+@section a.out backends
+
+
+@strong{Description}@*
+BFD supports a number of different flavours of a.out format,
+though the major differences are only the sizes of the
+structures on disk, and the shape of the relocation
+information.
+
+The support is split into a basic support file @file{aoutx.h}
+and other files which derive functions from the base. One
+derivation file is @file{aoutf1.h} (for a.out flavour 1), and
+adds to the basic a.out functions support for sun3, sun4, 386
+and 29k a.out files, to create a target jump vector for a
+specific target.
+
+This information is further split out into more specific files
+for each machine, including @file{sunos.c} for sun3 and sun4,
+@file{newsos3.c} for the Sony NEWS, and @file{demo64.c} for a
+demonstration of a 64 bit a.out format.
+
+The base file @file{aoutx.h} defines general mechanisms for
+reading and writing records to and from disk and various
+other methods which BFD requires. It is included by
+@file{aout32.c} and @file{aout64.c} to form the names
+@code{aout_32_swap_exec_header_in}, @code{aout_64_swap_exec_header_in}, etc.
+
+As an example, this is what goes on to make the back end for a
+sun4, from @file{aout32.c}:
+
+@example
+ #define ARCH_SIZE 32
+ #include "aoutx.h"
+@end example
+
+Which exports names:
+
+@example
+ ...
+ aout_32_canonicalize_reloc
+ aout_32_find_nearest_line
+ aout_32_get_lineno
+ aout_32_get_reloc_upper_bound
+ ...
+@end example
+
+from @file{sunos.c}:
+
+@example
+ #define TARGET_NAME "a.out-sunos-big"
+ #define VECNAME sunos_big_vec
+ #include "aoutf1.h"
+@end example
+
+requires all the names from @file{aout32.c}, and produces the jump vector
+
+@example
+ sunos_big_vec
+@end example
+
+The file @file{host-aout.c} is a special case. It is for a large set
+of hosts that use ``more or less standard'' a.out files, and
+for which cross-debugging is not interesting. It uses the
+standard 32-bit a.out support routines, but determines the
+file offsets and addresses of the text, data, and BSS
+sections, the machine architecture and machine type, and the
+entry point address, in a host-dependent manner. Once these
+values have been determined, generic code is used to handle
+the object file.
+
+When porting it to run on a new system, you must supply:
+
+@example
+ HOST_PAGE_SIZE
+ HOST_SEGMENT_SIZE
+ HOST_MACHINE_ARCH (optional)
+ HOST_MACHINE_MACHINE (optional)
+ HOST_TEXT_START_ADDR
+ HOST_STACK_END_ADDR
+@end example
+
+in the file @file{../include/sys/h-@var{XXX}.h} (for your host). These
+values, plus the structures and macros defined in @file{a.out.h} on
+your host system, will produce a BFD target that will access
+ordinary a.out files on your host. To configure a new machine
+to use @file{host-aout.c}, specify:
+
+@example
+ TDEFAULTS = -DDEFAULT_VECTOR=host_aout_big_vec
+ TDEPFILES= host-aout.o trad-core.o
+@end example
+
+in the @file{config/@var{XXX}.mt} file, and modify @file{configure.in}
+to use the
+@file{@var{XXX}.mt} file (by setting "@code{bfd_target=XXX}") when your
+configuration is selected.
+
+@subsection Relocations
+
+
+@strong{Description}@*
+The file @file{aoutx.h} provides for both the @emph{standard}
+and @emph{extended} forms of a.out relocation records.
+
+The standard records contain only an
+address, a symbol index, and a type field. The extended records
+(used on 29ks and sparcs) also have a full integer for an
+addend.
+
+@subsection Internal entry points
+
+
+@strong{Description}@*
+@file{aoutx.h} exports several routines for accessing the
+contents of an a.out file, which are gathered and exported in
+turn by various format specific files (eg sunos.c).

+@section Archives
+
+
+@strong{Description}@*
+An archive (or library) is just another BFD. It has a symbol
+table, although there's not much a user program will do with it.
+
+The big difference between an archive BFD and an ordinary BFD
+is that the archive doesn't have sections. Instead it has a
+chain of BFDs that are considered its contents. These BFDs can
+be manipulated like any other. The BFDs contained in an
+archive opened for reading will all be opened for reading. You
+may put either input or output BFDs into an archive opened for
+output; they will be handled correctly when the archive is closed.
+
+Use @code{bfd_openr_next_archived_file} to step through
+the contents of an archive opened for input. You don't
+have to read the entire archive if you don't want
+to! Read it until you find what you want.
+
+Archive contents of output BFDs are chained through the
+@code{next} pointer in a BFD. The first one is findable through
+the @code{archive_head} slot of the archive. Set it with
+@code{bfd_set_archive_head} (q.v.). A given BFD may be in only one
+open output archive at a time.
+
+As expected, the BFD archive code is more general than the
+archive code of any given environment. BFD archives may
+contain files of different formats (e.g., a.out and coff) and
+even different architectures. You may even place archives
+recursively into archives!
+
+This can cause unexpected confusion, since some archive
+formats are more expressive than others. For instance, Intel
+COFF archives can preserve long filenames; SunOS a.out archives
+cannot. If you move a file from the first to the second
+format and back again, the filename may be truncated.
+Likewise, different a.out environments have different
+conventions as to how they truncate filenames, whether they
+preserve directory names in filenames, etc. When
+interoperating with native tools, be sure your files are
+homogeneous.
+
+Beware: most of these formats do not react well to the
+presence of spaces in filenames. We do the best we can, but
+can't always handle this case due to restrictions in the format of
+archives. Many Unix utilities are braindead in regards to
+spaces and such in filenames anyway, so this shouldn't be much
+of a restriction.
+
+Archives are supported in BFD in @code{archive.c}.
+
+@subsection Archive functions
+
+
+@findex bfd_get_next_mapent
+@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_next_mapent}
+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example
+symindex bfd_get_next_mapent
+ (bfd *abfd, symindex previous, carsym **sym);
+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+Step through archive @var{abfd}'s symbol table (if it
+has one). Successively update @var{sym} with the next symbol's
+information, returning that symbol's (internal) index into the
+symbol table.
+
+Supply @code{BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS} as the @var{previous} entry to get
+the first one; returns @code{BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS} when you've already
+got the last one.
+
+A @code{carsym} is a canonical archive symbol. The only
+user-visible element is its name, a null-terminated string.

+Provided a BFD, @var{archive}, containing an archive and NULL, open
+an input BFD on the first contained element and returns that.
+Subsequent calls should pass

+BFD to the next contained element. NULL is returned when there

+@section Architectures
+BFD keeps one atom in a BFD describing the
+architecture of the data attached to the BFD: a pointer to a
+@code{bfd_arch_info_type}.
+
+Pointers to structures can be requested independently of a BFD
+so that an architecture's information can be interrogated
+without access to an open BFD.
+
+The architecture information is provided by each architecture package.
+The set of default architectures is selected by the macro
+@code{SELECT_ARCHITECTURES}. This is normally set up in the
+@file{config/@var{target}.mt} file of your choice. If the name is not
+defined, then all the architectures supported are included.
+
+When BFD starts up, all the architectures are called with an
+initialize method. It is up to the architecture back end to
+insert as many items into the list of architectures as it wants to;
+generally this would be one for each machine and one for the
+default case (an item with a machine field of 0).
+
+BFD's idea of an architecture is implemented in @file{archures.c}.
+
+@subsection bfd_architecture
+
+
+@strong{Description}@*
+This enum gives the object file's CPU architecture, in a
+global sense---i.e., what processor family does it belong to?
+Another field indicates which processor within
+the family is in use. The machine gives a number which
+distinguishes different versions of the architecture,
+containing, for example, 2 and 3 for Intel i960 KA and i960 KB,
+and 68020 and 68030 for Motorola 68020 and 68030.

+1 Introduction
+**************
+
+BFD is a package which allows applications to use the same routines to
+operate on object files whatever the object file format. A new object
+file format can be supported simply by creating a new BFD back end and
+adding it to the library.
+
+ BFD is split into two parts: the front end, and the back ends (one
+for each object file format).
+ * The front end of BFD provides the interface to the user. It manages
+ memory and various canonical data structures. The front end also
+ decides which back end to use and when to call back end routines.
+
+ * The back ends provide BFD its view of the real world. Each back
+ end provides a set of calls which the BFD front end can use to
+ maintain its canonical form. The back ends also may keep around
+ information for their own use, for greater efficiency.

+File: bfd.info, Node: History, Next: How It Works, Prev: Overview, Up: Overview
+
+1.1 History
+===========
+
+One spur behind BFD was the desire, on the part of the GNU 960 team at
+Intel Oregon, for interoperability of applications on their COFF and
+b.out file formats. Cygnus was providing GNU support for the team, and
+was contracted to provide the required functionality.
+
+ The name came from a conversation David Wallace was having with
+Richard Stallman about the library: RMS said that it would be quite
+hard--David said "BFD". Stallman was right, but the name stuck.
+
+ At the same time, Ready Systems wanted much the same thing, but for
+different object file formats: IEEE-695, Oasys, Srecords, a.out and 68k
+coff.
+
+ BFD was first implemented by members of Cygnus Support; Steve
+Chamberlain (`sac@cygnus.com'), John Gilmore (`gnu@cygnus.com'), K.
+Richard Pixley (`rich@cygnus.com') and David Henkel-Wallace
+(`gumby@cygnus.com').
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: How It Works, Next: What BFD Version 2 Can Do, Prev: History, Up: Overview
+
+1.2 How To Use BFD
+==================
+
+To use the library, include `bfd.h' and link with `libbfd.a'.
+
+ BFD provides a common interface to the parts of an object file for a
+calling application.
+
+ When an application successfully opens a target file (object,
+archive, or whatever), a pointer to an internal structure is returned.
+This pointer points to a structure called `bfd', described in `bfd.h'.
+Our convention is to call this pointer a BFD, and instances of it
+within code `abfd'. All operations on the target object file are
+applied as methods to the BFD. The mapping is defined within `bfd.h'
+in a set of macros, all beginning with `bfd_' to reduce namespace
+pollution.
+
+ For example, this sequence does what you would probably expect:
+return the number of sections in an object file attached to a BFD
+`abfd'.
+
+ #include "bfd.h"
+
+ unsigned int number_of_sections (abfd)
+ bfd *abfd;
+ {
+ return bfd_count_sections (abfd);
+ }
+
+ The abstraction used within BFD is that an object file has:
+
+ * a header,
+
+ * a number of sections containing raw data (*note Sections::),
+
+ * a set of relocations (*note Relocations::), and
+
+ * some symbol information (*note Symbols::).
+ Also, BFDs opened for archives have the additional attribute of an
+index and contain subordinate BFDs. This approach is fine for a.out and
+coff, but loses efficiency when applied to formats such as S-records and
+IEEE-695.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: What BFD Version 2 Can Do, Prev: How It Works, Up: Overview
+
+1.3 What BFD Version 2 Can Do
+=============================
+
+When an object file is opened, BFD subroutines automatically determine
+the format of the input object file. They then build a descriptor in
+memory with pointers to routines that will be used to access elements of
+the object file's data structures.
+
+ As different information from the object files is required, BFD
+reads from different sections of the file and processes them. For
+example, a very common operation for the linker is processing symbol
+tables. Each BFD back end provides a routine for converting between
+the object file's representation of symbols and an internal canonical
+format. When the linker asks for the symbol table of an object file, it
+calls through a memory pointer to the routine from the relevant BFD
+back end which reads and converts the table into a canonical form. The
+linker then operates upon the canonical form. When the link is finished
+and the linker writes the output file's symbol table, another BFD back
+end routine is called to take the newly created symbol table and
+convert it into the chosen output format.

+
+1.3.1 Information Loss
+----------------------
+
+_Information can be lost during output._ The output formats supported
+by BFD do not provide identical facilities, and information which can
+be described in one form has nowhere to go in another format. One
+example of this is alignment information in `b.out'. There is nowhere
+in an `a.out' format file to store alignment information on the
+contained data, so when a file is linked from `b.out' and an `a.out'
+image is produced, alignment information will not propagate to the
+output file. (The linker will still use the alignment information
+internally, so the link is performed correctly).
+
+ Another example is COFF section names. COFF files may contain an
+unlimited number of sections, each one with a textual section name. If
+the target of the link is a format which does not have many sections
+(e.g., `a.out') or has sections without names (e.g., the Oasys format),
+the link cannot be done simply. You can circumvent this problem by
+describing the desired input-to-output section mapping with the linker
+command language.
+
+ _Information can be lost during canonicalization._ The BFD internal
+canonical form of the external formats is not exhaustive; there are
+structures in input formats for which there is no direct representation
+internally. This means that the BFD back ends cannot maintain all
+possible data richness through the transformation between external to
+internal and back to external formats.
+
+ This limitation is only a problem when an application reads one
+format and writes another. Each BFD back end is responsible for
+maintaining as much data as possible, and the internal BFD canonical
+form has structures which are opaque to the BFD core, and exported only
+to the back ends. When a file is read in one format, the canonical form
+is generated for BFD and the application. At the same time, the back
+end saves away any information which may otherwise be lost. If the data
+is then written back in the same format, the back end routine will be
+able to use the canonical form provided by the BFD core as well as the
+information it prepared earlier. Since there is a great deal of
+commonality between back ends, there is no information lost when
+linking or copying big endian COFF to little endian COFF, or `a.out' to
+`b.out'. When a mixture of formats is linked, the information is only
+lost from the files whose format differs from the destination.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Canonical format, Prev: BFD information loss, Up: What BFD Version 2 Can Do
+
+1.3.2 The BFD canonical object-file format
+------------------------------------------
+
+The greatest potential for loss of information occurs when there is the
+least overlap between the information provided by the source format,
+that stored by the canonical format, and that needed by the destination
+format. A brief description of the canonical form may help you
+understand which kinds of data you can count on preserving across
+conversions.
+
+_files_
+ Information stored on a per-file basis includes target machine
+ architecture, particular implementation format type, a demand
+ pageable bit, and a write protected bit. Information like Unix
+ magic numbers is not stored here--only the magic numbers' meaning,
+ so a `ZMAGIC' file would have both the demand pageable bit and the
+ write protected text bit set. The byte order of the target is
+ stored on a per-file basis, so that big- and little-endian object
+ files may be used with one another.
+
+_sections_
+ Each section in the input file contains the name of the section,
+ the section's original address in the object file, size and
+ alignment information, various flags, and pointers into other BFD
+ data structures.
+
+_symbols_
+ Each symbol contains a pointer to the information for the object
+ file which originally defined it, its name, its value, and various
+ flag bits. When a BFD back end reads in a symbol table, it
+ relocates all symbols to make them relative to the base of the
+ section where they were defined. Doing this ensures that each
+ symbol points to its containing section. Each symbol also has a
+ varying amount of hidden private data for the BFD back end. Since
+ the symbol points to the original file, the private data format
+ for that symbol is accessible. `ld' can operate on a collection
+ of symbols of wildly different formats without problems.
+
+ Normal global and simple local symbols are maintained on output,
+ so an output file (no matter its format) will retain symbols
+ pointing to functions and to global, static, and common variables.
+ Some symbol information is not worth retaining; in `a.out', type
+ information is stored in the symbol table as long symbol names.
+ This information would be useless to most COFF debuggers; the
+ linker has command line switches to allow users to throw it away.
+
+ There is one word of type information within the symbol, so if the
+ format supports symbol type information within symbols (for
+ example, COFF, IEEE, Oasys) and the type is simple enough to fit
+ within one word (nearly everything but aggregates), the
+ information will be preserved.
+
+_relocation level_
+ Each canonical BFD relocation record contains a pointer to the
+ symbol to relocate to, the offset of the data to relocate, the
+ section the data is in, and a pointer to a relocation type
+ descriptor. Relocation is performed by passing messages through
+ the relocation type descriptor and the symbol pointer. Therefore,
+ relocations can be performed on output data using a relocation
+ method that is only available in one of the input formats. For
+ instance, Oasys provides a byte relocation format. A relocation
+ record requesting this relocation type would point indirectly to a
+ routine to perform this, so the relocation may be performed on a
+ byte being written to a 68k COFF file, even though 68k COFF has no
+ such relocation type.
+
+_line numbers_
+ Object formats can contain, for debugging purposes, some form of
+ mapping between symbols, source line numbers, and addresses in the
+ output file. These addresses have to be relocated along with the
+ symbol information. Each symbol with an associated list of line
+ number records points to the first record of the list. The head
+ of a line number list consists of a pointer to the symbol, which
+ allows finding out the address of the function whose line number
+ is being described. The rest of the list is made up of pairs:
+ offsets into the section and line numbers. Any format which can
+ simply derive this information can pass it successfully between
+ formats (COFF, IEEE and Oasys).

