The MPLAB XC32 Assembler does not generate error files, hex files, or symbol and debug files. The XC32 assembler is capable of creating an assembler list file and a relocatable object file (that might or might not contain debugging information). The XC32 Linker is used with the assembler to produce the final object files, map files and a final executable file for debugging with MPLAB X IDE (see 2.2 Assembler and Other Development Tools).
