ld64

This repo is a mirror of ld64 source dumps from opensource.apple.com. This is useful for diffing changes between Xcode versions and building the linker yourself locally.

NOTE: As of Xcode 15 Apple launched a new linker which is not open source. This source code corresponds to the legacy version which you get by passing -ld_classic to the linker that ships with Xcode.

Building

If you would like to build ld64 yourself, which can be useful for debugging linker issues, you can use these branches depending on what ld64 version you want to test:

• buildable-16.0
• buildable-15.3
• buildable-15.0
• buildable-13.2.1
• buildable-12.0
