Avoid gcc deleting intermediate files while compiling C Code

We know our C Code goes through four stages: Preprocessing, compiling, assembling and linking
gcc creates many intermediate files for each stage. By default gcc deletes these intermediate files. You can instruct gcc to avoid deleting intermediate files passing '--save-temps' option to it.

Observe from the above screenshot, the intermediate files after

• Preprocessing (*.i)
• Compiling (*.s)
• assembling (*.o)

Are placed in the same directory