+2.2 Error reporting
+===================
+
+Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their individual
+documentation for precise semantics). On an error, they call
+`bfd_set_error' to set an error condition that callers can check by
+calling `bfd_get_error'. If that returns `bfd_error_system_call', then
+check `errno'.
+
+ The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to use
+`bfd_perror'.
+
+2.2.1 Type `bfd_error_type'
+---------------------------
+
+The values returned by `bfd_get_error' are defined by the enumerated
+type `bfd_error_type'.
+
+
+ typedef enum bfd_error
+ {
+ bfd_error_no_error = 0,
+ bfd_error_system_call,
+ bfd_error_invalid_target,

+ bfd_error_wrong_object_format,
+ bfd_error_invalid_operation,
+ bfd_error_no_memory,

+
+2.2.1.2 `bfd_set_error'
+.......................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_set_error (bfd_error_type error_tag, ...);
+ *Description*
+Set the BFD error condition to be ERROR_TAG. If ERROR_TAG is

+2.2.1.3 `bfd_errmsg'
+....................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ const char *bfd_errmsg (bfd_error_type error_tag);
+ *Description*
+Return a string describing the error ERROR_TAG, or the system error if
+ERROR_TAG is `bfd_error_system_call'.
+
+2.2.1.4 `bfd_perror'
+....................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_perror (const char *message);
+ *Description*
+Print to the standard error stream a string describing the last BFD
+error that occurred, or the last system error if the last BFD error was
+a system call failure. If MESSAGE is non-NULL and non-empty, the error
+string printed is preceded by MESSAGE, a colon, and a space. It is
+followed by a newline.
+
+2.2.2 BFD error handler
+-----------------------
+
+Some BFD functions want to print messages describing the problem. They
+call a BFD error handler function. This function may be overridden by
+the program.
+
+ The BFD error handler acts like printf.
+
+
+ typedef void (*bfd_error_handler_type) (const char *, ...);

+2.2.2.1 `bfd_set_error_handler'
+...............................
+
+*Synopsis*

+ void bfd_set_error_program_name (const char *);
+ *Description*
+Set the program name to use when printing a BFD error. This is printed
+before the error message followed by a colon and space. The string
+must not be changed after it is passed to this function.
+
+2.2.2.3 `bfd_get_error_handler'
+...............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_error_handler_type bfd_get_error_handler (void);

+
+2.3.1.1 `bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound'
+...................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ long bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound (bfd *abfd, asection *sect);

+2.3.1.2 `bfd_canonicalize_reloc'
+................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ long bfd_canonicalize_reloc
+ (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **loc, asymbol **syms);
+ *Description*
+Call the back end associated with the open BFD ABFD and translate the
+external form of the relocation information attached to SEC into the
+internal canonical form. Place the table into memory at LOC, which has
+been preallocated, usually by a call to `bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound'.
+Returns the number of relocs, or -1 on error.
+
+ The SYMS table is also needed for horrible internal magic reasons.
+
+2.3.1.3 `bfd_set_reloc'
+.......................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_set_reloc
+ (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **rel, unsigned int count);
+ *Description*
+Set the relocation pointer and count within section SEC to the values
+REL and COUNT. The argument ABFD is ignored.
+
+2.3.1.4 `bfd_set_file_flags'
+............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_set_file_flags (bfd *abfd, flagword flags);
+ *Description*
+Set the flag word in the BFD ABFD to the value FLAGS.
+
+ Possible errors are:
+ * `bfd_error_wrong_format' - The target bfd was not of object format.
+
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - The target bfd was open for
+ reading.
+
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - The flag word contained a bit
+ which was not applicable to the type of file. E.g., an attempt
+ was made to set the `D_PAGED' bit on a BFD format which does not
+ support demand paging.
+
+2.3.1.5 `bfd_get_arch_size'
+...........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ int bfd_get_arch_size (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Returns the architecture address size, in bits, as determined by the
+object file's format. For ELF, this information is included in the
+header.
+
+ *Returns*
+Returns the arch size in bits if known, `-1' otherwise.
+
+2.3.1.6 `bfd_get_sign_extend_vma'
+.................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ int bfd_get_sign_extend_vma (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends an
+address. Some architectures implicitly sign extend address values when
+they are converted to types larger than the size of an address. For
+instance, bfd_get_start_address() will return an address sign extended
+to fill a bfd_vma when this is the case.
+
+ *Returns*
+Returns `1' if the target architecture is known to sign extend
+addresses, `0' if the target architecture is known to not sign extend
+addresses, and `-1' otherwise.
+
+2.3.1.7 `bfd_set_start_address'
+...............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_set_start_address (bfd *abfd, bfd_vma vma);

+2.3.1.8 `bfd_get_gp_size'
+.........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ unsigned int bfd_get_gp_size (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Return the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP
+register under MIPS ECOFF. This is typically set by the `-G' argument
+to the compiler, assembler or linker.
+
+2.3.1.9 `bfd_set_gp_size'
+.........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_set_gp_size (bfd *abfd, unsigned int i);
+ *Description*
+Set the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP register
+under ECOFF or MIPS ELF. This is typically set by the `-G' argument to
+the compiler, assembler or linker.

+2.3.1.10 `bfd_scan_vma'
+.......................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_vma bfd_scan_vma (const char *string, const char **end, int base);
+ *Description*
+Convert, like `strtoul', a numerical expression STRING into a `bfd_vma'
+integer, and return that integer. (Though without as many bells and
+whistles as `strtoul'.) The expression is assumed to be unsigned
+(i.e., positive). If given a BASE, it is used as the base for
+conversion. A base of 0 causes the function to interpret the string in
+hex if a leading "0x" or "0X" is found, otherwise in octal if a leading
+zero is found, otherwise in decimal.
+
+ If the value would overflow, the maximum `bfd_vma' value is returned.
+
+2.3.1.11 `bfd_copy_private_header_data'
+.......................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_copy_private_header_data (bfd *ibfd, bfd *obfd);
+ *Description*
+Copy private BFD header information from the BFD IBFD to the the BFD
+OBFD. This copies information that may require sections to exist, but
+does not require symbol tables. Return `true' on success, `false' on
+error. Possible error returns are:

+ *Description*
+When more than one machine code number is available for the same
+machine type, this function can be used to switch between the preferred
+one (alternative == 0) and any others. Currently, only ELF supports
+this feature, with up to two alternate machine codes.

+
+2.3.1.17 `bfd_preserve_save'
+............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_preserve_save (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
+ *Description*
+When testing an object for compatibility with a particular target
+back-end, the back-end object_p function needs to set up certain fields
+in the bfd on successfully recognizing the object. This typically
+happens in a piecemeal fashion, with failures possible at many points.
+On failure, the bfd is supposed to be restored to its initial state,
+which is virtually impossible. However, restoring a subset of the bfd
+state works in practice. This function stores the subset and
+reinitializes the bfd.
+
+2.3.1.18 `bfd_preserve_restore'
+...............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_preserve_restore (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
+ *Description*
+This function restores bfd state saved by bfd_preserve_save. If MARKER
+is non-NULL in struct bfd_preserve then that block and all subsequently
+bfd_alloc'd memory is freed.
+
+2.3.1.19 `bfd_preserve_finish'
+..............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_preserve_finish (bfd *, struct bfd_preserve *);
+ *Description*
+This function should be called when the bfd state saved by
+bfd_preserve_save is no longer needed. ie. when the back-end object_p
+function returns with success.

+2.3.1.24 `bfd_demangle'
+.......................
+
+*Synopsis*

+v3 ABI mangled name, returns a buffer allocated with malloc holding the
+demangled name. Returns NULL otherwise and on memory alloc failure.
+
+2.3.1.25 `struct bfd_iovec'
+...........................
+
+*Description*
+The `struct bfd_iovec' contains the internal file I/O class. Each
+`BFD' has an instance of this class and all file I/O is routed through
+it (it is assumed that the instance implements all methods listed
+below).

+ {
+ /* To avoid problems with macros, a "b" rather than "f"
+ prefix is prepended to each method name. */
+ /* Attempt to read/write NBYTES on ABFD's IOSTREAM storing/fetching

+ };
+
+2.3.1.26 `bfd_get_mtime'
+........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ long bfd_get_mtime (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Return the file modification time (as read from the file system, or
+from the archive header for archive members).
+
+2.3.1.27 `bfd_get_size'
+.......................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ file_ptr bfd_get_size (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file associated
+with BFD ABFD.
+
+ The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not so we
+can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since that
+might not be generally possible (archive members for example). It
+would be ideal if someone could eventually modify it so that such
+results were guaranteed.
+
+ Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
+object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?" As as
+example of where we might do this, some object formats use string
+tables for which the first `sizeof (long)' bytes of the table contain
+the size of the table itself, including the size bytes. If an
+application tries to read what it thinks is one of these string tables,
+without some way to validate the size, and for some reason the size is
+wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location for the string table, etc.),
+the only clue is likely to be a read error when it tries to read the
+table, or a "virtual memory exhausted" error when it tries to allocate
+15 bazillon bytes of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about
+to read. This function at least allows us to answer the question, "is
+the size reasonable?".
+
+2.3.1.28 `bfd_mmap'
+...................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void *bfd_mmap (bfd *abfd, void *addr, bfd_size_type len,
+ int prot, int flags, file_ptr offset);
+ *Description*
+Return mmap()ed region of the file, if possible and implemented.

+
+2.4 Memory Usage
+================
+
+BFD keeps all of its internal structures in obstacks. There is one
+obstack per open BFD file, into which the current state is stored. When
+a BFD is closed, the obstack is deleted, and so everything which has
+been allocated by BFD for the closing file is thrown away.
+
+ BFD does not free anything created by an application, but pointers
+into `bfd' structures become invalid on a `bfd_close'; for example,
+after a `bfd_close' the vector passed to `bfd_canonicalize_symtab' is
+still around, since it has been allocated by the application, but the
+data that it pointed to are lost.
+
+ The general rule is to not close a BFD until all operations dependent
+upon data from the BFD have been completed, or all the data from within
+the file has been copied. To help with the management of memory, there
+is a function (`bfd_alloc_size') which returns the number of bytes in
+obstacks associated with the supplied BFD. This could be used to select
+the greediest open BFD, close it to reclaim the memory, perform some
+operation and reopen the BFD again, to get a fresh copy of the data
+structures.

+2.5 Initialization
+==================
+
+2.5.1 Initialization functions
+------------------------------
+
+These are the functions that handle initializing a BFD.
+
+2.5.1.1 `bfd_init'
+..................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_init (void);
+ *Description*
+This routine must be called before any other BFD function to initialize
+magical internal data structures.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Sections, Next: Symbols, Prev: Initialization, Up: BFD front end
+
+2.6 Sections
+============
+
+The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the section
+abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of sections. It keeps
+hold of them by pointing to the first; each one points to the next in
+the list.
+
+ Sections are supported in BFD in `section.c'.
+
+* Menu:
+
+* Section Input::
+* Section Output::
+* typedef asection::
+* section prototypes::
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Section Input, Next: Section Output, Prev: Sections, Up: Sections
+
+2.6.1 Section input
+-------------------
+
+When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are created
+and attached to the BFD.
+
+ Each section has a name which describes the section in the outside
+world--for example, `a.out' would contain at least three sections,
+called `.text', `.data' and `.bss'.
+
+ Names need not be unique; for example a COFF file may have several
+sections named `.data'.
+
+ Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the "natural" number of
+sections. A back end may attach other sections containing constructor
+data, or an application may add a section (using `bfd_make_section') to
+the sections attached to an already open BFD. For example, the linker
+creates an extra section `COMMON' for each input file's BFD to hold
+information about common storage.
+
+ The raw data is not necessarily read in when the section descriptor
+is created. Some targets may leave the data in place until a
+`bfd_get_section_contents' call is made. Other back ends may read in
+all the data at once. For example, an S-record file has to be read
+once to determine the size of the data. An IEEE-695 file doesn't
+contain raw data in sections, but data and relocation expressions
+intermixed, so the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and
+relocations.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Section Output, Next: typedef asection, Prev: Section Input, Up: Sections
+
+2.6.2 Section output
+--------------------
+
+To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be written
+have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in the same way as
+input sections; data is written to the sections using
+`bfd_set_section_contents'.
+
+ Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler
+and linker) must use the `asection' fields `output_section' and
+`output_offset' to indicate the file sections to which each section
+must be written. (If the section is being created from scratch,
+`output_section' should probably point to the section itself and
+`output_offset' should probably be zero.)
+
+ The data to be written comes from input sections attached (via
+`output_section' pointers) to the output sections. The output section
+structure can be considered a filter for the input section: the output
+section determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
+input section determines the offset into the output section of the data
+to be written.
+
+ E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
+containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (i.e., at vma 0x100) and
+"B" at offset 0x20 (i.e., at vma 0x120) the `asection' structures would
+look like:
+
+ section name "A"
+ output_offset 0x00
+ size 0x20
+ output_section -----------> section name "O"
+ | vma 0x100
+ section name "B" | size 0x123
+ output_offset 0x20 |
+ size 0x103 |
+ output_section --------|
+
+2.6.3 Link orders
+-----------------
+
+The data within a section is stored in a "link_order". These are much
+like the fixups in `gas'. The link_order abstraction allows a section
+to grow and shrink within itself.
+
+ A link_order knows how big it is, and which is the next link_order
+and where the raw data for it is; it also points to a list of
+relocations which apply to it.
+
+ The link_order is used by the linker to perform relaxing on final
+code. The compiler creates code which is as big as necessary to make
+it work without relaxing, and the user can select whether to relax.
+Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of time. The linker runs around the
+relocations to see if any are attached to data which can be shrunk, if
+so it does it on a link_order by link_order basis.

