Short: PhxLnk V4.23 Amiga DOS Linker
Author: frank@phoenix.owl.de (Frank Wille)
Uploader: frank@phoenix.owl.de
Version: 4.23
Type: dev/asm
Replaces: dev/asm/PhxLnk422*
Requires: OS2.04
PhxLnk is Freeware and supports all features of a standard Amiga-DOS linker
(like BLink), except of overlay hunks and automatic link vectors (ALV).
There are two versions of PhxLnk, one for OS2.x and another for OS3.x.
Implemented functions:
o Links object files and libraries (SAS/C extended libraries too)
o Sections may be forced to Chip RAM
o Small Code, Small Data support
o SAS/C-Blink Small Data compatibility available
o '_MERGED' sections are recognized automatically (and coalesced like
Small Data sections)
o Symbolic and Source Level Debugging (PowerVisor compatibility included)
o Debug blocks are removed on request
o Deletes empty sections
o Zero bytes at the end of a section will be deleted and appear in the
HUNK_HEADER block only
o User may define absolute external symbols
o Generates HUNK_RELOC32SHORT blocks by default
CHANGES SINCE PHXLNK V4.22 (last Aminet release):
o LoadSeg() V40 doesn't like a section length of zero, because it will
refuse to clear the bss-part of a section in this special case. Now, a
minimal section length of one longword is guaranteed.
o PhxLnk uses its own buffered I/O routines instead those which the
dos.library offers. The size of the buffer is adjustable by the new CLI
parameter BUFSIZE/K/N, which defaults to 8192. Creating an FFS file is
more than five times faster as with v4.22.
