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.
