There is no such thing in the C language, but it is true that operating systems have a component called loader which loads binary program-files (whose source may be written in C language) into the memory and prepares them to the execution.

Neither linker or loader is part of the C language, they are platform-dependent utility programs.

Linker (or binder) creates an executable from object modules and libraries; loader loads these executables into memory, resolves their shared-library-dependencies, and initiates their execution.

They are not part of the actual language, but of course they are important in programming.

What is the relationship between compiler interpreter loader and linker?

Compiler - Translates High level language (C, C++ etc.) and generates Object code (machine readable but not directly executable)Interpreter - Same as compiler but do that interactively (simply saying line by line). Interpreted languages don't usually require a linker, and employ a loading process different from that of a compiled program: the interpreter itself is linked and loaded like a compiled program (and in all probability is a compiled program), but the program interpreted by the interpreter is typically loaded through interpreter-specific means.Linker - Connects the compiler generated object code with library code to generated independent executable (like in C, you dont write how printf() works, linker add the code for printf() function in your program)Loader - Load the machine readable codes in memory to be executed. This step typically includes relocating the code output by the linker to a specific memory location into which the program was being loaded.


How do you build c plus plus programs using netbeans IDE?

Netbeans is primarily a code editor and Java compiler. Although it supports the C++ language, it has no C++ compiler or linker. For that you must provide your own.
