There are linkers which are significantly faster than the ones used by default.
Gold and bfd are two examples.
I use these for development and then test with the default linker just in case there’s some subtle issue hiding somewhere.
- berkut 4y agoGold's pretty slow by today's standards! - it was fast in say 2009 compared to ld, but not really anything to write home about these days. lldb and mold (mentioned in article) are much faster.
- fooker 4y agoGold is marginally faster than ld and uses significantly less memory when building large-ish projects like LLVM.
- jhasse 4y agoAnd lld is faster than gold. And mold is faster than lld.
- jhasse 4y agoI think you meant lld instead of lldb (which is LLVM's debugger).
- berkut 4y agoYes, muscle memory :)
