Is c platform independent or dependent?

Answer 1

No. Not only will C source code have to be recompiled to work on different machines, but implementations of platform-specific concepts (file system management, UI, etc.) will have to be rewritten completely to work on a new machine.

Answer 2

Yes, there are several platform dependencies in the C language, such as sizeof(int), and the behavior of arithmetic in overflow situations. Then there is the platform dependencies based on the contents of header files.

if suppose it has 8086 processor so it is work according to 8086...means it is fully platform independent and C is always work in machine code so there is different different machine code for different OS...so the C is platform independent but java is based on byte codes that's why java is run on any OS....and any processor

Answer 3

Answer

No. C is not a platform independent language.

Answer

The language is platform-independent, the generated object/executable program is not. The standard libraries do have platform-dependent parts.

Answer

C is most certainly platform-dependent. The C specification contains numerous ambiguities and places where compiler and platform peculiarities cause differences in the code behavior.

For any example, look at any GNU program's code. There are plenty of #ifdef sections, which is the definition of platform-dependent.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. C is a platform-independent language because it can be compiled and run on different operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. So, like, you can write your C code once and run it on various platforms without having to worry about compatibility issues. It's pretty chill like that.

Answer 5

C-language is platform independent; the actual C-compiler, and the generated executable itself are platform-dependent.

Answer 6

ansi C is platform independent and does not provide any hardware functions. Hardware functions are found in non ansi library's usually provided by the compiler manufacturer.

Answer 7

Binary executable files are always platform-dependent.
