Using Archives

or

/usr/local/lib64

then, the same

-l

option in the linker verifies the desired one

based on the type of link created. Otherwise, the user can decide the naming

convention for the archives and formulate the linker to find the right version.
Archives are a method of making loadfiles smaller, because the linker will automatically

bring into the link only those members of the archive which are needed. Archives are

also a way of packaging together multiple linkfiles, as an alternative to using the

-r

option.

The Steps in Looking for Archives and DLLs

The linker performs the following steps, in the order given, to search for an archive or

DLL:

1. The linker first looks in the directories or subvolumes whose names are

specified in

-first_L

options in the command stream, in the same order that

those options occurred in the command stream.

2. The linker next looks for public libraries. However, the linker does not do this if

the

-r

option is specified or if

-b static

is in effect.

3. The linker next looks in the directories or subvolumes whose names are

specified in

-L

options in the command stream, in the same order that those

options occurred in the command stream. The

-libvol

option is a synonym

for

-L

, and preferred because the

-libvol

option is not case- sensitive,

whereas

-L

is a different option from

-l

.

4. On OSS, the linker looks in a list of standard places. If the linker is building a

64-bit object, or if the

-alf

option is processing a 64-bit loadfile, then the first

three places in this list are

/lib64

,

/usr/lib64

and

/usr/local/lib64

.

In all other cases, the next three places in the list are

/lib,

/usr/lib,

and

/usr/local/lib

. Each of the above names is prefixed with the contents of

the

COMP_ROOT

environment variable, if the variable is defined.

5. Finally, on Guardian or OSS, if the linker is building a 64-bit object or if the

-alf

option is processing a 64-bit loadfile, the linker looks into the

$SYSTEM.YDLL

and in all other cases the linker looks into

$SYSTEM.ZDLL

.

However, the linker does not perform these actions if the

-r

option is specified

or if

-b

static is in effect.

The following sub-section tells the rules that are used for looking for public libraries

(step 2 above), and the sub-section after that tells what the linker does when it is

looking through other directories or subvolumes (all the steps above other than step 2).
If the

-nostdlib

option is specified, steps (2), (4), and (5) in the above list are

skipped, so that the linker would only look in the places specified by

-first_L

or

-L

options. The option

-no_stdlib

is accepted as a synonym for

-nostdlib

.

The same search method is used for all searches. For example, it doesn’t matter

whether some of the

-L

options came later in the command stream than the

-l

option for which the search is being performed.
