Would use this at a fairly large company if we had windows and Mac support, probably could get budget to pay for the features it’s missing.

  That sounds like you should get in contact with Rui Ueyama. If anybody asks, someone on HN said it seemed like a no-brainer.

    Absolutely. Rui is awesome. He's always been awesome. I was his director and then vp for a long time (also replaced by awesome people, thankfully). The day he left to make a go of mold and such I was sad for us and super excited for him.

  Hm - are the linking requirements for PE and COFF similar enough for that to work?
  • rurban 21d ago
    No. I wrote my integrated linkers with rcc for pe/coff, elf and macho by myself, and macho was the worst to be dealt with. elf was pretty easy, easier than pe/coff. Mine is also much faster than mold/wild, because I do much less work, and I have all the objects already in memory. Similar to tinycc. Only when someone needs a very unusual unsupported linker feature, I have to fallback to an external linker, which is ~100x slower. The less work it has to do, the faster. I dont appreciate the unix habit to use intermediate files all along, which needs additional readers and writers.
