linkage editor

An absolute expression can be completely evaluated at assembly time and does not require further processing by the linkage editor.

The Stage 2 jobstream uses a variety of utilities, including the assembler and linkage editor.

As an example, one of the instructions, CreateEncapsulatedModule, was a complete linkage editor.

The Linkage Editor.

In IBM mainframe environments such as OS/360 this program is known as a linkage editor.

The following example shows the control statements that instruct the OS/360 Linkage Editor to link an overlay program, indented to show structure:

A J adcon is set by the linkage editor to hold the cumulative length of the External Dummy Section, and does not actually contain an address.

Further enhancements will include a linkage editor that enables users to define the relationships between entities in a scene - such as a light switch and light - including sound.

The Linkage Editor is a utility program which organizes a load module in a very specialized format consisting of alternating "text records" and "control/relocation dictionary records".

Then the object module from the compiler must be processed by the linkage editor, IEWL, to create an executable load module.

A example of a load-and-go system is the OS/360 loader, which performed many of the functions of the Linkage Editor, but placed the linked program in memory rather than creating an executable on disk.

The operating system was a proprietary Four-Phase Disc Operating System (rebranded by Philips) which supported the usual components at that time: text editor, assembler, various compilers, and linkage editor.

The compiler has an industry standard COFF T9000 assembler and COFF linkage editor and there is integrated debug support for source level and assembly level debugging.

A relocatable expression is one that contains one or more terms that require relocation by the linkage editor when the program ls linked, for example, in the following code 'ACON' has a relocatable nominal value.
