Note that unlike COFF, we do not -distinguish chunks from input sections; they are merged together. - -Capabilities ------------- -This linker can link LLVM and Clang on Linux/x86-64 or FreeBSD/x86-64 -"Hello world" can be linked on Linux/PPC64 and on Linux/AArch64 or -FreeBSD/AArch64. - -Performance ------------ -Achieving good performance is one of our goals. It's too early to reach a -conclusion, but we are optimistic about that as it currently seems to be faster -than GNU gold. It will be interesting to compare when we are close to feature -parity. - -Library Use ------------ - -You can embed LLD to your program by linking against it and calling the linker's -entry point function lld::elf::link. - -The current policy is that it is your reponsibility to give trustworthy object -files. The function is guaranteed to return as long as you do not pass corrupted -or malicious object files. A corrupted file could cause a fatal error or SEGV. -That being said, you don't need to worry too much about it if you create object -files in a usual way and give them to the linker (it is naturally expected to -work, or otherwise it's a linker's bug.) +See docs/NewLLD.rst |
