object code

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

The machine language representation of programming source code. Object code is created by a compiler and is then turned into executable code by the linker. This is an early term that has no relationship to object technology. See linker, executable code, machine language and object-oriented programming.


object code - The machine code generated by a source code language processor such as an assembler or compiler. A file of object code may be immediately executable or it may require linking with other object code files, e.g. libraries, to produce a complete executable program.