+2.6.5 Section prototypes
+------------------------
+
+These are the functions exported by the section handling part of BFD.
+
+2.6.5.1 `bfd_section_list_clear'
+................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_section_list_clear (bfd *);
+ *Description*
+Clears the section list, and also resets the section count and hash
+table entries.
+
+2.6.5.2 `bfd_get_section_by_name'
+.................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_get_section_by_name (bfd *abfd, const char *name);
+ *Description*
+Run through ABFD and return the one of the `asection's whose name
+matches NAME, otherwise `NULL'. *Note Sections::, for more information.
+
+ This should only be used in special cases; the normal way to process
+all sections of a given name is to use `bfd_map_over_sections' and
+`strcmp' on the name (or better yet, base it on the section flags or
+something else) for each section.
+
+2.6.5.3 `bfd_get_section_by_name_if'
+....................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_get_section_by_name_if
+ (bfd *abfd,
+ const char *name,
+ bfd_boolean (*func) (bfd *abfd, asection *sect, void *obj),
+ void *obj);
+ *Description*
+Call the provided function FUNC for each section attached to the BFD
+ABFD whose name matches NAME, passing OBJ as an argument. The function
+will be called as if by
+
+ func (abfd, the_section, obj);
+
+ It returns the first section for which FUNC returns true, otherwise
+`NULL'.
+
+2.6.5.4 `bfd_get_unique_section_name'
+.....................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ char *bfd_get_unique_section_name
+ (bfd *abfd, const char *templat, int *count);
+ *Description*
+Invent a section name that is unique in ABFD by tacking a dot and a
+digit suffix onto the original TEMPLAT. If COUNT is non-NULL, then it
+specifies the first number tried as a suffix to generate a unique name.
+The value pointed to by COUNT will be incremented in this case.
+
+2.6.5.5 `bfd_make_section_old_way'
+..................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_make_section_old_way (bfd *abfd, const char *name);
+ *Description*
+Create a new empty section called NAME and attach it to the end of the
+chain of sections for the BFD ABFD. An attempt to create a section with
+a name which is already in use returns its pointer without changing the
+section chain.
+
+ It has the funny name since this is the way it used to be before it
+was rewritten....
+
+ Possible errors are:
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - If output has already started for
+ this BFD.
+
+ * `bfd_error_no_memory' - If memory allocation fails.
+
+2.6.5.6 `bfd_make_section_anyway_with_flags'
+............................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_make_section_anyway_with_flags
+ (bfd *abfd, const char *name, flagword flags);
+ *Description*
+Create a new empty section called NAME and attach it to the end of the
+chain of sections for ABFD. Create a new section even if there is
+already a section with that name. Also set the attributes of the new
+section to the value FLAGS.
+
+ Return `NULL' and set `bfd_error' on error; possible errors are:
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - If output has already started for
+ ABFD.
+
+ * `bfd_error_no_memory' - If memory allocation fails.
+
+2.6.5.7 `bfd_make_section_anyway'
+.................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_make_section_anyway (bfd *abfd, const char *name);
+ *Description*
+Create a new empty section called NAME and attach it to the end of the
+chain of sections for ABFD. Create a new section even if there is
+already a section with that name.
+
+ Return `NULL' and set `bfd_error' on error; possible errors are:
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - If output has already started for
+ ABFD.
+
+ * `bfd_error_no_memory' - If memory allocation fails.
+
+2.6.5.8 `bfd_make_section_with_flags'
+.....................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_make_section_with_flags
+ (bfd *, const char *name, flagword flags);
+ *Description*
+Like `bfd_make_section_anyway', but return `NULL' (without calling
+bfd_set_error ()) without changing the section chain if there is
+already a section named NAME. Also set the attributes of the new
+section to the value FLAGS. If there is an error, return `NULL' and set
+`bfd_error'.
+
+2.6.5.9 `bfd_make_section'
+..........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_make_section (bfd *, const char *name);
+ *Description*
+Like `bfd_make_section_anyway', but return `NULL' (without calling
+bfd_set_error ()) without changing the section chain if there is
+already a section named NAME. If there is an error, return `NULL' and
+set `bfd_error'.
+
+2.6.5.10 `bfd_set_section_flags'
+................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_set_section_flags
+ (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, flagword flags);
+ *Description*
+Set the attributes of the section SEC in the BFD ABFD to the value
+FLAGS. Return `TRUE' on success, `FALSE' on error. Possible error
+returns are:
+
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - The section cannot have one or
+ more of the attributes requested. For example, a .bss section in
+ `a.out' may not have the `SEC_HAS_CONTENTS' field set.
+
+2.6.5.11 `bfd_map_over_sections'
+................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ void bfd_map_over_sections
+ (bfd *abfd,
+ void (*func) (bfd *abfd, asection *sect, void *obj),
+ void *obj);
+ *Description*
+Call the provided function FUNC for each section attached to the BFD
+ABFD, passing OBJ as an argument. The function will be called as if by
+
+ func (abfd, the_section, obj);
+
+ This is the preferred method for iterating over sections; an
+alternative would be to use a loop:
+
+ section *p;
+ for (p = abfd->sections; p != NULL; p = p->next)
+ func (abfd, p, ...)
+
+2.6.5.12 `bfd_sections_find_if'
+...............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ asection *bfd_sections_find_if
+ (bfd *abfd,
+ bfd_boolean (*operation) (bfd *abfd, asection *sect, void *obj),
+ void *obj);
+ *Description*
+Call the provided function OPERATION for each section attached to the
+BFD ABFD, passing OBJ as an argument. The function will be called as if
+by
+
+ operation (abfd, the_section, obj);
+
+ It returns the first section for which OPERATION returns true.
+
+2.6.5.13 `bfd_set_section_size'
+...............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_set_section_size
+ (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, bfd_size_type val);
+ *Description*
+Set SEC to the size VAL. If the operation is ok, then `TRUE' is
+returned, else `FALSE'.
+
+ Possible error returns:
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - Writing has started to the BFD, so
+ setting the size is invalid.
+
+2.6.5.14 `bfd_set_section_contents'
+...................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_set_section_contents
+ (bfd *abfd, asection *section, const void *data,
+ file_ptr offset, bfd_size_type count);
+ *Description*
+Sets the contents of the section SECTION in BFD ABFD to the data
+starting in memory at DATA. The data is written to the output section
+starting at offset OFFSET for COUNT octets.
+
+ Normally `TRUE' is returned, else `FALSE'. Possible error returns
+are:
+ * `bfd_error_no_contents' - The output section does not have the
+ `SEC_HAS_CONTENTS' attribute, so nothing can be written to it.
+
+ * and some more too
+ This routine is front end to the back end function
+`_bfd_set_section_contents'.
+
+2.6.5.15 `bfd_get_section_contents'
+...................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_get_section_contents
+ (bfd *abfd, asection *section, void *location, file_ptr offset,
+ bfd_size_type count);
+ *Description*
+Read data from SECTION in BFD ABFD into memory starting at LOCATION.
+The data is read at an offset of OFFSET from the start of the input
+section, and is read for COUNT bytes.
+
+ If the contents of a constructor with the `SEC_CONSTRUCTOR' flag set
+are requested or if the section does not have the `SEC_HAS_CONTENTS'
+flag set, then the LOCATION is filled with zeroes. If no errors occur,
+`TRUE' is returned, else `FALSE'.
+
+2.6.5.16 `bfd_malloc_and_get_section'
+.....................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_malloc_and_get_section
+ (bfd *abfd, asection *section, bfd_byte **buf);
+ *Description*
+Read all data from SECTION in BFD ABFD into a buffer, *BUF, malloc'd by
+this function.
+
+2.6.5.17 `bfd_copy_private_section_data'
+........................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_copy_private_section_data
+ (bfd *ibfd, asection *isec, bfd *obfd, asection *osec);
+ *Description*
+Copy private section information from ISEC in the BFD IBFD to the
+section OSEC in the BFD OBFD. Return `TRUE' on success, `FALSE' on
+error. Possible error returns are:
+
+ * `bfd_error_no_memory' - Not enough memory exists to create private
+ data for OSEC.
+
+ #define bfd_copy_private_section_data(ibfd, isection, obfd, osection) \

+2.6.5.18 `bfd_generic_is_group_section'
+.......................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_generic_is_group_section (bfd *, const asection *sec);
+ *Description*
+Returns TRUE if SEC is a member of a group.
+
+2.6.5.19 `bfd_generic_discard_group'
+....................................

+
+2.7 Symbols
+===========
+
+BFD tries to maintain as much symbol information as it can when it
+moves information from file to file. BFD passes information to
+applications though the `asymbol' structure. When the application
+requests the symbol table, BFD reads the table in the native form and
+translates parts of it into the internal format. To maintain more than
+the information passed to applications, some targets keep some
+information "behind the scenes" in a structure only the particular back
+end knows about. For example, the coff back end keeps the original
+symbol table structure as well as the canonical structure when a BFD is
+read in. On output, the coff back end can reconstruct the output symbol
+table so that no information is lost, even information unique to coff
+which BFD doesn't know or understand. If a coff symbol table were read,
+but were written through an a.out back end, all the coff specific
+information would be lost. The symbol table of a BFD is not necessarily
+read in until a canonicalize request is made. Then the BFD back end
+fills in a table provided by the application with pointers to the
+canonical information. To output symbols, the application provides BFD
+with a table of pointers to pointers to `asymbol's. This allows
+applications like the linker to output a symbol as it was read, since
+the "behind the scenes" information will be still available.

+2.7.1 Reading symbols
+---------------------
+
+There are two stages to reading a symbol table from a BFD: allocating
+storage, and the actual reading process. This is an excerpt from an
+application which reads the symbol table:
+
+ long storage_needed;
+ asymbol **symbol_table;
+ long number_of_symbols;
+ long i;
+
+ storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound (abfd);
+
+ if (storage_needed < 0)
+ FAIL
+
+ if (storage_needed == 0)
+ return;
+
+ symbol_table = xmalloc (storage_needed);
+ ...
+ number_of_symbols =
+ bfd_canonicalize_symtab (abfd, symbol_table);
+
+ if (number_of_symbols < 0)
+ FAIL
+
+ for (i = 0; i < number_of_symbols; i++)
+ process_symbol (symbol_table[i]);
+
+ All storage for the symbols themselves is in an objalloc connected
+to the BFD; it is freed when the BFD is closed.
+

+
+2.7.2 Writing symbols
+---------------------
+
+Writing of a symbol table is automatic when a BFD open for writing is
+closed. The application attaches a vector of pointers to pointers to
+symbols to the BFD being written, and fills in the symbol count. The
+close and cleanup code reads through the table provided and performs
+all the necessary operations. The BFD output code must always be
+provided with an "owned" symbol: one which has come from another BFD,
+or one which has been created using `bfd_make_empty_symbol'. Here is an
+example showing the creation of a symbol table with only one element:
+
+ #include "bfd.h"
+ int main (void)
+ {
+ bfd *abfd;
+ asymbol *ptrs[2];
+ asymbol *new;
+
+ abfd = bfd_openw ("foo","a.out-sunos-big");
+ bfd_set_format (abfd, bfd_object);
+ new = bfd_make_empty_symbol (abfd);
+ new->name = "dummy_symbol";
+ new->section = bfd_make_section_old_way (abfd, ".text");
+ new->flags = BSF_GLOBAL;
+ new->value = 0x12345;
+
+ ptrs[0] = new;
+ ptrs[1] = 0;
+
+ bfd_set_symtab (abfd, ptrs, 1);
+ bfd_close (abfd);
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ ./makesym
+ nm foo
+ 00012345 A dummy_symbol
+
+ Many formats cannot represent arbitrary symbol information; for
+instance, the `a.out' object format does not allow an arbitrary number
+of sections. A symbol pointing to a section which is not one of
+`.text', `.data' or `.bss' cannot be described.
+

+
+2.7.3 Mini Symbols
+------------------
+
+Mini symbols provide read-only access to the symbol table. They use
+less memory space, but require more time to access. They can be useful
+for tools like nm or objdump, which may have to handle symbol tables of
+extremely large executables.
+
+ The `bfd_read_minisymbols' function will read the symbols into
+memory in an internal form. It will return a `void *' pointer to a
+block of memory, a symbol count, and the size of each symbol. The
+pointer is allocated using `malloc', and should be freed by the caller
+when it is no longer needed.
+
+ The function `bfd_minisymbol_to_symbol' will take a pointer to a
+minisymbol, and a pointer to a structure returned by
+`bfd_make_empty_symbol', and return a `asymbol' structure. The return
+value may or may not be the same as the value from
+`bfd_make_empty_symbol' which was passed in.

+
+2.8 Archives
+============
+
+*Description*
+An archive (or library) is just another BFD. It has a symbol table,
+although there's not much a user program will do with it.
+
+ The big difference between an archive BFD and an ordinary BFD is
+that the archive doesn't have sections. Instead it has a chain of BFDs
+that are considered its contents. These BFDs can be manipulated like
+any other. The BFDs contained in an archive opened for reading will
+all be opened for reading. You may put either input or output BFDs
+into an archive opened for output; they will be handled correctly when
+the archive is closed.
+
+ Use `bfd_openr_next_archived_file' to step through the contents of
+an archive opened for input. You don't have to read the entire archive
+if you don't want to! Read it until you find what you want.
+
+ Archive contents of output BFDs are chained through the `next'
+pointer in a BFD. The first one is findable through the `archive_head'
+slot of the archive. Set it with `bfd_set_archive_head' (q.v.). A
+given BFD may be in only one open output archive at a time.
+
+ As expected, the BFD archive code is more general than the archive
+code of any given environment. BFD archives may contain files of
+different formats (e.g., a.out and coff) and even different
+architectures. You may even place archives recursively into archives!
+
+ This can cause unexpected confusion, since some archive formats are
+more expressive than others. For instance, Intel COFF archives can
+preserve long filenames; SunOS a.out archives cannot. If you move a
+file from the first to the second format and back again, the filename
+may be truncated. Likewise, different a.out environments have different
+conventions as to how they truncate filenames, whether they preserve
+directory names in filenames, etc. When interoperating with native
+tools, be sure your files are homogeneous.
+
+ Beware: most of these formats do not react well to the presence of
+spaces in filenames. We do the best we can, but can't always handle
+this case due to restrictions in the format of archives. Many Unix
+utilities are braindead in regards to spaces and such in filenames
+anyway, so this shouldn't be much of a restriction.
+
+ Archives are supported in BFD in `archive.c'.
+
+2.8.1 Archive functions
+-----------------------
+
+2.8.1.1 `bfd_get_next_mapent'
+.............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ symindex bfd_get_next_mapent
+ (bfd *abfd, symindex previous, carsym **sym);
+ *Description*
+Step through archive ABFD's symbol table (if it has one). Successively
+update SYM with the next symbol's information, returning that symbol's
+(internal) index into the symbol table.
+
+ Supply `BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS' as the PREVIOUS entry to get the first
+one; returns `BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS' when you've already got the last one.
+
+ A `carsym' is a canonical archive symbol. The only user-visible
+element is its name, a null-terminated string.
+
+2.8.1.2 `bfd_set_archive_head'
+..............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_set_archive_head (bfd *output, bfd *new_head);

+
+2.8.1.3 `bfd_openr_next_archived_file'
+......................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd *bfd_openr_next_archived_file (bfd *archive, bfd *previous);
+ *Description*
+Provided a BFD, ARCHIVE, containing an archive and NULL, open an input
+BFD on the first contained element and returns that. Subsequent calls
+should pass the archive and the previous return value to return a
+created BFD to the next contained element. NULL is returned when there
+are no more.

+2.9 File formats
+================
+
+A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The formats
+supported by BFD are:
+
+ * `bfd_object'
+ The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.
+
+ * `bfd_archive'
+ The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.
+
+ * `bfd_core'
+ The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.
+
+2.9.1 File format functions
+---------------------------
+
+2.9.1.1 `bfd_check_format'
+..........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_check_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
+ *Description*
+Verify if the file attached to the BFD ABFD is compatible with the
+format FORMAT (i.e., one of `bfd_object', `bfd_archive' or `bfd_core').
+
+ If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the call, only
+the named target and format combination is checked. If the target has
+not been set, or has been set to `default', then all the known target
+backends is interrogated to determine a match. If the default target
+matches, it is used. If not, exactly one target must recognize the
+file, or an error results.
+
+ The function returns `TRUE' on success, otherwise `FALSE' with one
+of the following error codes:
+
+ * `bfd_error_invalid_operation' - if `format' is not one of
+ `bfd_object', `bfd_archive' or `bfd_core'.
+
+ * `bfd_error_system_call' - if an error occured during a read - even
+ some file mismatches can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
+
+ * `file_not_recognised' - none of the backends recognised the file
+ format.
+
+ * `bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized' - more than one backend
+ recognised the file format.
+
+2.9.1.2 `bfd_check_format_matches'
+..................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_check_format_matches
+ (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format, char ***matching);
+ *Description*
+Like `bfd_check_format', except when it returns FALSE with `bfd_errno'
+set to `bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized'. In that case, if
+MATCHING is not NULL, it will be filled in with a NULL-terminated list
+of the names of the formats that matched, allocated with `malloc'.
+Then the user may choose a format and try again.
+
+ When done with the list that MATCHING points to, the caller should
+free it.
+
+2.9.1.3 `bfd_set_format'
+........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_set_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);
+ *Description*
+This function sets the file format of the BFD ABFD to the format
+FORMAT. If the target set in the BFD does not support the format
+requested, the format is invalid, or the BFD is not open for writing,
+then an error occurs.
+
+2.9.1.4 `bfd_format_string'
+...........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ const char *bfd_format_string (bfd_format format);
+ *Description*
+Return a pointer to a const string `invalid', `object', `archive',
+`core', or `unknown', depending upon the value of FORMAT.

+2.10 Relocations
+================
+
+BFD maintains relocations in much the same way it maintains symbols:
+they are left alone until required, then read in en-masse and
+translated into an internal form. A common routine
+`bfd_perform_relocation' acts upon the canonical form to do the fixup.
+
+ Relocations are maintained on a per section basis, while symbols are
+maintained on a per BFD basis.
+
+ All that a back end has to do to fit the BFD interface is to create
+a `struct reloc_cache_entry' for each relocation in a particular
+section, and fill in the right bits of the structures.

+
+ }
+ arelent;
+ *Description*
+Here is a description of each of the fields within an `arelent':
+
+ * `sym_ptr_ptr'
+ The symbol table pointer points to a pointer to the symbol
+associated with the relocation request. It is the pointer into the
+table returned by the back end's `canonicalize_symtab' action. *Note
+Symbols::. The symbol is referenced through a pointer to a pointer so
+that tools like the linker can fix up all the symbols of the same name
+by modifying only one pointer. The relocation routine looks in the
+symbol and uses the base of the section the symbol is attached to and
+the value of the symbol as the initial relocation offset. If the symbol
+pointer is zero, then the section provided is looked up.
+
+ * `address'
+ The `address' field gives the offset in bytes from the base of the
+section data which owns the relocation record to the first byte of
+relocatable information. The actual data relocated will be relative to
+this point; for example, a relocation type which modifies the bottom
+two bytes of a four byte word would not touch the first byte pointed to
+in a big endian world.
+
+ * `addend'
+ The `addend' is a value provided by the back end to be added (!) to
+the relocation offset. Its interpretation is dependent upon the howto.
+For example, on the 68k the code:
+
+ char foo[];
+ main()
+ {
+ return foo[0x12345678];
+ }
+
+ Could be compiled into:

+ rts
+
+ This could create a reloc pointing to `foo', but leave the offset in
+the data, something like:
+
+ RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
+ offset type value
+ 00000006 32 _foo
+
+ 00000000 4e56 fffc ; linkw fp,#-4

+ 0000000a 49c0 ; extbl d0
+ 0000000c 4e5e ; unlk fp
+ 0000000e 4e75 ; rts
+
+ Using coff and an 88k, some instructions don't have enough space in
+them to represent the full address range, and pointers have to be
+loaded in two parts. So you'd get something like:
+
+ or.u r13,r0,hi16(_foo+0x12345678)
+ ld.b r2,r13,lo16(_foo+0x12345678)
+ jmp r1
+
+ This should create two relocs, both pointing to `_foo', and with
+0x12340000 in their addend field. The data would consist of:
+
+ RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
+ offset type value
+ 00000002 HVRT16 _foo+0x12340000
+ 00000006 LVRT16 _foo+0x12340000
+
+ 00000000 5da05678 ; or.u r13,r0,0x5678
+ 00000004 1c4d5678 ; ld.b r2,r13,0x5678
+ 00000008 f400c001 ; jmp r1
+
+ The relocation routine digs out the value from the data, adds it to
+the addend to get the original offset, and then adds the value of
+`_foo'. Note that all 32 bits have to be kept around somewhere, to cope
+with carry from bit 15 to bit 16.
+
+ One further example is the sparc and the a.out format. The sparc has
+a similar problem to the 88k, in that some instructions don't have room
+for an entire offset, but on the sparc the parts are created in odd
+sized lumps. The designers of the a.out format chose to not use the
+data within the section for storing part of the offset; all the offset
+is kept within the reloc. Anything in the data should be ignored.
+
+ save %sp,-112,%sp
+ sethi %hi(_foo+0x12345678),%g2
+ ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0x12345678)],%i0
+ ret
+ restore
+
+ Both relocs contain a pointer to `foo', and the offsets contain junk.

