41 41 .SH DESCRIPTION
42 42 .sp
43 43 .LP
44 44 The link-editor, \fBld\fR, combines relocatable object files by resolving
45 45 symbol references to symbol definitions, together with performing relocations.
46 46 \fBld\fR operates in two modes, static or dynamic, as governed by the \fB-d\fR
47 47 option. In all cases, the output of \fBld\fR is left in the file \fBa.out\fR by
48 48 default. See NOTES.
49 49 .sp
50 50 .LP
51 51 In dynamic mode, \fB-dy\fR, the default, relocatable object files that are
52 52 provided as arguments are combined to produce an executable object file. This
53 53 file is linked at execution with any shared object files that are provided as
54 54 arguments. If the \fB-G\fR option is specified, relocatable object files are
55 55 combined to produce a shared object. Without the \fB-G\fR option, a dynamic
56 56 executable is created.
57 57 .sp
58 58 .LP
59 59 In static mode, \fB-dn\fR, relocatable object files that are provided as
60 60 arguments are combined to produce a static executable file. If the \fB-r\fR
61 61 option is specified, relocatable object files are combined to produce one
62 62 relocatable object file. See \fBStatic Executables\fR.
63 63 .sp
64 64 .LP
65 65 Dynamic linking is the most common model for combining relocatable objects, and
66 66 the eventual creation of processes within Solaris. This environment tightly
67 67 couples the work of the link-editor and the runtime linker, \fBld.so.1\fR(1).
68 68 Both of these utilities, together with their related technologies and
69 69 utilities, are extensively documented in the \fILinker and Libraries Guide\fR.
70 70 .sp
71 71 .LP
72 72 If any argument is a library, \fBld\fR by default searches the library exactly
73 73 once at the point the library is encountered on the argument list. The library
74 74 can be either a shared object or relocatable archive. See \fBar.h\fR(3HEAD)).
75 75 .sp
76 76 .LP
77 77 A shared object consists of an indivisible, whole unit that has been generated
78 78 by a previous link-edit of one or more input files. When the link-editor
79 79 processes a shared object, the entire contents of the shared object become a
80 80 logical part of the resulting output file image. The shared object is not
81 81 physically copied during the link-edit as its actual inclusion is deferred
82 82 until process execution. This logical inclusion means that all symbol entries
83 83 defined in the shared object are made available to the link-editing process.
84 84 See Chapter 4, \fIShared Objects,\fR in \fILinker and Libraries Guide\fR
85 85 .sp
86 86 .LP
87 87 For an archive library, \fBld\fR loads only those routines that define an
88 88 unresolved external reference. \fBld\fR searches the symbol table of the
89 89 archive library sequentially to resolve external references that can be
90 90 satisfied by library members. This search is repeated until no external
91 91 references can be resolved by the archive. Thus, the order of members in the
92 92 library is functionally unimportant, unless multiple library members exist that
93 93 define the same external symbol. Archive libraries that have interdependencies
94 94 can require multiple command line definitions, or the use of one of the
95 95 \fB-z\fR \fBrescan\fR options. See \fIArchive Processing\fR in \fILinker and
96 96 Libraries Guide\fR.
97 97 .sp
98 98 .LP
99 99 \fBld\fR is a cross link-editor, able to link 32-bit objects or 64-bit objects,
100 100 for Sparc or x86 targets. \fBld\fR uses the \fBELF\fR class and machine type of
101 101 the first relocatable object on the command line to govern the mode in which to
102 102 operate. The mixing of 32-bit objects and 64-bit objects is not permitted.
103 103 Similarly, only objects of a single machine type are allowed. See the
104 104 \fB-32\fR, \fB-64\fR and \fB-z target\fR options, and the \fBLD_NOEXEC_64\fR
105 105 environment variable.
106 106 .SS "Static Executables"
107 107 .sp
108 108 .LP
109 109 The creation of static executables has been discouraged for many releases. In
110 110 fact, 64-bit system archive libraries have never been provided. Because a
111 111 static executable is built against system archive libraries, the executable
112 112 contains system implementation details. This self-containment has a number of
113 113 drawbacks.

118 118 The executable is immune to the benefits of system patches delivered as shared

136 136 .LP
137 137 With Solaris 10, 32-bit system archive libraries are no longer provided.
138 138 Without these libraries, specifically \fBlibc.a\fR, the creation of static
139 139 executables is no longer achievable without specialized system knowledge.
140 140 However, the capability of \fBld\fR to process static linking options, and the
141 141 processing of archive libraries, remains unchanged.
142 142 .SH OPTIONS
143 143 .sp
144 144 .LP

153 153 Creates a 32-bit, or 64-bit object.
154 154 .sp
155 155 By default, the class of the object being generated is determined from the
156 156 first \fBELF\fR object processed from the command line. If no objects are
157 157 specified, the class is determined by the first object encountered within the
158 158 first archive processed from the command line. If there are no objects or
159 159 archives, the link-editor creates a 32-bit object.
160 160 .sp
161 161 The \fB-64\fR option is required to create a 64-bit object solely from a
162 162 mapfile.
163 163 .sp
164 164 This \fB-32\fR or \fB-64\fR options can also be used in the rare case of
165 165 linking entirely from an archive that contains a mixture of 32 and 64-bit
166 166 objects. If the first object in the archive is not the class of the object that
167 167 is required to be created, then the \fB-32\fR or \fB-64\fR option can be used
168 168 to direct the link-editor. See \fIThe 32-bit link-editor and 64-bit
169 169 link-editor\fR in \fILinker and Libraries Guide\fR.

