Karteikarten
Linkers, Loaders, & Libraries
Karten in diesem Stapel (3)
- 1What is a Library?> Small pieces of pre-written, compiled, tested, and checked pieces of code
> Developers can rely upon libraries to help shorten code
> Exist in most programming languages to offer shorthand ways to achieve a common task
> Programmers do not have to repeat code whenever they want a common task - 2What is a Linker?> Software responsible for linking libraries to code that uses them
> Libraries can be statically or dynamically linked
> Statically linked libraries are included in the compiled machine code, which increases the binary footprint of the code
> Dynamically linked libraries are not included in the machine code, but must be installed for the program to run (this is helpful for OS functions, such as showing a window) - 3What is a Loader?> Type of program that loads the program you're trying to run (not confusing at all!)
> Part of the OS that finds a good place for object or machine code to sit in memory
> When using statically linked libraries, all of the library and code is loaded into memory
> When using dynamically linked libraries, the loaded will load the library into memory when necessary
