Where is the generated C source file when you compile a program? #1084

I want to read that source. The file _m3main.cpp doesn't contain anything useful. I'm sure it's not the translated C source.

Normally, the compiler removes almost all generated intermediate files, by the end of the compilation process.  Add the "-keep" option to your cm3 command to override this. Then all the intermediate files will be left in the build directory.

Note that only if you use the C backend will there be files in C.  There are some backend modes that leave files, named ending in "c", that are actually CM3's front-end-to-back-end intermediate representation.
