Build systems below the IDE

Toolchains, linkers, loaders, and ForgeVM debugger planning

A professional desk for the tools that turn code into executable behavior.

Toolchain desks

GNU ld / gold / LLD / MSVC LINK

Linkers and Loaders

The professional desk for object files, relocation, symbols, sections, dynamic loading, and the future ForgeVM linker.

ForgeVM path

Parse ELF/COFF/Mach-O object modelBuild a unified relocation IRImplement symbol table and archive scanningEmit executable imagesAdd map-file diagnosticsIntegrate with ForgeVM debugger breakpoints
clang / gcc / cl.exe / rustc

Compiler Drivers and Build Pipelines

How clang, gcc, cl, rustc, assemblers, linkers, libc, SDKs, and build systems form one executable pipeline.

ForgeVM path

Create forgevm cc driverDefine target triplesRoute assembly to selected assemblerRoute objects to ForgeVM linkerEmit reproducible build logs
GDB / LLDB / WinDbg / rr

Debugger and Binary Tooling

The future ForgeVM debugger space: symbols, stack walking, breakpoints, memory maps, disassembly, and process control.
