We recently received a copy of OPTLINKS from SLR Systems Inc. We are evaluating it for use in an on going development of a moderatively large Windows application (~900K EXE file). The application will not link using the Microsoft linker which comes with C 5.1. It runs out of symbol table space. It will link with LINK4 which came with the Windows 2.1 SDK in about 4.5 minutes. It links with OPTLINKS in about 1 minute. LINK4 will also only allow a small portion to be compiled with Zi before it also runs out of table space. OPTLINKS will link the whole program with Zi. OPTLINKS also provides many options not included with Microsoft linkers including a cross reference listing. Does anybody else have either good or bad experience with this linker or other SLR linkers? Thank you in advance for any information.
