Summary A Modern Linker
Description mold is a high-performance drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers. It is several times faster than LLVM lld linker, the (then-) fastest open-source linker which I originally created a few years ago. Here is a performance comparison of GNU gold, LLVM lld, and mold for linking final executables of major large programs.
