Topic created on: May 3, 2009 10:57 CDT by charlie .

Hi guys,
        i was interested in knowing basics about how linkers and loaders work.

Like :
Internally  how .c -> .obj   and how .obj -> exe .

* How OS loads these exe's (or dll's in some cases).
etc.

Can someone pt me to url or some good book pls .
(Googling on 'linkers and loaders' spits out loads of different stuff leading to chaos).

Thanks in advance.

Definitely a solid book if you can find it. A Quick google search will also result in the pdf if your into that piracy thing. 7 Results down for the lethargic.

No need to bother with the PDF.
