<P>The ld65 linker combines several object modules created by the ca65
|
|
assembler, producing an executable file. The object modules may be read
|
|
from a library created by the ar65 archiver (this is somewhat faster and
|
|
more convenient). The linker was designed to be as flexible as possible.
|
|
It complements the features that are built into the ca65 macroassembler:</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> Accept any number of segments to form an executable module.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> Resolve arbitrary expressions stored in the object files.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> In case of errors, use the meta information stored in the object files
|
|
to produce helpful error messages. In case of undefined symbols,
|
|
expression range errors, or symbol type mismatches, ld65 is able to
|
|
tell you the exact location in the original assembler source, where
|
|
the symbol was referenced.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> Flexible output. The output of ld65 is highly configurable by a config
|
|
file. More common platforms are supported by builtin configurations
|
|
that may be activated by naming the target system. The output
|
|
generation was designed with different output formats in mind, so
|
|
adding other formats shouldn't be a great problem.
