Complete Modern C++ - The C++ Compilation Process

The video tutorial explains the process of converting C source code into an executable, known as the build process. It covers the steps of preprocessing, where the preprocessor handles header files and macros, followed by compilation, where the compiler checks for syntax errors and generates object code. The linking step involves linking object code with libraries to create an executable. The video also demonstrates debugging syntax errors using Visual Studio. Finally, it concludes with a preview of the next topic on primitive types in C.

Describe the role of the linker in the build process.
