~'ile No. S360-31 GC28-2005-4 TSS Systems Reference Library Version 8.1 IBM System/360 TiJne Sharing System Linkage Editor Tells how to use the Time Sharing System's linkage editor. This optional program can be used to join two or more related object modules into one object module. saving dynamic loader processing time. A linkage edi- tor user can also, without having to reassemble or recompile his program, combine control sections (pos- sibly saving external s1torage and reducing program execution time); rename entry points, control sections, and external references; and change control section attributes. An introduction explains: how a TSS/360 object module is created, its structure, how control sections are named and attributes assigned, external definitions and references, the difference between explicit and implicit linkage, and the difference between static and dynamic linking. The reader is shown how to invoke the linkage editor and how to use linkage editor control statements. Examples are provided for both conversational and non- conversational users. Before using this publication, be familiar with the contents of: IBM System/360 Time Sharing System: Concepts and Facilities, GC2S-2003 IBM System/360 Time Sharing System: Command System User's Guide, Ge28-2001 Fifth Edition (September 1971) This is a major revision of and makes: obsolete Form GC28- 2005-3 and Technical Newsletter GN28-3117. This revision reflects recent changes in TSS/360 and corrects errors in the previous edition. Addition of the DXD and CXD instructions and the Q-type address constant to the TSS/360 assembler has made linkage possible between object modules produced by the assembler and those produced by the PLII compiler. Restric- tions for linkage editing PLII compiler-produced modules have been removed. Figure 15, Format of PHD Listing, now reflects additions to this listing for DXD and CXD references. A table has been added, summarizing bow to use the linkage edi- tor. A glossary has been added. Significant changes will be indicated by a vertical line beside the changed text. This edition is current with Version 8, Modification 1, of the IBM System/360 Time Sharing System, and remains in effect for all subsequent versions or modifications unless otherwise noted. Significant changes or additions to this publication will be provided in new editions or Technical Newsletters.
