Warning: this is hearsay, kinda - it came from someone at DEC, but it was
not through official channels. I thought that this is probably the fastest
way to get confirmation or otherwise of this. Don't go and sell stock or
do anything else dramatic based on this info.
I was told today that we should not be relying on using ild, the
incremental linker, as 'its performance was not meeting expectations,
and it will be scrapped soon'. Is this true? If so, who do we write to
to complain to? While ild is not up to the same speed as, say PureLink
on a Sun, it's a helluva lot better than linking with the standard ld
(especially when your executables hit > 20M)
Many thanks,
Anthony
