I have found a large PDF file to study which contains a lot of information about Elf and object file format. Hope to get my feet wet. Have also downloaded the Linker sources to see what exactly it does differently when it receives the -E option.

I think it is an important feature maybe in plug-in situations specifically. But a lot of programs have plug in systems these days (and maybe not as well thought out ones, who don't utilize this trick). Not sure what else people use this feature for other than plug-in style situations - might ask the GCC crowd if I'm brave enough. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
