Q.
When the linker links library files, does it perform any cross-referencing among libraries?
A.
No, it does not due to following reasons:
The linker operation speed is improved by not allowing cross-referencing.1.
If the linker has a library cross-reference function, the user has to be aware of which library needs which libraries at linking.
This feature will burden the user with complicated library management.
2.
Let us assume that the linker can cross-reference link-order independent libraries, so that the linker will specify multiple
libraries. And, if one module is registered in multiple libraries, it will be very hard for the user to figure out which modules
are linked.
3.
Please note that the cross-referencing relocatable modules must be in the same library file.
