makerpl Overview
The primary tasks of makerpl[32|64] are:
- Generate an RPL file in ELF-format to be used with Cafe, with specific section and data organization and extensions for imports/exports.
- Generate an import library (
.a) that allows for automatic use of code and data from one RPL by another RPL. - Allows for stripping/obfuscation and efficiency optimizations of output RPX/RPL file.
preprpl[32|64] is used prior to linking. The Linker produces a temporary
.ELF file as output that is then passed to makerpl[32|64].
The makerpl[32|64] tool takes the temporary file as input and produces both
an import library (.a) and a final extended .ELF format file with the
extension .RPX or .RPL
The import library can be used as an input to lin.ELFking to make other .RPL
files that are automatically, dynamically linked at runtime by the OS.
