компоновщик GNU (The GNU linker)
Описание (Description)
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 man page does not describe the command language; see the ld
entry in "info" for full details on the command language and on
other aspects of the GNU linker.
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.
Aside from its flexibility, the GNU linker is more helpful than
other linkers in providing diagnostic information. Many linkers
abandon execution immediately upon encountering an error;
whenever possible, ld continues executing, allowing you to
identify other errors (or, in some cases, to get an output file
in spite of the error).
The GNU linker ld is meant to cover a broad range of situations,
and to be as compatible as possible with other linkers. As a
result, you have many choices to control its behavior.
