...In compiled languages like C, C++, and Rust, the linking phase can become a significant bottleneck, especially in large codebases, and mold addresses this by leveraging highly optimized algorithms and extensive parallelism. It is capable of utilizing all available CPU cores efficiently, resulting in significantly faster linking compared to other popular linkers such as GNU ld, gold, and LLVM lld. The tool is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing build systems, requiring minimal configuration changes to adopt. Mold supports a wide range of architectures, including x86-64, ARM, RISC-V, and PowerPC, making it suitable for diverse development environments.
