Question: Is Linkers & Loaders by John R. Levine still a good book?
- CalChris 7y agoYes. It definitely stands the test of time. It covers several formats (elf, coff, pef, ..., not macho), linker scripts, and explains some old design decisions. You’ll understand object file formats much better, and the fundamental processes of relocation, ... having read Levine. Gold and LLD are (much) faster but they’re still doing the same thing.
