Windows EXE linker

Hello Newsgroup,

I had program a little tool, thats output some assembler output:

---
.section .rdata, "dr"
LC1:
.ascii "eins: %g\0"
..text
..globl _dbase_main
_dbase_main:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
fldz
fstpl _f
fldl _bmodal
fstpl 4(%esp)
movl $LC1
call _printf
leave
ret

..comm _bmodal, 16 # 8
..comm _f, 16 # 8
---

the compilation into object file is working fine.
But how can I link the .o file to a working .exe
file?
It should be able to link to DOS/GUI (win32) exe.

Thanks for helping
Jens

We don't deal with platform -specific matters here, nor assembler.

However object or .o / .obj files are a common intermediate. If you can coax
an assembler into producing a conforming .o file then you ought to be able
to link it to other C-derived .o files using the linker. However you are
unlikely to be able to link it in to an executable file.

Using whatever linker came with your compiler. This has nothing to do
with the C programming language and everything to do with your tool set.
Read the instructions for your tools and ask in whatever groups and
mailing lists exist to support them.

Last night I was compiling the latest python snapshot at my home Linux system (a K6-III @420 --the extra 20 Hz is overclocking :); then I tried building a shared version of the interpreter. I did some speed comparisons, and pystone reported ~6090 pystones for the shared and ~7680 pystones for the (default) static build. This is quite a difference, and while I do know what impact position independent code has on libraries, this was the...

I recently read your whitepaper under the "extremely long link times" post and have a question that I was hoping you could answer. My question is based on the following paragraph: Directives The linker's handling of directives left something to be desired in VC2003, and for this reason code with lots of directives can suffer. In particular __declspec(export), as it's likely the most common linker directive. Besides that, don't export...

Hi, I am having the following trouble in compiling DLL on windows. Suppose I want to compile module A into a DLL library, and I want to declare an external interger n in A.

Such reference can then be resolved when B loads A. Is there a way to achieve this? Right now when I tried...

Hello friends, I have an issue with a linker warning. It is the warning LNK4089. I am working in MSVC6.0 I investigated and this warning tells that the import of the library to which it makes reference is redundant, thus the linker ignores that library in order to make the code smaller. As it is expected, it only appears for release versions.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
