Introduction

A simple program using ELF linker set to construct lists of arithmetic implementations automatically.

The linker takes collections of definitions, separates them into different sections (e.g. code and data), and concatenates each section into a contiguous block of memory. The effect is that although you can interleave code and data in your C source file, the linker disentangles the little pieces into one code section and one data section.

You can also define your own sections, if you like, by using gcc declaration attributes, so the linker will gather the declarations together in your binary regardless of how spread out they were in the source.
