Linkers and Loaders by John R Levine
Whatever your programming language, whatever your platform, you probably tap into linker and loader functions. This book deals with these deep-seated compile-time and run-time processes. It begins with a comparative account of linking and loading that illustrates the differences among various compilers and operating systems.
"I enjoyed reading this useful overview of the techniques and challenges of implementing linkers and loadersWhile most of the examples are focused on three computer architectures that are widely used today, there are also many side comments about interesting and quirky computer architectures of the past. I can tell from these war stories that the author really has been there himself and survived to tell the tale." --Guy Steele
