So a couple of years ago I had too much free time and wrote a linker.
It's now on github: https://github.com/yebblies/ylink
Pros:
- Written in D
- Not written in assembly
- Not written before I was born
- Boost license
- Usually produces working executables
Cons:
- No debug information (yet)
- Slower than optlink
- Uses more memory than optlink (cannot run with < 64k of ram)
- Cannot produce DLLs (yet)
- Not really tested
It still needs a lot of work, but it's functional.
Potential uses:
- Replace optlink
- Replace microsoft linker (we could ship this with dmd)
- Call from dmd to do in-memory linking
- Experiment with linker optimizations
Enjoy!
