Maybe others have discussed the slowness of the GNU linker before (C programmers, for example).. and maybe the gnu/gcc team can offer some answers as to if the speed of the gnu linker is going to be improved or not. So far some simple searches don't reveal anything.
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22gcc%20linker%20is%20slow%22 http://www.google.com/search?q=%22gnu%20linker%20is%20slow%22 http://www.google.com/search?q=gcc+%22linker+is+slow%22 http://www.google.com/search?q=gnu+%22linker+is+slow%22 Not much in the above searches, which tells me not many people are going to be working on the GCC linker speed. I know that maybe it is possible for fpc to create its own linker, but if the gnu linker speed can be improved we might as well make use of it. If anyone finds some mailing lists or internet sites that show discussion if the gcc/gnu linker speed being improved (or why it is slow) please post in this thread. If no one has even made a note to the gcc tool chain team that the linker is slow, maybe they won't improve it? Maybe they feel people are satisfied with the speed? Of course it is probably the Win32 linker that is the real slow one, and I don't know why that is - so any mailing lists threads or sites you know of please post them here and/or discuss. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
