Linker (computing)
7 linksIn computing, a linker or link editor is a computer system program that takes one or more object files (generated by a compiler or an assembler) and combines them into a single executable file, library file, or another "object" file.
Dynamic linker
6 linksIn computing, a dynamic linker is the part of an operating system that loads and links the shared libraries needed by an executable when it is executed (at "run time"), by copying the content of libraries from persistent storage to RAM, filling jump tables and relocating pointers.
Operating system
6 linksSystem software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
System software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
A library operating system is one in which the services that a typical operating system provides, such as networking, are provided in the form of libraries and composed with the application and configuration code to construct a unikernel: a specialized, single address space, machine image that can be deployed to cloud or embedded environments.
Dynamic-link library
6 linksDynamic-link library (DLL) is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept in the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.
Position-independent code
5 linksBody of machine code that, being placed somewhere in the primary memory, executes properly regardless of its absolute address.
Body of machine code that, being placed somewhere in the primary memory, executes properly regardless of its absolute address.
PIC is commonly used for shared libraries, so that the same library code can be loaded in a location in each program address space where it does not overlap with other memory in use (for example, other shared libraries).
Relocation (computing)
4 linksProcess of assigning load addresses for position-dependent code and data of a program and adjusting the code and data to reflect the assigned addresses.
Process of assigning load addresses for position-dependent code and data of a program and adjusting the code and data to reflect the assigned addresses.
A linker usually performs relocation in conjunction with symbol resolution, the process of searching files and libraries to replace symbolic references or names of libraries with actual usable addresses in memory before running a program.
Loader (computing)
4 linksIn computer systems a loader is the part of an operating system that is responsible for loading programs and libraries.
Portable Executable
4 linksFile format for executables, object code, DLLs and others used in 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems.
File format for executables, object code, DLLs and others used in 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems.
This includes dynamic library references for linking, API export and import tables, resource management data and thread-local storage (TLS) data.
Java (programming language)
3 linksHigh-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
High-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
The original and reference implementation Java compilers, virtual machines, and class libraries were originally released by Sun under proprietary licenses.
.NET Framework
4 linksProprietary software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows.
Proprietary software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows.
It includes a large class library called Framework Class Library (FCL) and provides language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages) across several programming languages.
