Linker and loader in c language?

There is no such thing in the C language, but it is true that operating systems have a component called loader which loads binary program-files (whose source may be written in C language) into the memory and prepares them to the execution.


Why static library are attached to w program via the linker while shared libraries are attached by the loader?

Because static libraries are, well, STATIC. They are LINKed STATICally to the program by the LINKer. Shared libraries are SHARED. They are linked by the LOADer when LOADed to SHARED libraries in system memory.


What is object linker?

In computer science, a linker or link editor is a program that takes one or more objects generated by a compiler and combines them into a single executable program.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkerThis is a response to the question, "What is object linker?". The appropriate question would have been, "What is a linker or link editor in the field of Computer Science and Software Engineering?". Note that a linker is called a loader when it refers to a run-time process. Linkers refer to compile-time processes.


What is a short note on linking error in c plus plus?

A linking error usually denotes some inconsistency between a function's declaration and its definition, typically meaning there is no matching definition for the declared function (an undefined function). Normally this is only a problem if the function is actually called since unused functions are of no concern to the linker, whether defined or not. Linker errors may not relate to errors within your code. An undefined function could simply be the result of not providing the linker with the full path to a function that is implemented in a library. The linker also needs access to all the object files generated by the compiler. If the linker options are correct then the problem is most likely that you've failed to define a declared function.
