Linking

A module may refer to names defined in other modules with the aid of use and import declarations. If a module is compiled before one or more of the modules to which it refers, the resulting module object will be incomplete. An incomplete module is analogous to a object module (a ``.o file'' ) with undefined external references. The SDL linker takes a set of incomplete modules that contain only references to each other and to complete modules, and resolves the references.
