Link Time Errors
These errors occur after the compiler has produced the object code for
a file, when the linker is putting together the entire program to make
the executable.
If we have used a function which the linker did not find in any files
or libraries it is linking.
You saw an example of this in
stock1.c
and in
hw0
when you tried to compile
helloworld.c
by itself (after you fixed the
syntax error)
which looked like:
/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
goodbye_cruel_world (code)
Tip
One of the most common causes of link time errors is mispelling
the name of the function you REALLY intended to use.
