- How does the compilation linking process work? - Stack Overflow
Linking The linker is what produces the final compilation output from the object files the compiler produced This output can be either a shared (or dynamic) library (and while the name is similar, they haven't got much in common with static libraries mentioned earlier) or an executable
- What is compiler, linker, loader? - Stack Overflow
I wanted to know in depth meaning and working of compiler, linker and loader With reference to any language preferably c++
- What are the differences between a compiler and a linker?
30 A compiler generates object code files (machine language) from source code A linker combines these object code files into an executable Many IDEs invoke them in succession, so you never actually see the linker at work Some languages compilers do not have a distinct linker and linking is done by the compiler as part of its work
- linker - How does C++ linking work in practice? - Stack Overflow
How does C++ linking work in practice? What I am looking for is a detailed explanation about how the linking happens, and not what commands do the linking There's already a similar question about
- linker - C header files and compilation linking - Stack Overflow
The linker knows where a symbol is defined because object files also contain the symbols defined in the translation unit If you want more details about how linkers work I suggest you search for information about that in your favorite search engine, as it's a much to broad subject to answer here (especially in comments)
- linker - Limiting visibility of symbols when linking shared libraries . . .
67 Some platforms mandate that you provide a list of a shared library's external symbols to the linker However, on most unixish systems that's not necessary: all non-static symbols will be available by default My understanding is that the GNU toolchain can optionally restrict visibility just to symbols explicitly declared
- linker - Why does the order in which libraries are linked sometimes . . .
The linker daemon is like a spaghetti colander, a bunch of symbols arrive at the colander walls and poke through the holes, and the linker must track all symbols and connect together all the symbols by address linkage If it misses some, the program will crash
- Linker Script - Placing a section at the end of a memory region
Linker script has special variable called Location Counter which allows to modify the current address, and as such the size or address of a section or symbol, by creating gaps or holes in the address space
