- Drlink version 0.24 - An AOF linker, by Dave Daniels
-
- Drlink is a linker for AOF files. It is a near-full replacement
- for the Acorn linker, link, capable of performing nearly all of
- link's functions except for features such as creating
- partially-linked AOF files or overlays. Drlink's main features
- are:
-
- * It is based very closely on the version of link that comes with
- release 3 of the Acorn C compiler.
- * It links AOF files and ALF libraries to create AIF image files,
- reloctable AIF image files, plain binary image files, or
- relocatable modules in RMF format.
- * It has the same command syntax as link and so can be used as
- a direct replacement for link.
- * It can run much faster than link.
- * It can use less memory than link.
- * It works with amu.
- * It can extend size of wimpslot if running under a task window
- or the F12 CLI if memory runs short.
- * It supports extended command lines.
- * It an remove unused functions from programs, if the right
- compiler options were used when compiling the program.
- * It can scan libraries more than once when resolving symbols
- references
- * Symbolic debugging tables can be selectively included in the
- image file.
- * It has *documented* link edit commands
-
- Drlink has been tested with both release 3 and release 4 of the
- Acorn C compiler as well as the DDE Pascal compiler, !As and TLA.
