What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers navigate the complexities of linkers (ld, gold, lld) and Link-Time Optimization (LTO), enabling them to reduce binary size, improve performance, and resolve linking errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Linker Configuration: Guides users on selecting and configuring GNU ld, gold, and lld.
  • LTO Implementation: Provides instructions for safely enabling and managing LTO in projects.
  • Error Resolution: Helps diagnose and fix common link-time errors like 'undefined reference' and symbol conflicts.
  • Use Case: A developer is struggling with a large binary size and slow startup time. They can use this Skill to understand how to enable LTO and use --gc-sections to strip unused code, significantly reducing the executable's footprint and improving load performance.

Quick Start

Use the linkers-lto skill to understand how to enable Link-Time Optimization with Clang and lld.
