Linker

After you have Compiled your C program and are given object files, you are going to pass it through the linker.

Process

The linker does 3 things:

1. Turns current object files and object files found within required libraries into an executable.
2. Links object files
3. Resolves dependencies. The linker will abort if it detects errors in dependencies such as missing methods.

Linking Types

• Static Linking
• Runtime Linking
• Dynamic Linking