+ *Description*
+If OUTPUT_BFD is supplied to this function, the generated image will be
+relocatable; the relocations are copied to the output file after they

+ways of reflecting the results of partial linkage in an output file: by
+modifying the output data in place, and by modifying the relocation
+record. Some native formats (e.g., basic a.out and basic coff) have no
+way of specifying an addend in the relocation type, so the addend has
+to go in the output data. This is no big deal since in these formats
+the output data slot will always be big enough for the addend. Complex
+reloc types with addends were invented to solve just this problem. The
+ERROR_MESSAGE argument is set to an error message if this return
+`bfd_reloc_dangerous'.

+2.10.2 The howto manager
+------------------------
+
+When an application wants to create a relocation, but doesn't know what
+the target machine might call it, it can find out by using this bit of
+code.
+
+2.10.2.1 `bfd_reloc_code_type'
+..............................
+
+*Description*
+The insides of a reloc code. The idea is that, eventually, there will
+be one enumerator for every type of relocation we ever do. Pass one of
+these values to `bfd_reloc_type_lookup', and it'll return a howto
+pointer.
+
+ This does mean that the application must determine the correct
+enumerator value; you can't get a howto pointer from a random set of
+attributes.
+
+ Here are the possible values for `enum bfd_reloc_code_real':

+ of the symbol, and then fills in a register in the real
+ instruction.
+
+ The LITERAL reloc, at the LDQ instruction, refers to the .lita
+ section symbol. The addend is ignored when writing, but is filled
+ in with the file's GP value on reading, for convenience, as with
+ the GPDISP_LO16 reloc.
+
+ The ELF_LITERAL reloc is somewhere between 16_GOTOFF and
+ GPDISP_LO16. It should refer to the symbol to be referenced, as
+ with 16_GOTOFF, but it generates output not based on the position
+ within the .got section, but relative to the GP value chosen for
+ the file during the final link stage.
+
+ The LITUSE reloc, on the instruction using the loaded address,
+ gives information to the linker that it might be able to use to
+ optimize away some literal section references. The symbol is
+ ignored (read as the absolute section symbol), and the "addend"
+ indicates the type of instruction using the register: 1 - "memory"
+ fmt insn 2 - byte-manipulation (byte offset reg) 3 - jsr (target
+ of branch)
+
+ -- : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_HINT

+
+ VTABLE_INHERIT is a zero-space relocation used to describe to the
+ linker the inheritance tree of a C++ virtual function table. The
+ relocation's symbol should be the parent class' vtable, and the
+ relocation should be located at the child vtable.
+
+ VTABLE_ENTRY is a zero-space relocation that describes the use of a
+ virtual function table entry. The reloc's symbol should refer to
+ the table of the class mentioned in the code. Off of that base,
+ an offset describes the entry that is being used. For Rela hosts,
+ this offset is stored in the reloc's addend. For Rel hosts, we
+ are forced to put this offset in the reloc's section offset.

+2.12 Targets
+============
+
+*Description*
+Each port of BFD to a different machine requires the creation of a
+target back end. All the back end provides to the root part of BFD is a
+structure containing pointers to functions which perform certain low
+level operations on files. BFD translates the applications's requests
+through a pointer into calls to the back end routines.
+
+ When a file is opened with `bfd_openr', its format and target are
+unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine how to interpret the
+file. The operations performed are:
+
+ * Create a BFD by calling the internal routine `_bfd_new_bfd', then
+ call `bfd_find_target' with the target string supplied to
+ `bfd_openr' and the new BFD pointer.
+
+ * If a null target string was provided to `bfd_find_target', look up
+ the environment variable `GNUTARGET' and use that as the target
+ string.
+
+ * If the target string is still `NULL', or the target string is
+ `default', then use the first item in the target vector as the
+ target type, and set `target_defaulted' in the BFD to cause
+ `bfd_check_format' to loop through all the targets. *Note
+ bfd_target::. *Note Formats::.
+
+ * Otherwise, inspect the elements in the target vector one by one,
+ until a match on target name is found. When found, use it.
+
+ * Otherwise return the error `bfd_error_invalid_target' to
+ `bfd_openr'.
+
+ * `bfd_openr' attempts to open the file using `bfd_open_file', and
+ returns the BFD.
+ Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file
+format may be determined. This is done by calling `bfd_check_format' on
+the BFD with a suggested format. If `target_defaulted' has been set,
+each possible target type is tried to see if it recognizes the
+specified format. `bfd_check_format' returns `TRUE' when the caller
+guesses right.

+2.12.1 bfd_target
+-----------------
+
+*Description*
+This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a target. It
+includes things like its byte order, name, and which routines to call
+to do various operations.
+
+ Every BFD points to a target structure with its `xvec' member.
+
+ The macros below are used to dispatch to functions through the
+`bfd_target' vector. They are used in a number of macros further down
+in `bfd.h', and are also used when calling various routines by hand
+inside the BFD implementation. The ARGLIST argument must be
+parenthesized; it contains all the arguments to the called function.
+
+ They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if someone
+wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.

+
+2.13 Architectures
+==================
+
+BFD keeps one atom in a BFD describing the architecture of the data
+attached to the BFD: a pointer to a `bfd_arch_info_type'.
+
+ Pointers to structures can be requested independently of a BFD so
+that an architecture's information can be interrogated without access
+to an open BFD.
+
+ The architecture information is provided by each architecture
+package. The set of default architectures is selected by the macro
+`SELECT_ARCHITECTURES'. This is normally set up in the
+`config/TARGET.mt' file of your choice. If the name is not defined,
+then all the architectures supported are included.
+
+ When BFD starts up, all the architectures are called with an
+initialize method. It is up to the architecture back end to insert as
+many items into the list of architectures as it wants to; generally
+this would be one for each machine and one for the default case (an
+item with a machine field of 0).
+
+ BFD's idea of an architecture is implemented in `archures.c'.
+
+2.13.1 bfd_architecture
+-----------------------

+This enum gives the object file's CPU architecture, in a global
+sense--i.e., what processor family does it belong to? Another field

+gives a number which distinguishes different versions of the
+architecture, containing, for example, 2 and 3 for Intel i960 KA and
+i960 KB, and 68020 and 68030 for Motorola 68020 and 68030.

+2.14 Opening and closing BFDs
+=============================
+
+2.14.1 Functions for opening and closing
+----------------------------------------
+
+2.14.1.1 `bfd_fopen'
+....................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd *bfd_fopen (const char *filename, const char *target,
+ const char *mode, int fd);
+ *Description*
+Open the file FILENAME with the target TARGET. Return a pointer to the
+created BFD. If FD is not -1, then `fdopen' is used to open the file;
+otherwise, `fopen' is used. MODE is passed directly to `fopen' or
+`fdopen'.
+
+ Calls `bfd_find_target', so TARGET is interpreted as by that
+function.
+
+ The new BFD is marked as cacheable iff FD is -1.
+
+ If `NULL' is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors
+are `bfd_error_no_memory', `bfd_error_invalid_target' or `system_call'
+error.
+
+2.14.1.2 `bfd_openr'
+....................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd *bfd_openr (const char *filename, const char *target);
+ *Description*
+Open the file FILENAME (using `fopen') with the target TARGET. Return
+a pointer to the created BFD.
+
+ Calls `bfd_find_target', so TARGET is interpreted as by that

+
+2.14.1.3 `bfd_fdopenr'
+......................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd *bfd_fdopenr (const char *filename, const char *target, int fd);
+ *Description*
+`bfd_fdopenr' is to `bfd_fopenr' much like `fdopen' is to `fopen'. It
+opens a BFD on a file already described by the FD supplied.
+
+ When the file is later `bfd_close'd, the file descriptor will be
+closed. If the caller desires that this file descriptor be cached by
+BFD (opened as needed, closed as needed to free descriptors for other
+opens), with the supplied FD used as an initial file descriptor (but
+subject to closure at any time), call bfd_set_cacheable(bfd, 1) on the
+returned BFD. The default is to assume no caching; the file descriptor
+will remain open until `bfd_close', and will not be affected by BFD
+operations on other files.
+
+ Possible errors are `bfd_error_no_memory',
+`bfd_error_invalid_target' and `bfd_error_system_call'.
+
+2.14.1.4 `bfd_openstreamr'
+..........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd *bfd_openstreamr (const char *, const char *, void *);
+ *Description*
+Open a BFD for read access on an existing stdio stream. When the BFD
+is passed to `bfd_close', the stream will be closed.
+
+2.14.1.5 `bfd_openr_iovec'
+..........................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd *bfd_openr_iovec (const char *filename, const char *target,
+ void *(*open) (struct bfd *nbfd,
+ void *open_closure),
+ void *open_closure,
+ file_ptr (*pread) (struct bfd *nbfd,
+ void *stream,
+ void *buf,
+ file_ptr nbytes,
+ file_ptr offset),
+ int (*close) (struct bfd *nbfd,
+ void *stream),
+ int (*stat) (struct bfd *abfd,
+ void *stream,
+ struct stat *sb));
+ *Description*
+Create and return a BFD backed by a read-only STREAM. The STREAM is
+created using OPEN, accessed using PREAD and destroyed using CLOSE.
+
+ Calls `bfd_find_target', so TARGET is interpreted as by that
+function.
+
+ Calls OPEN (which can call `bfd_zalloc' and `bfd_get_filename') to
+obtain the read-only stream backing the BFD. OPEN either succeeds
+returning the non-`NULL' STREAM, or fails returning `NULL' (setting
+`bfd_error').
+
+ Calls PREAD to request NBYTES of data from STREAM starting at OFFSET
+(e.g., via a call to `bfd_read'). PREAD either succeeds returning the
+number of bytes read (which can be less than NBYTES when end-of-file),
+or fails returning -1 (setting `bfd_error').
+
+ Calls CLOSE when the BFD is later closed using `bfd_close'. CLOSE
+either succeeds returning 0, or fails returning -1 (setting
+`bfd_error').
+
+ Calls STAT to fill in a stat structure for bfd_stat, bfd_get_size,
+and bfd_get_mtime calls. STAT returns 0 on success, or returns -1 on
+failure (setting `bfd_error').
+
+ If `bfd_openr_iovec' returns `NULL' then an error has occurred.
+Possible errors are `bfd_error_no_memory', `bfd_error_invalid_target'
+and `bfd_error_system_call'.
+
+2.14.1.6 `bfd_openw'
+....................
+
+*Synopsis*

+TARGET, and return a pointer to it.
+
+ Possible errors are `bfd_error_system_call', `bfd_error_no_memory',
+`bfd_error_invalid_target'.
+
+2.14.1.7 `bfd_close'
+....................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_close (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Close a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then pending operations
+are completed and the file written out and closed. If the created file
+is executable, then `chmod' is called to mark it as such.
+
+ All memory attached to the BFD is released.
+
+ The file descriptor associated with the BFD is closed (even if it
+was passed in to BFD by `bfd_fdopenr').
+
+ *Returns*
+`TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE'.

+2.14.1.8 `bfd_close_all_done'
+.............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_close_all_done (bfd *);
+ *Description*
+Close a BFD. Differs from `bfd_close' since it does not complete any
+pending operations. This routine would be used if the application had
+just used BFD for swapping and didn't want to use any of the writing
+code.
+
+ If the created file is executable, then `chmod' is called to mark it
+as such.
+
+ All memory attached to the BFD is released.
+
+ *Returns*
+`TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE'.

+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_make_writable (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Takes a BFD as created by `bfd_create' and converts it into one like as

+BFD_IN_MEMORY. It's assumed that you will call `bfd_make_readable' on
+this bfd later.
+
+ *Returns*
+`TRUE' is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE'.

+.............................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_make_readable (bfd *abfd);
+ *Description*
+Takes a BFD as created by `bfd_create' and `bfd_make_writable' and
+converts it into one like as returned by `bfd_openr'. It does this by
+writing the contents out to the memory buffer, then reversing the
+direction.

+
+2.14.1.20 `bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink'
+....................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ char *bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink (bfd *abfd, const char *dir);
+ *Description*
+Takes a BFD and searches it for a .gnu_debuglink section. If this
+section is found, it examines the section for the name and checksum of
+a '.debug' file containing auxiliary debugging information. It then
+searches the filesystem for this .debug file in some standard
+locations, including the directory tree rooted at DIR, and if found
+returns the full filename.

+2.15 Implementation details
+===========================
+
+2.15.1 Internal functions
+-------------------------
+
+*Description*
+These routines are used within BFD. They are not intended for export,
+but are documented here for completeness.
+
+2.15.1.1 `bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int'
+........................................
+
+*Synopsis*
+ bfd_boolean bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int (bfd *, unsigned int);
+ *Description*
+Write a 4 byte integer I to the output BFD ABFD, in big endian order
+regardless of what else is going on. This is useful in archives.
+
+2.15.1.2 `bfd_put_size'
+.......................
+
+2.15.1.3 `bfd_get_size'
+.......................
+
+*Description*
+These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in sections; each
+access (except for bytes) is vectored through the target format of the
+BFD and mangled accordingly. The mangling performs any necessary endian
+translations and removes alignment restrictions. Note that types
+accepted and returned by these macros are identical so they can be
+swapped around in macros--for example, `libaout.h' defines `GET_WORD'
+to either `bfd_get_32' or `bfd_get_64'.
+
+ In the put routines, VAL must be a `bfd_vma'. If we are on a system
+without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making sure that is
+true, with a cast if necessary. We don't cast them in the macro
+definitions because that would prevent `lint' or `gcc -Wall' from
+detecting sins such as passing a pointer. To detect calling these with
+less than a `bfd_vma', use `gcc -Wconversion' on a host with 64 bit
+`bfd_vma''s.

+
+2.16 File caching
+=================
+
+The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows the
+application to open as many BFDs as it wants without regard to the
+underlying operating system's file descriptor limit (often as low as 20
+open files). The module in `cache.c' maintains a least recently used
+list of `BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN' files, and exports the name
+`bfd_cache_lookup', which runs around and makes sure that the required
+BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to close, closes it and
+opens the one wanted, returning its file handle.

+File: bfd.info, Node: Linker Functions, Next: Hash Tables, Prev: File Caching, Up: BFD front end
+
+2.17 Linker Functions
+=====================
+
+The linker uses three special entry points in the BFD target vector.
+It is not necessary to write special routines for these entry points
+when creating a new BFD back end, since generic versions are provided.
+However, writing them can speed up linking and make it use
+significantly less runtime memory.
+
+ The first routine creates a hash table used by the other routines.
+The second routine adds the symbols from an object file to the hash
+table. The third routine takes all the object files and links them
+together to create the output file. These routines are designed so
+that the linker proper does not need to know anything about the symbols
+in the object files that it is linking. The linker merely arranges the
+sections as directed by the linker script and lets BFD handle the
+details of symbols and relocs.
+
+ The second routine and third routines are passed a pointer to a
+`struct bfd_link_info' structure (defined in `bfdlink.h') which holds
+information relevant to the link, including the linker hash table
+(which was created by the first routine) and a set of callback
+functions to the linker proper.
+
+ The generic linker routines are in `linker.c', and use the header
+file `genlink.h'. As of this writing, the only back ends which have
+implemented versions of these routines are a.out (in `aoutx.h') and
+ECOFF (in `ecoff.c'). The a.out routines are used as examples
+throughout this section.

+
+2.17.1 Creating a linker hash table
+-----------------------------------
+
+The linker routines must create a hash table, which must be derived
+from `struct bfd_link_hash_table' described in `bfdlink.c'. *Note Hash
+Tables::, for information on how to create a derived hash table. This
+entry point is called using the target vector of the linker output file.
+
+ The `_bfd_link_hash_table_create' entry point must allocate and
+initialize an instance of the desired hash table. If the back end does
+not require any additional information to be stored with the entries in
+the hash table, the entry point may simply create a `struct
+bfd_link_hash_table'. Most likely, however, some additional
+information will be needed.
+
+ For example, with each entry in the hash table the a.out linker
+keeps the index the symbol has in the final output file (this index
+number is used so that when doing a relocatable link the symbol index
+used in the output file can be quickly filled in when copying over a
+reloc). The a.out linker code defines the required structures and
+functions for a hash table derived from `struct bfd_link_hash_table'.
+The a.out linker hash table is created by the function
+`NAME(aout,link_hash_table_create)'; it simply allocates space for the
+hash table, initializes it, and returns a pointer to it.
+
+ When writing the linker routines for a new back end, you will
+generally not know exactly which fields will be required until you have
+finished. You should simply create a new hash table which defines no
+additional fields, and then simply add fields as they become necessary.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Adding Symbols to the Hash Table, Next: Performing the Final Link, Prev: Creating a Linker Hash Table, Up: Linker Functions
+
+2.17.2 Adding symbols to the hash table
+---------------------------------------
+
+The linker proper will call the `_bfd_link_add_symbols' entry point for
+each object file or archive which is to be linked (typically these are
+the files named on the command line, but some may also come from the
+linker script). The entry point is responsible for examining the file.
+For an object file, BFD must add any relevant symbol information to
+the hash table. For an archive, BFD must determine which elements of
+the archive should be used and adding them to the link.
+
+ The a.out version of this entry point is
+`NAME(aout,link_add_symbols)'.

