Drlink version 0.30 - 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 overlays. It
is based very closely on the version of link that comes with
release 3 of the Acorn C compiler.
Drlink's main features are:
* It links AOF version 2 and 3 files and ALF libraries to create
AIF image files, reloctable AIF image files, plain binary
image files, partially-linked AOF files and 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 can 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.
* It supports 'throwback' to display error messages in a window.
Drlink has been tested with releases 3, 4 and 5 of the Acorn C
compiler as well as the DDE Pascal compiler, !As and TLA. Version
0.30 is StrongARM-compatible.