180 180 are not permitted. This option is the default behavior for static mode. The

192 192 In dynamic mode only, provides no special processing for dynamic executable
193 193 relocations that reference symbols in shared objects. Without the \fB-b\fR
194 194 option, the link-editor applies techniques within a dynamic executable so that
195 195 the text segment can remain read-only. One technique is the creation of special
196 196 position-independent relocations for references to functions that are defined
197 197 in shared objects. Another technique arranges for data objects that are defined
198 198 in shared objects to be copied into the memory image of an executable at
199 199 runtime.
200 200 .sp
201 201 The \fB-b\fR option is intended for specialized dynamic objects and is not
202 202 recommended for general use. Its use suppresses all specialized processing
203 203 required to ensure an object's shareability, and can even prevent the
204 204 relocation of 64-bit executables.

213 213 .RS 4n
214 214 These options govern direct binding. \fB-B\fR \fBdirect\fR establishes direct
215 215 binding information by recording the relationship between each symbol reference
216 216 together with the dependency that provides the definition. In addition, direct
217 217 binding information is established between each symbol reference and an
218 218 associated definition within the object being created. The runtime linker uses
219 219 this information to search directly for a symbol in the associated object
220 220 rather than to carry out a default symbol search.
221 221 .sp
222 222 Direct binding information can only be established to dependencies specified
223 223 with the link-edit. Thus, you should use the \fB-z\fR \fBdefs\fR option.
224 224 Objects that wish to interpose on symbols in a direct binding environment
225 225 should identify themselves as interposers with the \fB-z\fR \fBinterpose\fR
226 226 option. The use of \fB-B\fR \fBdirect\fR enables \fB-z\fR \fBlazyload\fR for
227 227 all dependencies.
228 228 .sp
229 229 The \fB-B\fR \fBnodirect\fR option prevents any direct binding to the
230 230 interfaces offered by the object being created. The object being created can
231 231 continue to directly bind to external interfaces by specifying the \fB-z\fR
232 232 \fBdirect\fR option. See Appendix D, \fIDirect Bindings,\fR in \fILinker and

852 852 By default, \fBld\fR combines multiple relocation sections when building
853 853 executables or shared objects. This section combination differs from
854 854 relocatable objects, in which relocation sections are maintained in a
855 855 one-to-one relationship with the sections to which the relocations must be
856 856 applied. The \fB-z\fR \fBnocombreloc\fR option disables this merging of
857 857 relocation sections, and preserves the one-to-one relationship found in the
858 858 original relocatable objects.
859 859 .sp
860 860 \fBld\fR sorts the entries of data relocation sections by their symbol
861 861 reference. This sorting reduces runtime symbol lookup. When multiple relocation
862 862 sections are combined, this sorting produces the least possible relocation
863 863 overhead when objects are loaded into memory, and speeds the runtime loading of
864 864 dynamic objects.
865 865 .sp
866 866 Historically, the individual relocation sections were carried over to any

869 869 Relocation section merging is now the default. The \fB-z\fR \fBcombreloc\fR
870 870 option is still accepted for the benefit of old build environments, but the

1621 1621 compile all the objects, then all calls to \fBmalloc\fR will call the function
1622 1622 \fB__wrap_malloc\fR instead. The call to \fB__real_malloc\fR will call the real
1623 1623 \fBmalloc\fR function.
1624 1624 .sp
1625 1625 The real and wrapped functions should be maintained in separate source files.
1626 1626 Otherwise, the compiler or assembler may resolve the call instead of leaving
1627 1627 that operation for the link-editor to carry out, and prevent the wrap from
1628 1628 occurring.

1838 1838 .LP
1839 1839 Default options applied by \fBld\fR are maintained for historic reasons. In
1840 1840 today's programming environment, where dynamic objects dominate, alternative
1841 1841 defaults would often make more sense. However, historic defaults must be
1842 1842 maintained to ensure compatibility with existing program development
1843 1843 environments. Historic defaults are called out wherever possible in this
1844 1844 manual. For a description of the current recommended options, see Appendix A,
1845 1845 \fILink-Editor Quick Reference,\fR in \fILinker and Libraries Guide\fR.
1846 1846 .sp
1847 1847 .LP
1848 1848 If the file being created by \fBld\fR already exists, the file is unlinked
1849 1849 after all input files have been processed. A new file with the specified name
1850 1850 is then created. This allows \fBld\fR to create a new version of the file,
1851 1851 while simultaneously allowing existing processes that are accessing the old
1852 1852 file contents to continue running. If the old file has no other links, the disk
1853 1853 space of the removed file is freed when the last process referencing the file
1854 1854 terminates.
1855 1855 .sp
1856 1856 .LP
1857 1857 The behavior of \fBld\fR when the file being created already exists was changed
1858 1858 with \fBSXCE\fR build \fB43\fR. In older versions, the existing file was
1859 1859 rewritten in place, an approach with the potential to corrupt any running
1860 1860 processes that is using the file. This change has an implication for output
1861 1861 files that have multiple hard links in the file system. Previously, all links
1862 1862 would remain intact, with all links accessing the new file contents. The new
1863 1863 \fBld\fR behavior \fBbreaks\fR such links, with the result that only the
1864 1864 specified output file name references the new file. All the other links
1865 1865 continue to reference the old file. To ensure consistent behavior, applications
1866 1866 that rely on multiple hard links to linker output files should explicitly
1867 1867 remove and relink the other file names.