+
+2.17.2.1 Differing file formats
+...............................
+
+Normally all the files involved in a link will be of the same format,
+but it is also possible to link together different format object files,
+and the back end must support that. The `_bfd_link_add_symbols' entry
+point is called via the target vector of the file to be added. This
+has an important consequence: the function may not assume that the hash
+table is the type created by the corresponding
+`_bfd_link_hash_table_create' vector. All the `_bfd_link_add_symbols'
+function can assume about the hash table is that it is derived from
+`struct bfd_link_hash_table'.
+
+ Sometimes the `_bfd_link_add_symbols' function must store some
+information in the hash table entry to be used by the `_bfd_final_link'
+function. In such a case the output bfd xvec must be checked to make
+sure that the hash table was created by an object file of the same
+format.
+
+ The `_bfd_final_link' routine must be prepared to handle a hash
+entry without any extra information added by the
+`_bfd_link_add_symbols' function. A hash entry without extra
+information will also occur when the linker script directs the linker
+to create a symbol. Note that, regardless of how a hash table entry is
+added, all the fields will be initialized to some sort of null value by
+the hash table entry initialization function.
+
+ See `ecoff_link_add_externals' for an example of how to check the
+output bfd before saving information (in this case, the ECOFF external
+symbol debugging information) in a hash table entry.

+
+2.17.2.2 Adding symbols from an object file
+...........................................
+
+When the `_bfd_link_add_symbols' routine is passed an object file, it
+must add all externally visible symbols in that object file to the hash
+table. The actual work of adding the symbol to the hash table is
+normally handled by the function `_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol'.
+The `_bfd_link_add_symbols' routine is responsible for reading all the
+symbols from the object file and passing the correct information to
+`_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol'.
+
+ The `_bfd_link_add_symbols' routine should not use
+`bfd_canonicalize_symtab' to read the symbols. The point of providing
+this routine is to avoid the overhead of converting the symbols into
+generic `asymbol' structures.
+
+ `_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol' handles the details of combining
+common symbols, warning about multiple definitions, and so forth. It
+takes arguments which describe the symbol to add, notably symbol flags,
+a section, and an offset. The symbol flags include such things as
+`BSF_WEAK' or `BSF_INDIRECT'. The section is a section in the object
+file, or something like `bfd_und_section_ptr' for an undefined symbol
+or `bfd_com_section_ptr' for a common symbol.
+
+ If the `_bfd_final_link' routine is also going to need to read the
+symbol information, the `_bfd_link_add_symbols' routine should save it
+somewhere attached to the object file BFD. However, the information
+should only be saved if the `keep_memory' field of the `info' argument
+is TRUE, so that the `-no-keep-memory' linker switch is effective.
+
+ The a.out function which adds symbols from an object file is
+`aout_link_add_object_symbols', and most of the interesting work is in
+`aout_link_add_symbols'. The latter saves pointers to the hash tables
+entries created by `_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol' indexed by symbol
+number, so that the `_bfd_final_link' routine does not have to call the
+hash table lookup routine to locate the entry.

+
+2.17.2.3 Adding symbols from an archive
+.......................................
+
+When the `_bfd_link_add_symbols' routine is passed an archive, it must
+look through the symbols defined by the archive and decide which
+elements of the archive should be included in the link. For each such
+element it must call the `add_archive_element' linker callback, and it
+must add the symbols from the object file to the linker hash table.
+
+ In most cases the work of looking through the symbols in the archive
+should be done by the `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols' function.
+This function builds a hash table from the archive symbol table and
+looks through the list of undefined symbols to see which elements
+should be included. `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols' is passed
+a function to call to make the final decision about adding an archive
+element to the link and to do the actual work of adding the symbols to
+the linker hash table.
+
+ The function passed to `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols' must
+read the symbols of the archive element and decide whether the archive
+element should be included in the link. If the element is to be
+included, the `add_archive_element' linker callback routine must be
+called with the element as an argument, and the elements symbols must
+be added to the linker hash table just as though the element had itself
+been passed to the `_bfd_link_add_symbols' function.
+
+ When the a.out `_bfd_link_add_symbols' function receives an archive,
+it calls `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols' passing
+`aout_link_check_archive_element' as the function argument.
+`aout_link_check_archive_element' calls `aout_link_check_ar_symbols'.
+If the latter decides to add the element (an element is only added if
+it provides a real, non-common, definition for a previously undefined
+or common symbol) it calls the `add_archive_element' callback and then
+`aout_link_check_archive_element' calls `aout_link_add_symbols' to
+actually add the symbols to the linker hash table.
+
+ The ECOFF back end is unusual in that it does not normally call
+`_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols', because ECOFF archives already
+contain a hash table of symbols. The ECOFF back end searches the
+archive itself to avoid the overhead of creating a new hash table.

+
+2.17.3 Performing the final link
+--------------------------------
+
+When all the input files have been processed, the linker calls the
+`_bfd_final_link' entry point of the output BFD. This routine is
+responsible for producing the final output file, which has several
+aspects. It must relocate the contents of the input sections and copy
+the data into the output sections. It must build an output symbol
+table including any local symbols from the input files and the global
+symbols from the hash table. When producing relocatable output, it must
+modify the input relocs and write them into the output file. There may
+also be object format dependent work to be done.
+
+ The linker will also call the `write_object_contents' entry point
+when the BFD is closed. The two entry points must work together in
+order to produce the correct output file.
+
+ The details of how this works are inevitably dependent upon the
+specific object file format. The a.out `_bfd_final_link' routine is
+`NAME(aout,final_link)'.

+
+2.17.3.1 Information provided by the linker
+...........................................
+
+Before the linker calls the `_bfd_final_link' entry point, it sets up
+some data structures for the function to use.
+
+ The `input_bfds' field of the `bfd_link_info' structure will point
+to a list of all the input files included in the link. These files are
+linked through the `link_next' field of the `bfd' structure.
+
+ Each section in the output file will have a list of `link_order'
+structures attached to the `map_head.link_order' field (the
+`link_order' structure is defined in `bfdlink.h'). These structures
+describe how to create the contents of the output section in terms of
+the contents of various input sections, fill constants, and,
+eventually, other types of information. They also describe relocs that
+must be created by the BFD backend, but do not correspond to any input
+file; this is used to support -Ur, which builds constructors while
+generating a relocatable object file.

+
+2.17.3.2 Relocating the section contents
+........................................
+
+The `_bfd_final_link' function should look through the `link_order'
+structures attached to each section of the output file. Each
+`link_order' structure should either be handled specially, or it should
+be passed to the function `_bfd_default_link_order' which will do the
+right thing (`_bfd_default_link_order' is defined in `linker.c').
+
+ For efficiency, a `link_order' of type `bfd_indirect_link_order'
+whose associated section belongs to a BFD of the same format as the
+output BFD must be handled specially. This type of `link_order'
+describes part of an output section in terms of a section belonging to
+one of the input files. The `_bfd_final_link' function should read the
+contents of the section and any associated relocs, apply the relocs to
+the section contents, and write out the modified section contents. If
+performing a relocatable link, the relocs themselves must also be
+modified and written out.
+
+ The functions `_bfd_relocate_contents' and
+`_bfd_final_link_relocate' provide some general support for performing
+the actual relocations, notably overflow checking. Their arguments
+include information about the symbol the relocation is against and a
+`reloc_howto_type' argument which describes the relocation to perform.
+These functions are defined in `reloc.c'.
+
+ The a.out function which handles reading, relocating, and writing
+section contents is `aout_link_input_section'. The actual relocation
+is done in `aout_link_input_section_std' and
+`aout_link_input_section_ext'.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Writing the symbol table, Prev: Relocating the section contents, Up: Performing the Final Link
+
+2.17.3.3 Writing the symbol table
+.................................
+
+The `_bfd_final_link' function must gather all the symbols in the input
+files and write them out. It must also write out all the symbols in
+the global hash table. This must be controlled by the `strip' and
+`discard' fields of the `bfd_link_info' structure.
+
+ The local symbols of the input files will not have been entered into
+the linker hash table. The `_bfd_final_link' routine must consider
+each input file and include the symbols in the output file. It may be
+convenient to do this when looking through the `link_order' structures,
+or it may be done by stepping through the `input_bfds' list.
+
+ The `_bfd_final_link' routine must also traverse the global hash
+table to gather all the externally visible symbols. It is possible
+that most of the externally visible symbols may be written out when
+considering the symbols of each input file, but it is still necessary
+to traverse the hash table since the linker script may have defined
+some symbols that are not in any of the input files.
+
+ The `strip' field of the `bfd_link_info' structure controls which
+symbols are written out. The possible values are listed in
+`bfdlink.h'. If the value is `strip_some', then the `keep_hash' field
+of the `bfd_link_info' structure is a hash table of symbols to keep;
+each symbol should be looked up in this hash table, and only symbols
+which are present should be included in the output file.
+
+ If the `strip' field of the `bfd_link_info' structure permits local
+symbols to be written out, the `discard' field is used to further
+controls which local symbols are included in the output file. If the
+value is `discard_l', then all local symbols which begin with a certain
+prefix are discarded; this is controlled by the
+`bfd_is_local_label_name' entry point.
+
+ The a.out backend handles symbols by calling
+`aout_link_write_symbols' on each input BFD and then traversing the
+global hash table with the function `aout_link_write_other_symbol'. It
+builds a string table while writing out the symbols, which is written
+to the output file at the end of `NAME(aout,final_link)'.

+2.18 Hash Tables
+================
+
+BFD provides a simple set of hash table functions. Routines are
+provided to initialize a hash table, to free a hash table, to look up a
+string in a hash table and optionally create an entry for it, and to
+traverse a hash table. There is currently no routine to delete an
+string from a hash table.
+
+ The basic hash table does not permit any data to be stored with a
+string. However, a hash table is designed to present a base class from
+which other types of hash tables may be derived. These derived types
+may store additional information with the string. Hash tables were
+implemented in this way, rather than simply providing a data pointer in
+a hash table entry, because they were designed for use by the linker
+back ends. The linker may create thousands of hash table entries, and
+the overhead of allocating private data and storing and following
+pointers becomes noticeable.
+
+ The basic hash table code is in `hash.c'.

+
+2.18.1 Creating and freeing a hash table
+----------------------------------------
+
+To create a hash table, create an instance of a `struct bfd_hash_table'
+(defined in `bfd.h') and call `bfd_hash_table_init' (if you know
+approximately how many entries you will need, the function
+`bfd_hash_table_init_n', which takes a SIZE argument, may be used).
+`bfd_hash_table_init' returns `FALSE' if some sort of error occurs.
+
+ The function `bfd_hash_table_init' take as an argument a function to
+use to create new entries. For a basic hash table, use the function
+`bfd_hash_newfunc'. *Note Deriving a New Hash Table Type::, for why
+you would want to use a different value for this argument.
+
+ `bfd_hash_table_init' will create an objalloc which will be used to
+allocate new entries. You may allocate memory on this objalloc using
+`bfd_hash_allocate'.
+
+ Use `bfd_hash_table_free' to free up all the memory that has been
+allocated for a hash table. This will not free up the `struct
+bfd_hash_table' itself, which you must provide.
+
+ Use `bfd_hash_set_default_size' to set the default size of hash
+table to use.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Looking Up or Entering a String, Next: Traversing a Hash Table, Prev: Creating and Freeing a Hash Table, Up: Hash Tables
+
+2.18.2 Looking up or entering a string
+--------------------------------------
+
+The function `bfd_hash_lookup' is used both to look up a string in the
+hash table and to create a new entry.
+
+ If the CREATE argument is `FALSE', `bfd_hash_lookup' will look up a
+string. If the string is found, it will returns a pointer to a `struct
+bfd_hash_entry'. If the string is not found in the table
+`bfd_hash_lookup' will return `NULL'. You should not modify any of the
+fields in the returns `struct bfd_hash_entry'.
+
+ If the CREATE argument is `TRUE', the string will be entered into
+the hash table if it is not already there. Either way a pointer to a
+`struct bfd_hash_entry' will be returned, either to the existing
+structure or to a newly created one. In this case, a `NULL' return
+means that an error occurred.
+
+ If the CREATE argument is `TRUE', and a new entry is created, the
+COPY argument is used to decide whether to copy the string onto the
+hash table objalloc or not. If COPY is passed as `FALSE', you must be
+careful not to deallocate or modify the string as long as the hash table
+exists.

+
+2.18.3 Traversing a hash table
+------------------------------
+
+The function `bfd_hash_traverse' may be used to traverse a hash table,
+calling a function on each element. The traversal is done in a random
+order.
+
+ `bfd_hash_traverse' takes as arguments a function and a generic
+`void *' pointer. The function is called with a hash table entry (a
+`struct bfd_hash_entry *') and the generic pointer passed to
+`bfd_hash_traverse'. The function must return a `boolean' value, which
+indicates whether to continue traversing the hash table. If the
+function returns `FALSE', `bfd_hash_traverse' will stop the traversal
+and return immediately.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Deriving a New Hash Table Type, Prev: Traversing a Hash Table, Up: Hash Tables
+
+2.18.4 Deriving a new hash table type
+-------------------------------------
+
+Many uses of hash tables want to store additional information which
+each entry in the hash table. Some also find it convenient to store
+additional information with the hash table itself. This may be done
+using a derived hash table.
+
+ Since C is not an object oriented language, creating a derived hash
+table requires sticking together some boilerplate routines with a few
+differences specific to the type of hash table you want to create.
+
+ An example of a derived hash table is the linker hash table. The
+structures for this are defined in `bfdlink.h'. The functions are in
+`linker.c'.
+
+ You may also derive a hash table from an already derived hash table.
+For example, the a.out linker backend code uses a hash table derived
+from the linker hash table.

+
+2.18.4.1 Define the derived structures
+......................................
+
+You must define a structure for an entry in the hash table, and a
+structure for the hash table itself.
+
+ The first field in the structure for an entry in the hash table must
+be of the type used for an entry in the hash table you are deriving
+from. If you are deriving from a basic hash table this is `struct
+bfd_hash_entry', which is defined in `bfd.h'. The first field in the
+structure for the hash table itself must be of the type of the hash
+table you are deriving from itself. If you are deriving from a basic
+hash table, this is `struct bfd_hash_table'.
+
+ For example, the linker hash table defines `struct
+bfd_link_hash_entry' (in `bfdlink.h'). The first field, `root', is of
+type `struct bfd_hash_entry'. Similarly, the first field in `struct
+bfd_link_hash_table', `table', is of type `struct bfd_hash_table'.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: Write the Derived Creation Routine, Next: Write Other Derived Routines, Prev: Define the Derived Structures, Up: Deriving a New Hash Table Type
+
+2.18.4.2 Write the derived creation routine
+...........................................
+
+You must write a routine which will create and initialize an entry in
+the hash table. This routine is passed as the function argument to
+`bfd_hash_table_init'.
+
+ In order to permit other hash tables to be derived from the hash
+table you are creating, this routine must be written in a standard way.
+
+ The first argument to the creation routine is a pointer to a hash
+table entry. This may be `NULL', in which case the routine should
+allocate the right amount of space. Otherwise the space has already
+been allocated by a hash table type derived from this one.
+
+ After allocating space, the creation routine must call the creation
+routine of the hash table type it is derived from, passing in a pointer
+to the space it just allocated. This will initialize any fields used
+by the base hash table.
+
+ Finally the creation routine must initialize any local fields for
+the new hash table type.
+
+ Here is a boilerplate example of a creation routine. FUNCTION_NAME
+is the name of the routine. ENTRY_TYPE is the type of an entry in the
+hash table you are creating. BASE_NEWFUNC is the name of the creation
+routine of the hash table type your hash table is derived from.
+
+ struct bfd_hash_entry *
+ FUNCTION_NAME (struct bfd_hash_entry *entry,
+ struct bfd_hash_table *table,

+ struct ENTRY_TYPE *ret = (ENTRY_TYPE *) entry;
+
+ /* Allocate the structure if it has not already been allocated by a
+ derived class. */
+ if (ret == NULL)
+ {
+ ret = bfd_hash_allocate (table, sizeof (* ret));
+ if (ret == NULL)
+ return NULL;
+ }

+ /* Call the allocation method of the base class. */

+ BASE_NEWFUNC ((struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret, table, string));
+
+ /* Initialize the local fields here. */
+
+ return (struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret;
+ }
+ *Description*
+The creation routine for the linker hash table, which is in `linker.c',
+looks just like this example. FUNCTION_NAME is
+`_bfd_link_hash_newfunc'. ENTRY_TYPE is `struct bfd_link_hash_entry'.
+BASE_NEWFUNC is `bfd_hash_newfunc', the creation routine for a basic
+hash table.
+
+ `_bfd_link_hash_newfunc' also initializes the local fields in a
+linker hash table entry: `type', `written' and `next'.

