Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computer science, link time refers to either the operations performed by a linker (ie, link time operations) or programming language requirements that must be met by compiled source code for it to be successfully linked (ie, link time requirements). The operations performed at link time usually include fixing up the addresses of externally referenced objects and functions, various kinds of cross module checks (eg, type checks on externally visible identifiers and in some languages instantiation of template). Some optimizing compilers delay code generation until link time because it is here that information about a complete program is available to them.
