This would involve implementing a reader and writer for ELF relocatable objects (typically .o files), as well as writing somewhat of a linker to link different object files together.

TODOs

  • Read and write ELF relocatable objects
  • Add a section directive to DSA Assembly
  • Write a linker to statically link the relocatable objects together, resolving symbols as required.
  • Add a Clap interface to the assembler allowing for a --format option.
  • Make the linker into a separate program/library accepting a list of object files
  • (At a stretch) Support linker scripts lmao

This will be done on a separate ELF branch in order to merge later when the feature is mostly complete.

This can be assigned to @nullndvoid but anyone can help so long as the work is done on the elf branch.

@nullndvoid we can probably tick the section directive as we have that encoded in the instruction set, unless you had a different implementation in mind?

we probably want super detailed / customisable log levels