+
+2.18.4.3 Write other derived routines
+.....................................
+
+You will want to write other routines for your new hash table, as well.
+
+ You will want an initialization routine which calls the
+initialization routine of the hash table you are deriving from and
+initializes any other local fields. For the linker hash table, this is
+`_bfd_link_hash_table_init' in `linker.c'.
+
+ You will want a lookup routine which calls the lookup routine of the
+hash table you are deriving from and casts the result. The linker hash
+table uses `bfd_link_hash_lookup' in `linker.c' (this actually takes an
+additional argument which it uses to decide how to return the looked up
+value).
+
+ You may want a traversal routine. This should just call the
+traversal routine of the hash table you are deriving from with
+appropriate casts. The linker hash table uses `bfd_link_hash_traverse'
+in `linker.c'.
+
+ These routines may simply be defined as macros. For example, the
+a.out backend linker hash table, which is derived from the linker hash
+table, uses macros for the lookup and traversal routines. These are
+`aout_link_hash_lookup' and `aout_link_hash_traverse' in aoutx.h.

+3.2 a.out backends
+==================
+
+*Description*
+BFD supports a number of different flavours of a.out format, though the
+major differences are only the sizes of the structures on disk, and the
+shape of the relocation information.
+
+ The support is split into a basic support file `aoutx.h' and other
+files which derive functions from the base. One derivation file is
+`aoutf1.h' (for a.out flavour 1), and adds to the basic a.out functions
+support for sun3, sun4, 386 and 29k a.out files, to create a target
+jump vector for a specific target.
+
+ This information is further split out into more specific files for
+each machine, including `sunos.c' for sun3 and sun4, `newsos3.c' for
+the Sony NEWS, and `demo64.c' for a demonstration of a 64 bit a.out
+format.
+
+ The base file `aoutx.h' defines general mechanisms for reading and
+writing records to and from disk and various other methods which BFD
+requires. It is included by `aout32.c' and `aout64.c' to form the names
+`aout_32_swap_exec_header_in', `aout_64_swap_exec_header_in', etc.
+
+ As an example, this is what goes on to make the back end for a sun4,
+from `aout32.c':
+
+ #define ARCH_SIZE 32
+ #include "aoutx.h"
+
+ Which exports names:

+ aout_32_canonicalize_reloc
+ aout_32_find_nearest_line
+ aout_32_get_lineno
+ aout_32_get_reloc_upper_bound

+ #define VECNAME sunos_big_vec
+ #include "aoutf1.h"
+
+ requires all the names from `aout32.c', and produces the jump vector
+
+ sunos_big_vec
+
+ The file `host-aout.c' is a special case. It is for a large set of
+hosts that use "more or less standard" a.out files, and for which
+cross-debugging is not interesting. It uses the standard 32-bit a.out
+support routines, but determines the file offsets and addresses of the
+text, data, and BSS sections, the machine architecture and machine
+type, and the entry point address, in a host-dependent manner. Once
+these values have been determined, generic code is used to handle the
+object file.
+
+ When porting it to run on a new system, you must supply:
+
+ HOST_PAGE_SIZE
+ HOST_SEGMENT_SIZE
+ HOST_MACHINE_ARCH (optional)
+ HOST_MACHINE_MACHINE (optional)
+ HOST_TEXT_START_ADDR
+ HOST_STACK_END_ADDR
+
+ in the file `../include/sys/h-XXX.h' (for your host). These values,
+plus the structures and macros defined in `a.out.h' on your host
+system, will produce a BFD target that will access ordinary a.out files
+on your host. To configure a new machine to use `host-aout.c', specify:
+
+ TDEFAULTS = -DDEFAULT_VECTOR=host_aout_big_vec
+ TDEPFILES= host-aout.o trad-core.o
+
+ in the `config/XXX.mt' file, and modify `configure.in' to use the
+`XXX.mt' file (by setting "`bfd_target=XXX'") when your configuration
+is selected.
+
+3.2.1 Relocations
+-----------------
+
+*Description*
+The file `aoutx.h' provides for both the _standard_ and _extended_
+forms of a.out relocation records.
+
+ The standard records contain only an address, a symbol index, and a

+full integer for an addend.
+

+
+3.3 coff backends
+=================
+
+BFD supports a number of different flavours of coff format. The major
+differences between formats are the sizes and alignments of fields in
+structures on disk, and the occasional extra field.
+
+ Coff in all its varieties is implemented with a few common files and
+a number of implementation specific files. For example, The 88k bcs
+coff format is implemented in the file `coff-m88k.c'. This file
+`#include's `coff/m88k.h' which defines the external structure of the
+coff format for the 88k, and `coff/internal.h' which defines the
+internal structure. `coff-m88k.c' also defines the relocations used by
+the 88k format *Note Relocations::.
+
+ The Intel i960 processor version of coff is implemented in
+`coff-i960.c'. This file has the same structure as `coff-m88k.c',
+except that it includes `coff/i960.h' rather than `coff-m88k.h'.
+
+3.3.1 Porting to a new version of coff
+--------------------------------------
+
+The recommended method is to select from the existing implementations
+the version of coff which is most like the one you want to use. For
+example, we'll say that i386 coff is the one you select, and that your
+coff flavour is called foo. Copy `i386coff.c' to `foocoff.c', copy
+`../include/coff/i386.h' to `../include/coff/foo.h', and add the lines
+to `targets.c' and `Makefile.in' so that your new back end is used.
+Alter the shapes of the structures in `../include/coff/foo.h' so that
+they match what you need. You will probably also have to add `#ifdef's
+to the code in `coff/internal.h' and `coffcode.h' if your version of
+coff is too wild.
+
+ You can verify that your new BFD backend works quite simply by
+building `objdump' from the `binutils' directory, and making sure that
+its version of what's going on and your host system's idea (assuming it
+has the pretty standard coff dump utility, usually called `att-dump' or
+just `dump') are the same. Then clean up your code, and send what
+you've done to Cygnus. Then your stuff will be in the next release, and
+you won't have to keep integrating it.
+
+3.3.2 How the coff backend works
+--------------------------------
+
+3.3.2.1 File layout
+...................
+
+The Coff backend is split into generic routines that are applicable to
+any Coff target and routines that are specific to a particular target.
+The target-specific routines are further split into ones which are
+basically the same for all Coff targets except that they use the
+external symbol format or use different values for certain constants.
+
+ The generic routines are in `coffgen.c'. These routines work for
+any Coff target. They use some hooks into the target specific code;
+the hooks are in a `bfd_coff_backend_data' structure, one of which
+exists for each target.
+
+ The essentially similar target-specific routines are in
+`coffcode.h'. This header file includes executable C code. The
+various Coff targets first include the appropriate Coff header file,
+make any special defines that are needed, and then include `coffcode.h'.
+
+ Some of the Coff targets then also have additional routines in the
+target source file itself.
+
+ For example, `coff-i960.c' includes `coff/internal.h' and
+`coff/i960.h'. It then defines a few constants, such as `I960', and
+includes `coffcode.h'. Since the i960 has complex relocation types,
+`coff-i960.c' also includes some code to manipulate the i960 relocs.
+This code is not in `coffcode.h' because it would not be used by any
+other target.
+
+3.3.2.2 Coff long section names
+...............................
+
+In the standard Coff object format, section names are limited to the
+eight bytes available in the `s_name' field of the `SCNHDR' section
+header structure. The format requires the field to be NUL-padded, but
+not necessarily NUL-terminated, so the longest section names permitted
+are a full eight characters.
+
+ The Microsoft PE variants of the Coff object file format add an
+extension to support the use of long section names. This extension is
+defined in section 4 of the Microsoft PE/COFF specification (rev 8.1).
+If a section name is too long to fit into the section header's `s_name'
+field, it is instead placed into the string table, and the `s_name'
+field is filled with a slash ("/") followed by the ASCII decimal
+representation of the offset of the full name relative to the string
+table base.
+
+ Note that this implies that the extension can only be used in object
+files, as executables do not contain a string table. The standard
+specifies that long section names from objects emitted into executable
+images are to be truncated.
+
+ However, as a GNU extension, BFD can generate executable images that
+contain a string table and long section names. This would appear to be
+technically valid, as the standard only says that Coff debugging
+information is deprecated, not forbidden, and in practice it works,
+although some tools that parse PE files expecting the MS standard
+format may become confused; `PEview' is one known example.
+
+ The functionality is supported in BFD by code implemented under the
+control of the macro `COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES'. If not defined, the
+format does not support long section names in any way. If defined, it
+is used to initialise a flag, `_bfd_coff_long_section_names', and a
+hook function pointer, `_bfd_coff_set_long_section_names', in the Coff
+backend data structure. The flag controls the generation of long
+section names in output BFDs at runtime; if it is false, as it will be
+by default when generating an executable image, long section names are
+truncated; if true, the long section names extension is employed. The
+hook points to a function that allows the value of the flag to be
+altered at runtime, on formats that support long section names at all;
+on other formats it points to a stub that returns an error indication.
+With input BFDs, the flag is set according to whether any long section
+names are detected while reading the section headers. For a completely
+new BFD, the flag is set to the default for the target format. This
+information can be used by a client of the BFD library when deciding
+what output format to generate, and means that a BFD that is opened for
+read and subsequently converted to a writeable BFD and modified
+in-place will retain whatever format it had on input.
+
+ If `COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES' is simply defined (blank), or is
+defined to the value "1", then long section names are enabled by
+default; if it is defined to the value zero, they are disabled by
+default (but still accepted in input BFDs). The header `coffcode.h'
+defines a macro, `COFF_DEFAULT_LONG_SECTION_NAMES', which is used in
+the backends to initialise the backend data structure fields
+appropriately; see the comments for further detail.
+
+3.3.2.3 Bit twiddling
+.....................
+
+Each flavour of coff supported in BFD has its own header file
+describing the external layout of the structures. There is also an
+internal description of the coff layout, in `coff/internal.h'. A major
+function of the coff backend is swapping the bytes and twiddling the
+bits to translate the external form of the structures into the normal
+internal form. This is all performed in the `bfd_swap'_thing_direction
+routines. Some elements are different sizes between different versions
+of coff; it is the duty of the coff version specific include file to
+override the definitions of various packing routines in `coffcode.h'.
+E.g., the size of line number entry in coff is sometimes 16 bits, and
+sometimes 32 bits. `#define'ing `PUT_LNSZ_LNNO' and `GET_LNSZ_LNNO'
+will select the correct one. No doubt, some day someone will find a
+version of coff which has a varying field size not catered to at the
+moment. To port BFD, that person will have to add more `#defines'.
+Three of the bit twiddling routines are exported to `gdb';
+`coff_swap_aux_in', `coff_swap_sym_in' and `coff_swap_lineno_in'. `GDB'
+reads the symbol table on its own, but uses BFD to fix things up. More
+of the bit twiddlers are exported for `gas'; `coff_swap_aux_out',
+`coff_swap_sym_out', `coff_swap_lineno_out', `coff_swap_reloc_out',
+`coff_swap_filehdr_out', `coff_swap_aouthdr_out',
+`coff_swap_scnhdr_out'. `Gas' currently keeps track of all the symbol
+table and reloc drudgery itself, thereby saving the internal BFD
+overhead, but uses BFD to swap things on the way out, making cross
+ports much safer. Doing so also allows BFD (and thus the linker) to
+use the same header files as `gas', which makes one avenue to disaster
+disappear.
+
+3.3.2.4 Symbol reading
+......................
+
+The simple canonical form for symbols used by BFD is not rich enough to
+keep all the information available in a coff symbol table. The back end
+gets around this problem by keeping the original symbol table around,
+"behind the scenes".
+
+ When a symbol table is requested (through a call to
+`bfd_canonicalize_symtab'), a request gets through to
+`coff_get_normalized_symtab'. This reads the symbol table from the coff
+file and swaps all the structures inside into the internal form. It
+also fixes up all the pointers in the table (represented in the file by
+offsets from the first symbol in the table) into physical pointers to
+elements in the new internal table. This involves some work since the
+meanings of fields change depending upon context: a field that is a
+pointer to another structure in the symbol table at one moment may be
+the size in bytes of a structure at the next. Another pass is made
+over the table. All symbols which mark file names (`C_FILE' symbols)
+are modified so that the internal string points to the value in the
+auxent (the real filename) rather than the normal text associated with
+the symbol (`".file"').
+
+ At this time the symbol names are moved around. Coff stores all
+symbols less than nine characters long physically within the symbol
+table; longer strings are kept at the end of the file in the string
+table. This pass moves all strings into memory and replaces them with
+pointers to the strings.
+
+ The symbol table is massaged once again, this time to create the
+canonical table used by the BFD application. Each symbol is inspected
+in turn, and a decision made (using the `sclass' field) about the
+various flags to set in the `asymbol'. *Note Symbols::. The generated
+canonical table shares strings with the hidden internal symbol table.
+
+ Any linenumbers are read from the coff file too, and attached to the
+symbols which own the functions the linenumbers belong to.
+
+3.3.2.5 Symbol writing
+......................
+
+Writing a symbol to a coff file which didn't come from a coff file will
+lose any debugging information. The `asymbol' structure remembers the
+BFD from which the symbol was taken, and on output the back end makes
+sure that the same destination target as source target is present.
+
+ When the symbols have come from a coff file then all the debugging
+information is preserved.
+
+ Symbol tables are provided for writing to the back end in a vector
+of pointers to pointers. This allows applications like the linker to
+accumulate and output large symbol tables without having to do too much
+byte copying.
+
+ This function runs through the provided symbol table and patches
+each symbol marked as a file place holder (`C_FILE') to point to the
+next file place holder in the list. It also marks each `offset' field
+in the list with the offset from the first symbol of the current symbol.
+
+ Another function of this procedure is to turn the canonical value
+form of BFD into the form used by coff. Internally, BFD expects symbol
+values to be offsets from a section base; so a symbol physically at
+0x120, but in a section starting at 0x100, would have the value 0x20.
+Coff expects symbols to contain their final value, so symbols have
+their values changed at this point to reflect their sum with their
+owning section. This transformation uses the `output_section' field of
+the `asymbol''s `asection' *Note Sections::.
+
+ * `coff_mangle_symbols'
+ This routine runs though the provided symbol table and uses the
+offsets generated by the previous pass and the pointers generated when
+the symbol table was read in to create the structured hierarchy
+required by coff. It changes each pointer to a symbol into the index
+into the symbol table of the asymbol.
+
+ * `coff_write_symbols'
+ This routine runs through the symbol table and patches up the
+symbols from their internal form into the coff way, calls the bit
+twiddlers, and writes out the table to the file.
+
+3.3.2.6 `coff_symbol_type'

+3.3.2.8 Writing relocations
+...........................
+
+To write relocations, the back end steps though the canonical
+relocation table and create an `internal_reloc'. The symbol index to
+use is removed from the `offset' field in the symbol table supplied.
+The address comes directly from the sum of the section base address and
+the relocation offset; the type is dug directly from the howto field.
+Then the `internal_reloc' is swapped into the shape of an
+`external_reloc' and written out to disk.
+
+3.3.2.9 Reading linenumbers
+...........................
+
+Creating the linenumber table is done by reading in the entire coff
+linenumber table, and creating another table for internal use.
+
+ A coff linenumber table is structured so that each function is
+marked as having a line number of 0. Each line within the function is
+an offset from the first line in the function. The base of the line
+number information for the table is stored in the symbol associated
+with the function.
+
+ Note: The PE format uses line number 0 for a flag indicating a new
+source file.
+
+ The information is copied from the external to the internal table,
+and each symbol which marks a function is marked by pointing its...
+
+ How does this work ?
+
+3.3.2.10 Reading relocations
+............................
+
+Coff relocations are easily transformed into the internal BFD form
+(`arelent').
+
+ Reading a coff relocation table is done in the following stages:
+
+ * Read the entire coff relocation table into memory.
+
+ * Process each relocation in turn; first swap it from the external
+ to the internal form.
+
+ * Turn the symbol referenced in the relocation's symbol index into a
+ pointer into the canonical symbol table. This table is the same
+ as the one returned by a call to `bfd_canonicalize_symtab'. The
+ back end will call that routine and save the result if a
+ canonicalization hasn't been done.
+
+ * The reloc index is turned into a pointer to a howto structure, in
+ a back end specific way. For instance, the 386 and 960 use the
+ `r_type' to directly produce an index into a howto table vector;
+ the 88k subtracts a number from the `r_type' field and creates an
+ addend field.

+3.4 ELF backends
+================
+
+BFD support for ELF formats is being worked on. Currently, the best
+supported back ends are for sparc and i386 (running svr4 or Solaris 2).
+
+ Documentation of the internals of the support code still needs to be
+written. The code is changing quickly enough that we haven't bothered
+yet.
+
+
+File: bfd.info, Node: mmo, Prev: elf, Up: BFD back ends
+
+3.5 mmo backend
+===============
+
+The mmo object format is used exclusively together with Professor
+Donald E. Knuth's educational 64-bit processor MMIX. The simulator
+`mmix' which is available at
+`http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz'
+understands this format. That package also includes a combined
+assembler and linker called `mmixal'. The mmo format has no advantages
+feature-wise compared to e.g. ELF. It is a simple non-relocatable
+object format with no support for archives or debugging information,
+except for symbol value information and line numbers (which is not yet
+implemented in BFD). See
+`http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html' for more
+information about MMIX. The ELF format is used for intermediate object
+files in the BFD implementation.

