-Linker shim that enables the use of "Use Library Dependency Inputs" on |
-large exe/dlls via Visual Studio. |
- |
-That flag is required to enable useful incremental linking, however, with a |
-large number of objects in components, the linker fails with: |
- |
-...RSP00002E45885644.rsp : fatal error LNK1170: line in command file contains 131071 or more characters |
- |
-This seems to be that the IDE team didn't talk to the linker team; the |
-response file can handle long commands, just all the files can't be on |
-*one* line which is what the IDE generates. |
- |
-So, this program simply replaces link.exe, fixes the response file, and |
-then shells to the original linker. Ridiculous? Yes. Faster links? Yes. |
- |
-Compile/install with install_supalink.py. Run from cmd.exe as Administrator, |
-and make sure to run vsvars32.bat first. |
