So a couple of years ago I had too much free time and wrote a linker.
It's now on github: https://github.com/yebblies/ylink Pros: - Written in D - Not written in assembly - Not written before I was born - Boost license - Usually produces working executables Cons: - No debug information (yet) - Slower than optlink - Uses more memory than optlink (cannot run with < 64k of ram) - Cannot produce DLLs (yet) - Not really tested It still needs a lot of work, but it's functional. Potential uses: - Replace optlink - Replace microsoft linker (we could ship this with dmd) - Call from dmd to do in-memory linking - Experiment with linker optimizations Enjoy!
