Gcc compiles stuff as a shared library instead of an executable












0















I am trying to compile this program in gcc, I type into my terminal gcc main.cpp -o corrupt -std=c++11 it compiles, I go to the file and it is a shared library instead of an executable.

          Does it run? I don't fully understand this myself (not having worked too much with C/C++), but on my system, lots of files are shared objects (like Neovim, tar, Firefox) but I can execute them. Maybe this is just how GCC does some things. So it might not be a problem.
