  • Using Ld the GNU Linker
    Using ld The GNU linker ld version 2 January 1994 Steve Chamberlain Cygnus Support Cygnus Support [email protected], [email protected] Using LD, the GNU linker Edited by Jeffrey Osier (jeff[email protected]) Copyright c 1991, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved on all copies. Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of this manual under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided also that the entire resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a permission notice identical to this one. Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this manual into another lan- guage, under the above conditions for modified versions. Chapter 1: Overview 1 1 Overview ld combines a number of object and archive files, relocates their data and ties up symbol references. Usually the last step in compiling a program is to run ld. ld accepts Linker Command Language files written in a superset of AT&T’s Link Editor Command Language syntax, to provide explicit and total control over the linking process. This version of ld uses the general purpose BFD libraries to operate on object files. This allows ld to read, combine, and write object files in many different formats—for example, COFF or a.out. Different formats may be linked together to produce any available kind of object file. See Chapter 5 [BFD], page 47, for more information. Aside from its flexibility, the gnu linker is more helpful than other linkers in providing diagnostic information.
