MULTIPASS LINKING

Large projects are frequently broken down into subsystem teams, each of which develops their portion of the application independently of the others. In order to create a final executable, all the modules from all the subsystem teams need to be combined. One way to do this is to have each subsystem team supply a linked relocatable file to the system integrator. The system integrator would then link all the subsystem files together to create the final executable. The advantage of this technique is that only the relocatable object file needs to be supplied to the system integrator, not all the original source files. This can make version control of the final executable simpler because only the relocatable output files need to be tracked.

This document describes how the multipass link process is performed.
