I was just wondering if a C++ compiler is taking the source code and creating a binary file out of it with a .exe extension on it or something or does it translate it to assembly first and than assemble it from there. If it is binary I have always wondered how it is structured i mean im pretty sure it isnt just a file that in notepad looks like 10100100010101011 but is it possibly to actually write to machine code using fstream or w.e. Thanks in advance
