zld — A Faster Version of Apple's Linker

Read Original

This article details zld, an optimized replacement for Apple's linker (ld) that uses better data structures and parallelization to significantly reduce build times for Xcode projects. It covers installation via Homebrew, integration into projects with a wrapper script for optional use, performance benchmarks showing a 25% improvement, and notes current limitations like issues with the Swift trunk toolchain and Mac Catalyst builds.
