Everything I wish they told me about linkers

On June, 15th, we have the honor to welcome Ofek Shilon to our user group. Ofek is a Mathematics-MA by training, but a 20Y C++ developer/writer/speaker in both the Linux and MS universes. Fascinated by compilers, debuggers and pretty much anything low level. Fiercely hated by his cat for no apparent reason

Abstract: When moving between Linux and Windows, many fundamental things behave differently and in surprising ways - in particular in linkers. If your co-workers have spent their careers on a single OS, these behaviors might seem to them as too fundamental to even explain.

This talk would give a crash-intro to linkers and explore just enough of their architecture and internals to understand some observable differences in C++ builds between the windows-verse and the linux-verse. We will also touch rant on what the C++ standard has to say on these matters.
