Method Detail

getLibraryKey

public java.lang.String getLibraryKey(java.io.File libname)
Extracts the significant part of a library name to ensure there aren't collisions


getLibraryPath

public java.io.File[] getLibraryPath()
returns the library path for the linker


getLibraryPatterns

public java.lang.String[] getLibraryPatterns(java.lang.String[] libnames,
                                             LibraryTypeEnum libraryType)
Returns a set of filename patterns corresponding to library names. For example, "advapi32" would be expanded to "advapi32.dll" by DevStudioLinker and to "libadvapi32.a" and "libadvapi32.so" by GccLinker.

Parameters:
libnames - array of library names

getLinker

public Linker getLinker(LinkType linkType)
Gets the linker for the specified link type.

Specified by:
getLinker in interface Processor
Returns:
appropriate linker or null, will return this if this linker can handle the specified link type

isCaseSensitive

public boolean isCaseSensitive()
Returns true if the linker is case-sensitive
