ILINK 3306 README
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION AND USE
|
|
|
|
Here in snap/bin, there are 3 linkers
|
|
link.exe (link.err) the incremental linker, debug build
|
|
rlink.exe (link.err) the incremental linker, release build
|
|
olink.exe (olink.err) the non-incremental linker, release build
|
|
|
|
To use ilink, just sync. Incremental linking is the default.
|
|
|
|
Ilink will create exe/dlls whose associated debug
|
|
info is stored in a program database (.pdb), in the so-called "NB10"
|
|
exe format. (In contrast, the old link produced the "NB09" format.)
|
|
The shn0[d].dll here in snap/bin can debug any combination of
|
|
exes/dlls in either NB09 or NB10 format.
|
|
|
|
Ilink will automatically try to incremental-link, provided
|
|
|
|
* you aren't creating a map file
|
|
* you aren't specifying -debugtype:both or -debugtype:coff
|
|
* you aren't specifying -pdb:none
|
|
* you aren't specifying -incremental:no
|
|
|
|
To produce a Cuda compatible "NB09" .exe, link -pdb:none.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CVPACK R.I.P.!
|
|
|
|
Since ilink transports debug information without cvpack, we expect some
|
|
minor problems with the CodeView expression evaluator. Please be on the
|
|
look out for any changes in EE behaviour, small or large and report them!
|
|
|
|
|
|
MIXING CUDA PDBS AND ILINK PDBS
|
|
|
|
Note that ilink can link objs created by the Dolphin and Cuda compilers,
|
|
e.g. both /Z7 and /Zi. However, for now, please do not specify the
|
|
same .pdb for the compiler and the linker.
|
|
|
|
That is, do not specify
|
|
cl -Zi -FdXYZ.pdb
|
|
when you are linking
|
|
link -pdb:XYZ:pdb (or)
|
|
link -out:XYZ.exe (which defaults to -pdb:XYZ.pdb).
|
|
|
|
Rather, change your "cl" line to use (for instance)
|
|
cl -Zi -Fdmsvc.pdb (or)
|
|
cl -Zi (which defaults to -Fdmsvc.pdb)
|
|
|
|
Otherwise you will get this diagnostic when you link:
|
|
LNK1206: cannot (yet) overwrite Visual C++ 1.0 program database "%s"
|
|

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS
