#)Linker is a program that takes one or more objects generated by a compiler and combines them into a single executable program.

#)Loader is the part of an operating system that is responsible for loading programs from executables (i.e., executable files) into memory, preparing them for execution and then executing them.

What is 8051 loader?

The Loader is a program that moves the executable file produced by linker from the secondary storage device to memory for execution


Linker and loader in c language?

There is no such thing in the C language, but it is true that operating systems have a component called loader which loads binary program-files (whose source may be written in C language) into the memory and prepares them to the execution.


Why do you need loader and linker after compilation operation to run any program?

After compilation, the source code is transformed into object code, which is not yet executable. The loader is needed to load this object code into memory and allocate necessary resources, while the linker resolves references between different object files and libraries, combining them into a single executable file. Without these steps, the program wouldn't be properly organized in memory or linked to the required functions, making it impossible to run.


What is object linker?

In computer science, a linker or link editor is a program that takes one or more objects generated by a compiler and combines them into a single executable program.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkerThis is a response to the question, "What is object linker?". The appropriate question would have been, "What is a linker or link editor in the field of Computer Science and Software Engineering?". Note that a linker is called a loader when it refers to a run-time process. Linkers refer to compile-time processes.

Why static library are attached to w program via the linker while shared libraries are attached by the loader?

Because static libraries are, well, STATIC. They are LINKed STATICally to the program by the LINKer. Shared libraries are SHARED. They are linked by the LOADer when LOADed to SHARED libraries in system memory.


How are linker and loader related?

Linkers and loaders are both essential components of the software development process. A linker combines multiple object files produced by a compiler into a single executable file, resolving references between them. Once the executable is created, the loader is responsible for loading it into memory for execution, allocating necessary resources and setting up the execution environment. Together, they ensure that programs are correctly assembled and prepared for execution on a computer.
