Generate an executable from object files in different formats

Say that I have two files main.o compiled from gcc and another file function.o compiled from MSVC; is it possible to generate an executable (by linking) from these files? Is this what BFS (binary file descriptor) library designed for? I mean can I use BFS to do this? If not, is there any way to do this?

Perhaps.

C++ code produced by different compilers is not link compatible, but C code usually is (at least on UNIX). On Windows, it may or may not be possible. At a minimum, you should tell us which versions of MSVC and gcc you used to build the objects.

You probably mean the BFD library. No, that's not what it is for.
