how does a linker functions?
In static linking, how does the linker knows which library file to link the us开发者_StackOverflower's compiled object code against? I mean the header only contains the function protoytpes that may be used in the source code, not the library file name.. isn't it?
That's why you provide the linker with a list of libraries to link against!
e.g. for GCC, you might do something like:
gcc my_prog.o -lm -lpthread -o my_prog
Here, the -l
flag is used to tell the linker to link against libm
and libpthread
.
It gets a list of libraries from the command line. The specifics will depend on the OS and the compiler.
