GNU gold developer on linker basics (2007) (airs.com)

I find that one of the subjects with the rarest of documentation is linkers. I often run into linking problems and all I have is the gnu linker manual.

Partly the problem is that linker people are unaware that the new generation of software engineers have no knowledge of linkers. I hope he goes one step further and makes a book out of it.


We have a book by John Levine, but it's too outdated.

http://www.iecc.com/linker/

Anyone interested in an up-to-date version of such a book?


The subsequent blog entries on linker basics can simply be reached by increasing the number in the link (i.e., /39, /40, and so on).



I just did this and was about to post it in a comment here. :)
