Whateveryour programming language, whatever your platform, you probably tapinto linker and loader functions all the time. But do you know how touse them to their greatest possible advantage? Only now, with thepublication of Linkers & Loaders, is there an authoritative book devoted entirely to these deep-seated compile-time and run-time processes.
The book begins with a detailed and comparative account of linking andloading that illustrates the differences among various compilers andoperating systems. On top of this foundation, the author presents clearpractical advice to help you create faster, cleaner code. You’ll learnto avoid the pitfalls associated with Windows DLLs, take advantage ofthe space-saving, performance-improving techniques supported by manymodern linkers, make the best use of the UNIX ELF library scheme, andmuch more. If you’re serious about programming, you’ll devour thisunique guide to one of the field’s least understood topics. Linkers & Loadersis also an ideal supplementary text for compiler and operating systems courses.
*Includes a linker construction project written in Perl, withproject files available for download. *Covers dynamic linking inWindows, UNIX, Linux, BeOS, and other operating systems.
*Explains the Java linking model and how it figures in network applets and extensible Java code.
*Helps you write more elegant and effective code, and build applications that compile, load, and run more efficiently.
