Optimizing Linker

Project Lissom is developing environment for design application specific processors or SoC(System on Chip). Developing of software for these processors are based on using standard libraries offered by programming languages. Main problem of these libraries is in their extensiveness, because programmers often use only a small part of functions contained in included libraries. This may cause that even a tiny looking program needs large storage space and the program will not fit in the system memory. This work is about implementation of link-time optimizer, which inserts into output program only needed function from libraries. This code-size reduction is based on technique called unreachable code elimination
