An absolute expression can be completely evaluated at assembly time and does not require further processing by the linkage editor.
2.
The Linkage Editor organizes a load module in a specialized format consisting of alternating " text records " and " control / relocation dictionary records ".
3.
An example of a load-and-go system is the Linkage Editor, but placed the linked program in memory rather than creating an executable on disk.
4.
A "'J "'adcon is set by the linkage editor to hold the cumulative length of the External Dummy Section, and does not actually contain an address.
5.
Note : the term " linkage editor " should not be construed as implying that the program operates in a user-interactive mode ( like, for example, a text editor ).
6.
The operating system was a proprietary Four-Phase Disc Operating System ( rebranded by Philips ) which supported the usual components at that time : text editor, assembler, various compilers, and linkage editor.
7.
Programs could be converted to a more ready-to-use with the " STORECI " command, which invoked Core Image Builder ( DM2's counterpart to the 360's Linkage Editor ).
8.
The system's Linkage Editor application is named IEWL . IEWL's main function is to associate load modules ( executable programs ) and object modules ( the output from, say, assemblers and compilers ), including " automatic calls " to libraries ( high-level language " built-in functions " ), into a format which may be most efficiently loaded by IEWFETCH . There are a large number of editing options, but for a conventional application only a few of these are commonly employed.
