the full screenshot of the trace. Again, I showed you in class twice how to do this in Linux.

1. Provide below the screenshot of your C++ program in the editor you use.

2. Provide below the screenshots of ALL the steps used in Figure 2.11 to compile, execute, link, and load the program you created in Part a).
