Title: clear explanation of concepts
Product review: Whatever the hardware and operating system you are using, Levine offers a general explanation of what a linker and loader do. If you deal just in a high level language like C++ or Java, this book can help you appreciate what goes on at a lower level. Notably, the unix ELF and Microsoft Portable Formats are expounded on.You might also find tips to improve your code performance. Perhaps by finding that your storage allocation could be reduced. Or maybe you want to write relocatable code for dynamic linking.All told in a style that shows ideas clearly. Without getting bogged down in the syntax of a given CPU or operating system.
