Im guessing that perhaps gcc's -o option now days enables the executable bit on the output file ? I haven't looked into that however.
Nothing at all to do with gcc, reread what I already posted...

    No, Mike is absolutely correct. dot's meaning in this context is
    current directory, and slash is just a path modifier / separator.
    Putting the file in ones $PATH would solve the "problem" of having
    to use dot slash I've know  this forever, I do not know why I was
    thinking that chmod +x would solve that "issue", because it wont.

    I do recall at some point perhaps not too long ago that changing
    file permissions to executable was required. But now days this
    does not seem to be the case . . . I've always in the last several
    years use ./executable until I put the executable into my local
    path . . .

        So be nice to fellow group users who actually know what
        they're talking about, and have been on this list a lot
        longer than you.
        Maybe we need to learn what ./ does... It has absolutely
        nothing to do with a files permissions or whether it's
        executable or not. It's use is regarding the lack of the
        current directory "." in one's PATH variable.  Umask is
        (largely) what controls what permissions a file is created with.

            Graham, please do not tell fairy tails on this list!

            $ echo '#include <stdio.h>' > hello.c
$ echo 'int main (void) { printf ("Hello, world!\n"); return 0; }' >> hello.c
            $ cat hello.c

            int main (void) {  printf ("Hello, world!\n");   return 0; }

            No chmod needed, no myprogram.o there, why the sudo????
