--- Comment #4 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Jamaika from comment #3) > I'm not referring to the GCC 11.3.1 comment itself. I meant why the .a file > automatically adds and compiles c files from the avx2 and sse2 directories > that I have not added. I have no idea and I suspect you did mention the object files. Since we have no idea the exact command lines being used either. Maybe there is an update to the archive file while inside the avx2/sse2 directories that adds those object files. Note if you are using make, you should look into the makefiles to see what is being done. you can use the -d option there. Also NOTE make is not part of the GCC project either, but than the GNU make project. > I was surprised that ar.exe is not a gcc product. Who is the creator? I mentioned it in my comment: "But first I should note ar is not part of GCC but rather in your case comes from the project called GNU binutils."