+File: bfd.info, Node: File layout, Next: Symbol-table, Prev: mmo, Up: mmo
+
+3.5.1 File layout
+-----------------
+
+The mmo file contents is not partitioned into named sections as with
+e.g. ELF. Memory areas is formed by specifying the location of the
+data that follows. Only the memory area `0x0000...00' to `0x01ff...ff'
+is executable, so it is used for code (and constants) and the area
+`0x2000...00' to `0x20ff...ff' is used for writable data. *Note mmo
+section mapping::.
+
+ There is provision for specifying "special data" of 65536 different
+types. We use type 80 (decimal), arbitrarily chosen the same as the
+ELF `e_machine' number for MMIX, filling it with section information
+normally found in ELF objects. *Note mmo section mapping::.
+
+ Contents is entered as 32-bit words, xor:ed over previous contents,
+always zero-initialized. A word that starts with the byte `0x98' forms
+a command called a `lopcode', where the next byte distinguished between
+the thirteen lopcodes. The two remaining bytes, called the `Y' and `Z'
+fields, or the `YZ' field (a 16-bit big-endian number), are used for
+various purposes different for each lopcode. As documented in
+`http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmixal-intro.ps.gz', the
+lopcodes are:
+
+`lop_quote'
+ 0x98000001. The next word is contents, regardless of whether it
+ starts with 0x98 or not.
+
+`lop_loc'
+ 0x9801YYZZ, where `Z' is 1 or 2. This is a location directive,
+ setting the location for the next data to the next 32-bit word
+ (for Z = 1) or 64-bit word (for Z = 2), plus Y * 2^56. Normally
+ `Y' is 0 for the text segment and 2 for the data segment.
+
+`lop_skip'
+ 0x9802YYZZ. Increase the current location by `YZ' bytes.
+
+`lop_fixo'
+ 0x9803YYZZ, where `Z' is 1 or 2. Store the current location as 64
+ bits into the location pointed to by the next 32-bit (Z = 1) or
+ 64-bit (Z = 2) word, plus Y * 2^56.
+
+`lop_fixr'
+ 0x9804YYZZ. `YZ' is stored into the current location plus 2 - 4 *
+ YZ.
+
+`lop_fixrx'
+ 0x980500ZZ. `Z' is 16 or 24. A value `L' derived from the
+ following 32-bit word are used in a manner similar to `YZ' in
+ lop_fixr: it is xor:ed into the current location minus 4 * L. The
+ first byte of the word is 0 or 1. If it is 1, then L = (LOWEST 24
+ BITS OF WORD) - 2^Z, if 0, then L = (LOWEST 24 BITS OF WORD).
+
+`lop_file'
+ 0x9806YYZZ. `Y' is the file number, `Z' is count of 32-bit words.
+ Set the file number to `Y' and the line counter to 0. The next Z
+ * 4 bytes contain the file name, padded with zeros if the count is
+ not a multiple of four. The same `Y' may occur multiple times,
+ but `Z' must be 0 for all but the first occurrence.
+
+`lop_line'
+ 0x9807YYZZ. `YZ' is the line number. Together with lop_file, it
+ forms the source location for the next 32-bit word. Note that for
+ each non-lopcode 32-bit word, line numbers are assumed incremented
+ by one.
+
+`lop_spec'
+ 0x9808YYZZ. `YZ' is the type number. Data until the next lopcode
+ other than lop_quote forms special data of type `YZ'. *Note mmo
+ section mapping::.
+
+ Other types than 80, (or type 80 with a content that does not
+ parse) is stored in sections named `.MMIX.spec_data.N' where N is
+ the `YZ'-type. The flags for such a sections say not to allocate
+ or load the data. The vma is 0. Contents of multiple occurrences
+ of special data N is concatenated to the data of the previous
+ lop_spec Ns. The location in data or code at which the lop_spec
+ occurred is lost.
+
+`lop_pre'
+ 0x980901ZZ. The first lopcode in a file. The `Z' field forms the
+ length of header information in 32-bit words, where the first word
+ tells the time in seconds since `00:00:00 GMT Jan 1 1970'.
+
+`lop_post'
+ 0x980a00ZZ. Z > 32. This lopcode follows after all
+ content-generating lopcodes in a program. The `Z' field denotes
+ the value of `rG' at the beginning of the program. The following
+ 256 - Z big-endian 64-bit words are loaded into global registers
+ `$G' ... `$255'.
+
+`lop_stab'
+ 0x980b0000. The next-to-last lopcode in a program. Must follow
+ immediately after the lop_post lopcode and its data. After this
+ lopcode follows all symbols in a compressed format (*note
+ Symbol-table::).
+
+`lop_end'
+ 0x980cYYZZ. The last lopcode in a program. It must follow the
+ lop_stab lopcode and its data. The `YZ' field contains the number
+ of 32-bit words of symbol table information after the preceding
+ lop_stab lopcode.
+
+ Note that the lopcode "fixups"; `lop_fixr', `lop_fixrx' and
+`lop_fixo' are not generated by BFD, but are handled. They are
+generated by `mmixal'.
+
+ This trivial one-label, one-instruction file:
+
+ :Main TRAP 1,2,3
+
+ can be represented this way in mmo:
+
+ 0x98090101 - lop_pre, one 32-bit word with timestamp.
+ <timestamp>
+ 0x98010002 - lop_loc, text segment, using a 64-bit address.
+ Note that mmixal does not emit this for the file above.
+ 0x00000000 - Address, high 32 bits.
+ 0x00000000 - Address, low 32 bits.
+ 0x98060002 - lop_file, 2 32-bit words for file-name.
+ 0x74657374 - "test"
+ 0x2e730000 - ".s\0\0"
+ 0x98070001 - lop_line, line 1.
+ 0x00010203 - TRAP 1,2,3
+ 0x980a00ff - lop_post, setting $255 to 0.
+ 0x00000000
+ 0x00000000
+ 0x980b0000 - lop_stab for ":Main" = 0, serial 1.
+ 0x203a4040 *Note Symbol-table::.
+ 0x10404020
+ 0x4d206120
+ 0x69016e00
+ 0x81000000
+ 0x980c0005 - lop_end; symbol table contained five 32-bit words.

+
+3.5.2 Symbol table format
+-------------------------
+
+From mmixal.w (or really, the generated mmixal.tex) in
+`http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz'):
+"Symbols are stored and retrieved by means of a `ternary search trie',
+following ideas of Bentley and Sedgewick. (See ACM-SIAM Symp. on
+Discrete Algorithms `8' (1997), 360-369; R.Sedgewick, `Algorithms in C'
+(Reading, Mass. Addison-Wesley, 1998), `15.4'.) Each trie node stores
+a character, and there are branches to subtries for the cases where a
+given character is less than, equal to, or greater than the character
+in the trie. There also is a pointer to a symbol table entry if a
+symbol ends at the current node."
+
+ So it's a tree encoded as a stream of bytes. The stream of bytes
+acts on a single virtual global symbol, adding and removing characters
+and signalling complete symbol points. Here, we read the stream and
+create symbols at the completion points.
+
+ First, there's a control byte `m'. If any of the listed bits in `m'
+is nonzero, we execute what stands at the right, in the listed order:
+
+ (MMO3_LEFT)
+ 0x40 - Traverse left trie.
+ (Read a new command byte and recurse.)
+
+ (MMO3_SYMBITS)
+ 0x2f - Read the next byte as a character and store it in the
+ current character position; increment character position.
+ Test the bits of `m':
+
+ (MMO3_WCHAR)
+ 0x80 - The character is 16-bit (so read another byte,
+ merge into current character.
+
+ (MMO3_TYPEBITS)
+ 0xf - We have a complete symbol; parse the type, value
+ and serial number and do what should be done
+ with a symbol. The type and length information
+ is in j = (m & 0xf).
+
+ (MMO3_REGQUAL_BITS)
+ j == 0xf: A register variable. The following
+ byte tells which register.
+ j <= 8: An absolute symbol. Read j bytes as the
+ big-endian number the symbol equals.
+ A j = 2 with two zero bytes denotes an
+ unknown symbol.
+ j > 8: As with j <= 8, but add (0x20 << 56)
+ to the value in the following j - 8
+ bytes.
+
+ Then comes the serial number, as a variant of
+ uleb128, but better named ubeb128:
+ Read bytes and shift the previous value left 7
+ (multiply by 128). Add in the new byte, repeat
+ until a byte has bit 7 set. The serial number
+ is the computed value minus 128.
+
+ (MMO3_MIDDLE)
+ 0x20 - Traverse middle trie. (Read a new command byte
+ and recurse.) Decrement character position.
+
+ (MMO3_RIGHT)
+ 0x10 - Traverse right trie. (Read a new command byte and
+ recurse.)
+
+ Let's look again at the `lop_stab' for the trivial file (*note File
+layout::).
+
+ 0x980b0000 - lop_stab for ":Main" = 0, serial 1.
+ 0x203a4040
+ 0x10404020
+ 0x4d206120
+ 0x69016e00
+ 0x81000000
+
+ This forms the trivial trie (note that the path between ":" and "M"
+is redundant):
+
+ 203a ":"
+ 40 /
+ 40 /
+ 10 \
+ 40 /
+ 40 /
+ 204d "M"
+ 2061 "a"
+ 2069 "i"
+ 016e "n" is the last character in a full symbol, and
+ with a value represented in one byte.
+ 00 The value is 0.
+ 81 The serial number is 1.

+
+3.5.3 mmo section mapping
+-------------------------
+
+The implementation in BFD uses special data type 80 (decimal) to
+encapsulate and describe named sections, containing e.g. debug
+information. If needed, any datum in the encapsulation will be quoted
+using lop_quote. First comes a 32-bit word holding the number of
+32-bit words containing the zero-terminated zero-padded segment name.
+After the name there's a 32-bit word holding flags describing the
+section type. Then comes a 64-bit big-endian word with the section
+length (in bytes), then another with the section start address.
+Depending on the type of section, the contents might follow,
+zero-padded to 32-bit boundary. For a loadable section (such as data
+or code), the contents might follow at some later point, not
+necessarily immediately, as a lop_loc with the same start address as in
+the section description, followed by the contents. This in effect
+forms a descriptor that must be emitted before the actual contents.
+Sections described this way must not overlap.
+
+ For areas that don't have such descriptors, synthetic sections are
+formed by BFD. Consecutive contents in the two memory areas
+`0x0000...00' to `0x01ff...ff' and `0x2000...00' to `0x20ff...ff' are
+entered in sections named `.text' and `.data' respectively. If an area
+is not otherwise described, but would together with a neighboring lower
+area be less than `0x40000000' bytes long, it is joined with the lower
+area and the gap is zero-filled. For other cases, a new section is
+formed, named `.MMIX.sec.N'. Here, N is a number, a running count
+through the mmo file, starting at 0.
+
+ A loadable section specified as:
+
+ .section secname,"ax"
+ TETRA 1,2,3,4,-1,-2009
+ BYTE 80
+
+ and linked to address `0x4', is represented by the sequence:
+
+ 0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
+ 0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
+ 0x7365636e - "secn"
+ 0x616d6500 - "ame\0"
+ 0x00000033 - flags CODE, READONLY, LOAD, ALLOC
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
+ 0x0000001c - section length is 28 bytes; 6 * 4 + 1 + alignment to 32 bits
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section address
+ 0x00000004 - section address is 4
+ 0x98010002 - 64 bits with address of following data
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of address
+ 0x00000004 - low 32 bits: data starts at address 4
+ 0x00000001 - 1
+ 0x00000002 - 2
+ 0x00000003 - 3
+ 0x00000004 - 4
+ 0xffffffff - -1
+ 0xfffff827 - -2009
+ 0x50000000 - 80 as a byte, padded with zeros.
+
+ Note that the lop_spec wrapping does not include the section
+contents. Compare this to a non-loaded section specified as:
+
+ .section thirdsec
+ TETRA 200001,100002
+ BYTE 38,40
+
+ This, when linked to address `0x200000000000001c', is represented by:
+
+ 0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
+ 0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
+ 0x7365636e - "thir"
+ 0x616d6500 - "dsec"
+ 0x00000010 - flag READONLY
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
+ 0x0000000c - section length is 12 bytes; 2 * 4 + 2 + alignment to 32 bits

+ Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ `http://fsf.org/'
+
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ 0. PREAMBLE
+
+ The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
+ functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
+ assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
+ with or without modifying it, either commercially or
+ noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
+ author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
+ being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
+
+ This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
+ works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
+ It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
+ license designed for free software.
+
+ We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
+ free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
+ free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
+ that the software does. But this License is not limited to
+ software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
+ of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
+ We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
+ instruction or reference.
+
+ 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
+
+ This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
+ that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
+ can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
+ grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
+ to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
+ "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
+ of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You
+ accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
+ way requiring permission under copyright law.
+
+ A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
+ Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
+ modifications and/or translated into another language.
+
+ A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
+ of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
+ publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
+ subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
+ fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
+ is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
+ explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
+ historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
+ of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
+ regarding them.
+
+ The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
+ titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
+ the notice that says that the Document is released under this
+ License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
+ Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
+ The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
+ does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
+
+ The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
+ listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
+ that says that the Document is released under this License. A
+ Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
+ be at most 25 words.
+
+ A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
+ represented in a format whose specification is available to the
+ general public, that is suitable for revising the document
+ straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
+ composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
+ widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
+ text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
+ formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an
+ otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
+ markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
+ modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is
+ not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
+ copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
+
+ Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
+ ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
+ SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
+ standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
+ human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
+ PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
+ can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
+ XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
+ available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
+ produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
+
+ The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
+ plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
+ material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
+ works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
+ Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
+ work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
+
+ The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
+ of the Document to the public.
+
+ A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
+ whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
+ following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
+ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
+ "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
+ To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
+ Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
+ to this definition.
+
+ The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
+ which states that this License applies to the Document. These
+ Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
+ this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
+ implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
+ has no effect on the meaning of this License.
+
+ 2. VERBATIM COPYING
+
+ You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
+ commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
+ copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
+ applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
+ add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
+ may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
+ or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
+ you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
+ distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
+ the conditions in section 3.
+
+ You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
+ and you may publicly display copies.
+
+ 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
+
+ If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
+ have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
+ the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
+ enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
+ these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
+ Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
+ and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
+ front cover must present the full title with all words of the
+ title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material
+ on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the
+ covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
+ satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
+ other respects.
+
+ If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+ legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+ reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
+ adjacent pages.
+
+ If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
+ numbering more than 100, you must either include a
+ machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
+ state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
+ which the general network-using public has access to download
+ using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
+ copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
+ latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
+ begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
+ this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
+ location until at least one year after the last time you
+ distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
+ retailers) of that edition to the public.
+
+ It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
+ the Document well before redistributing any large number of
+ copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
+ version of the Document.
+
+ 4. MODIFICATIONS
+
+ You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
+ under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
+ release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
+ the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
+ licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
+ whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these
+ things in the Modified Version:
+
+ A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
+ distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
+ previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
+ in the History section of the Document). You may use the
+ same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
+ that version gives permission.
+
+ B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
+ entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
+ the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
+ principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
+ authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
+ from this requirement.
+
+ C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
+ Modified Version, as the publisher.
+
+ D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
+
+ E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
+ adjacent to the other copyright notices.
+
+ F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
+ notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
+ Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
+ the Addendum below.
+
+ G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
+ Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
+ license notice.
+
+ H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+
+ I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
+ and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
+ authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
+ the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in
+ the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
+ and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
+ then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
+ the previous sentence.
+
+ J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
+ for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
+ likewise the network locations given in the Document for
+ previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in
+ the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a
+ work that was published at least four years before the
+ Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
+ it refers to gives permission.
+
+ K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
+ Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
+ section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
+ acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
+
+ L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
+ unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
+ or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
+ titles.
+
+ M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
+ may not be included in the Modified Version.
+
+ N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
+ "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
+ Section.
+
+ O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+ If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
+ appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
+ material copied from the Document, you may at your option
+ designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this,
+ add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
+ Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any
+ other section titles.
+
+ You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
+ nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
+ parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
+ has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
+ definition of a standard.
+
+ You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
+ and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
+ of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one
+ passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
+ added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the
+ Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
+ previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
+ you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
+ replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
+ publisher that added the old one.
+
+ The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
+ License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
+ assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
+
+ 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may combine the Document with other documents released under
+ this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
+ modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
+ all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
+ unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
+ combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
+ their Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+ The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
+ multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
+ copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
+ but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
+ by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
+ original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
+ unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
+ the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
+ combined work.
+
+ In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
+ "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
+ Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
+ "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
+ must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
+
+ 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
+ documents released under this License, and replace the individual
+ copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
+ that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
+ rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
+ documents in all other respects.
+
+ You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
+ distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
+ a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
+ this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
+ that document.
+
+ 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+
+ A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
+ separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
+ a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
+ copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
+ legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
+ works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
+ License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
+ are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
+
+ If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
+ copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
+ of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
+ on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
+ electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
+ form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
+ the whole aggregate.
+
+ 8. TRANSLATION
+
+ Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
+ distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
+ 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
+ permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+ translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+ original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+ translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
+ Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
+ include the original English version of this License and the
+ original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
+ disagreement between the translation and the original version of
+ this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
+ prevail.
+
+ If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
+ "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
+ Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
+ actual title.
+
+ 9. TERMINATION
+
+ You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
+ except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+ otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
+ and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+
+ However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+ license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+ provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly
+ and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
+ copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
+ reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+ Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+ reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+ violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+ received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
+ that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
+ after your receipt of the notice.
+
+ Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
+ the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from
+ you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and
+ not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of
+ the same material does not give you any rights to use it.
+
+ 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
+
+ The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
+ the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
+ versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+ differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
+ `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
+
+ Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
+ number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
+ version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
+ have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
+ that specified version or of any later version that has been
+ published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If
+ the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
+ you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
+ Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy
+ can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
+ proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
+ authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
+
+ 11. RELICENSING
+
+ "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
+ World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
+ provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
+ public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
+ A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the
+ site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
+ site.
+
+ "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
+ license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
+ corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
+ California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
+ published by that same organization.
+
+ "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
+ in part, as part of another Document.
+
+ An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
+ License, and if all works that were first published under this
+ License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
+ incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
+ texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
+ to November 1, 2008.
+
+ The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
+ site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
+ 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
+
+
+ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
+====================================================
+
+To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
+the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
+notices just after the title page:
+
+ Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
+ Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
+ under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
+ or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
+ with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
+ Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
+ Free Documentation License''.
+
+ If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
+Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
+
+ with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
+ the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
+ being LIST.
+
+ If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
+combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
+situation.
+
+ If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
+recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
+free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
+permit their use in free software.

+Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file

+
+The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not
+so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since
+that might not be generally possible (archive members for example).
+It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify
+it so that such results were guaranteed.
+
+Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
+object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
+As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
+use string tables for which the first @code{sizeof (long)} bytes of the
+table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
+If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
+string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
+some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
+for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
+error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
+exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
+of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
+This function at least allows us to answer the question, "is the
+size reasonable?".

+@section Error reporting
+Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their
+individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error,
+they call @code{bfd_set_error} to set an error condition that callers
+can check by calling @code{bfd_get_error}.
+If that returns @code{bfd_error_system_call}, then check
+@code{errno}.
+
+The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to
+use @code{bfd_perror}.
+
+@subsection Type @code{bfd_error_type}
+The values returned by @code{bfd_get_error} are defined by the
+enumerated type @code{bfd_error_type}.
+
+
+@example
+
+typedef enum bfd_error
+@{
+ bfd_error_no_error = 0,
+ bfd_error_system_call,
+ bfd_error_invalid_target,
+ bfd_error_wrong_format,

+ bfd_error_invalid_operation,
+ bfd_error_no_memory,
+ bfd_error_no_symbols,
+ bfd_error_no_armap,
+ bfd_error_no_more_archived_files,
+ bfd_error_malformed_archive,
+ bfd_error_file_not_recognized,
+ bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized,
+ bfd_error_no_contents,
+ bfd_error_nonrepresentable_section,
+ bfd_error_no_debug_section,
+ bfd_error_bad_value,
+ bfd_error_file_truncated,
+ bfd_error_file_too_big,

+@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_error}
+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example
+void bfd_set_error (bfd_error_type error_tag, ...);

+@strong{Description}@*
+Set the BFD error condition to be @var{error_tag}.
+If @var{error_tag} is bfd_error_on_input, then this function
+takes two more parameters, the input bfd where the error
+occurred, and the bfd_error_type error.
+
+@findex bfd_errmsg
+@subsubsection @code{bfd_errmsg}
+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example
+const char *bfd_errmsg (bfd_error_type error_tag);

+@findex bfd_perror
+@subsubsection @code{bfd_perror}
+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example
+void bfd_perror (const char *message);
+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+Print to the standard error stream a string describing the
+last BFD error that occurred, or the last system error if
+the last BFD error was a system call failure. If @var{message}
+is non-NULL and non-empty, the error string printed is preceded
+by @var{message}, a colon, and a space. It is followed by a newline.
+
+@subsection BFD error handler
+Some BFD functions want to print messages describing the
+problem. They call a BFD error handler function. This
+function may be overridden by the program.
+
+The BFD error handler acts like printf.
+
+
+@example
+
+typedef void (*bfd_error_handler_type) (const char *, ...);
+
+@end example
+@findex bfd_set_error_handler
+@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_error_handler}
+@strong{Synopsis}

+@subsubsection @code{bfd_set_error_program_name}
+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example
+void bfd_set_error_program_name (const char *);
+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+Set the program name to use when printing a BFD error. This
+is printed before the error message followed by a colon and
+space. The string must not be changed after it is passed to
+this function.
+
+@findex bfd_get_error_handler

+@section File caching
+The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows
+the application to open as many BFDs as it wants without
+regard to the underlying operating system's file descriptor
+limit (often as low as 20 open files). The module in
+@code{cache.c} maintains a least recently used list of
+@code{BFD_CACHE_MAX_OPEN} files, and exports the name
+@code{bfd_cache_lookup}, which runs around and makes sure that
+the required BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to
+close, closes it and opens the one wanted, returning its file
+handle.

+@section coff backends
+BFD supports a number of different flavours of coff format.
+The major differences between formats are the sizes and
+alignments of fields in structures on disk, and the occasional
+extra field.
+
+Coff in all its varieties is implemented with a few common
+files and a number of implementation specific files. For
+example, The 88k bcs coff format is implemented in the file
+@file{coff-m88k.c}. This file @code{#include}s
+@file{coff/m88k.h} which defines the external structure of the
+coff format for the 88k, and @file{coff/internal.h} which
+defines the internal structure. @file{coff-m88k.c} also
+defines the relocations used by the 88k format
+@xref{Relocations}.
+
+The Intel i960 processor version of coff is implemented in
+@file{coff-i960.c}. This file has the same structure as
+@file{coff-m88k.c}, except that it includes @file{coff/i960.h}
+rather than @file{coff-m88k.h}.
+
+@subsection Porting to a new version of coff
+The recommended method is to select from the existing
+implementations the version of coff which is most like the one
+you want to use. For example, we'll say that i386 coff is
+the one you select, and that your coff flavour is called foo.
+Copy @file{i386coff.c} to @file{foocoff.c}, copy
+@file{../include/coff/i386.h} to @file{../include/coff/foo.h},
+and add the lines to @file{targets.c} and @file{Makefile.in}
+so that your new back end is used. Alter the shapes of the
+structures in @file{../include/coff/foo.h} so that they match
+what you need. You will probably also have to add
+@code{#ifdef}s to the code in @file{coff/internal.h} and
+@file{coffcode.h} if your version of coff is too wild.
+
+You can verify that your new BFD backend works quite simply by
+building @file{objdump} from the @file{binutils} directory,
+and making sure that its version of what's going on and your
+host system's idea (assuming it has the pretty standard coff
+dump utility, usually called @code{att-dump} or just
+@code{dump}) are the same. Then clean up your code, and send
+what you've done to Cygnus. Then your stuff will be in the
+next release, and you won't have to keep integrating it.
+
+@subsection How the coff backend works
+
+
+@subsubsection File layout
+The Coff backend is split into generic routines that are
+applicable to any Coff target and routines that are specific
+to a particular target. The target-specific routines are
+further split into ones which are basically the same for all
+Coff targets except that they use the external symbol format
+or use different values for certain constants.
+
+The generic routines are in @file{coffgen.c}. These routines
+work for any Coff target. They use some hooks into the target
+specific code; the hooks are in a @code{bfd_coff_backend_data}
+structure, one of which exists for each target.
+
+The essentially similar target-specific routines are in
+@file{coffcode.h}. This header file includes executable C code.
+The various Coff targets first include the appropriate Coff
+header file, make any special defines that are needed, and
+then include @file{coffcode.h}.
+
+Some of the Coff targets then also have additional routines in
+the target source file itself.
+
+For example, @file{coff-i960.c} includes
+@file{coff/internal.h} and @file{coff/i960.h}. It then
+defines a few constants, such as @code{I960}, and includes
+@file{coffcode.h}. Since the i960 has complex relocation
+types, @file{coff-i960.c} also includes some code to
+manipulate the i960 relocs. This code is not in
+@file{coffcode.h} because it would not be used by any other
+target.
+
+@subsubsection Coff long section names
+In the standard Coff object format, section names are limited to
+the eight bytes available in the @code{s_name} field of the
+@code{SCNHDR} section header structure. The format requires the
+field to be NUL-padded, but not necessarily NUL-terminated, so
+the longest section names permitted are a full eight characters.
+
+The Microsoft PE variants of the Coff object file format add
+an extension to support the use of long section names. This
+extension is defined in section 4 of the Microsoft PE/COFF
+specification (rev 8.1). If a section name is too long to fit
+into the section header's @code{s_name} field, it is instead
+placed into the string table, and the @code{s_name} field is
+filled with a slash ("/") followed by the ASCII decimal
+representation of the offset of the full name relative to the
+string table base.
+
+Note that this implies that the extension can only be used in object
+files, as executables do not contain a string table. The standard
+specifies that long section names from objects emitted into executable
+images are to be truncated.
+
+However, as a GNU extension, BFD can generate executable images
+that contain a string table and long section names. This
+would appear to be technically valid, as the standard only says
+that Coff debugging information is deprecated, not forbidden,
+and in practice it works, although some tools that parse PE files
+expecting the MS standard format may become confused; @file{PEview} is
+one known example.
+
+The functionality is supported in BFD by code implemented under
+the control of the macro @code{COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES}. If not
+defined, the format does not support long section names in any way.
+If defined, it is used to initialise a flag,
+@code{_bfd_coff_long_section_names}, and a hook function pointer,
+@code{_bfd_coff_set_long_section_names}, in the Coff backend data
+structure. The flag controls the generation of long section names
+in output BFDs at runtime; if it is false, as it will be by default
+when generating an executable image, long section names are truncated;
+if true, the long section names extension is employed. The hook
+points to a function that allows the value of the flag to be altered
+at runtime, on formats that support long section names at all; on
+other formats it points to a stub that returns an error indication.
+With input BFDs, the flag is set according to whether any long section
+names are detected while reading the section headers. For a completely
+new BFD, the flag is set to the default for the target format. This
+information can be used by a client of the BFD library when deciding
+what output format to generate, and means that a BFD that is opened
+for read and subsequently converted to a writeable BFD and modified
+in-place will retain whatever format it had on input.
+
+If @code{COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES} is simply defined (blank), or is
+defined to the value "1", then long section names are enabled by
+default; if it is defined to the value zero, they are disabled by
+default (but still accepted in input BFDs). The header @file{coffcode.h}
+defines a macro, @code{COFF_DEFAULT_LONG_SECTION_NAMES}, which is
+used in the backends to initialise the backend data structure fields
+appropriately; see the comments for further detail.
+
+@subsubsection Bit twiddling
+Each flavour of coff supported in BFD has its own header file
+describing the external layout of the structures. There is also
+an internal description of the coff layout, in
+@file{coff/internal.h}. A major function of the
+coff backend is swapping the bytes and twiddling the bits to
+translate the external form of the structures into the normal
+internal form. This is all performed in the
+@code{bfd_swap}_@i{thing}_@i{direction} routines. Some
+elements are different sizes between different versions of
+coff; it is the duty of the coff version specific include file
+to override the definitions of various packing routines in
+@file{coffcode.h}. E.g., the size of line number entry in coff is
+sometimes 16 bits, and sometimes 32 bits. @code{#define}ing
+@code{PUT_LNSZ_LNNO} and @code{GET_LNSZ_LNNO} will select the
+correct one. No doubt, some day someone will find a version of
+coff which has a varying field size not catered to at the
+moment. To port BFD, that person will have to add more @code{#defines}.
+Three of the bit twiddling routines are exported to
+@code{gdb}; @code{coff_swap_aux_in}, @code{coff_swap_sym_in}
+and @code{coff_swap_lineno_in}. @code{GDB} reads the symbol
+table on its own, but uses BFD to fix things up. More of the
+bit twiddlers are exported for @code{gas};
+@code{coff_swap_aux_out}, @code{coff_swap_sym_out},
+@code{coff_swap_lineno_out}, @code{coff_swap_reloc_out},
+@code{coff_swap_filehdr_out}, @code{coff_swap_aouthdr_out},
+@code{coff_swap_scnhdr_out}. @code{Gas} currently keeps track
+of all the symbol table and reloc drudgery itself, thereby
+saving the internal BFD overhead, but uses BFD to swap things
+on the way out, making cross ports much safer. Doing so also
+allows BFD (and thus the linker) to use the same header files
+as @code{gas}, which makes one avenue to disaster disappear.
+
+@subsubsection Symbol reading
+The simple canonical form for symbols used by BFD is not rich
+enough to keep all the information available in a coff symbol
+table. The back end gets around this problem by keeping the original
+symbol table around, "behind the scenes".
+
+When a symbol table is requested (through a call to
+@code{bfd_canonicalize_symtab}), a request gets through to
+@code{coff_get_normalized_symtab}. This reads the symbol table from
+the coff file and swaps all the structures inside into the
+internal form. It also fixes up all the pointers in the table
+(represented in the file by offsets from the first symbol in
+the table) into physical pointers to elements in the new
+internal table. This involves some work since the meanings of
+fields change depending upon context: a field that is a
+pointer to another structure in the symbol table at one moment
+may be the size in bytes of a structure at the next. Another
+pass is made over the table. All symbols which mark file names
+(@code{C_FILE} symbols) are modified so that the internal
+string points to the value in the auxent (the real filename)
+rather than the normal text associated with the symbol
+(@code{".file"}).
+
+At this time the symbol names are moved around. Coff stores
+all symbols less than nine characters long physically
+within the symbol table; longer strings are kept at the end of
+the file in the string table. This pass moves all strings
+into memory and replaces them with pointers to the strings.
+
+The symbol table is massaged once again, this time to create
+the canonical table used by the BFD application. Each symbol
+is inspected in turn, and a decision made (using the
+@code{sclass} field) about the various flags to set in the
+@code{asymbol}. @xref{Symbols}. The generated canonical table
+shares strings with the hidden internal symbol table.
+
+Any linenumbers are read from the coff file too, and attached
+to the symbols which own the functions the linenumbers belong to.
+
+@subsubsection Symbol writing
+Writing a symbol to a coff file which didn't come from a coff
+file will lose any debugging information. The @code{asymbol}
+structure remembers the BFD from which the symbol was taken, and on
+output the back end makes sure that the same destination target as
+source target is present.
+
+When the symbols have come from a coff file then all the
+debugging information is preserved.
+
+Symbol tables are provided for writing to the back end in a
+vector of pointers to pointers. This allows applications like
+the linker to accumulate and output large symbol tables
+without having to do too much byte copying.
+
+This function runs through the provided symbol table and
+patches each symbol marked as a file place holder
+(@code{C_FILE}) to point to the next file place holder in the
+list. It also marks each @code{offset} field in the list with
+the offset from the first symbol of the current symbol.
+
+Another function of this procedure is to turn the canonical
+value form of BFD into the form used by coff. Internally, BFD
+expects symbol values to be offsets from a section base; so a
+symbol physically at 0x120, but in a section starting at
+0x100, would have the value 0x20. Coff expects symbols to
+contain their final value, so symbols have their values
+changed at this point to reflect their sum with their owning
+section. This transformation uses the
+@code{output_section} field of the @code{asymbol}'s
+@code{asection} @xref{Sections}.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+@code{coff_mangle_symbols}
+@end itemize
+This routine runs though the provided symbol table and uses
+the offsets generated by the previous pass and the pointers
+generated when the symbol table was read in to create the
+structured hierarchy required by coff. It changes each pointer
+to a symbol into the index into the symbol table of the asymbol.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+@code{coff_write_symbols}
+@end itemize
+This routine runs through the symbol table and patches up the
+symbols from their internal form into the coff way, calls the
+bit twiddlers, and writes out the table to the file.

+@subsubsection Writing relocations
+To write relocations, the back end steps though the
+canonical relocation table and create an
+@code{internal_reloc}. The symbol index to use is removed from
+the @code{offset} field in the symbol table supplied. The
+address comes directly from the sum of the section base
+address and the relocation offset; the type is dug directly
+from the howto field. Then the @code{internal_reloc} is
+swapped into the shape of an @code{external_reloc} and written
+out to disk.
+
+@subsubsection Reading linenumbers
+Creating the linenumber table is done by reading in the entire
+coff linenumber table, and creating another table for internal use.
+
+A coff linenumber table is structured so that each function
+is marked as having a line number of 0. Each line within the
+function is an offset from the first line in the function. The
+base of the line number information for the table is stored in
+the symbol associated with the function.
+
+Note: The PE format uses line number 0 for a flag indicating a
+new source file.
+
+The information is copied from the external to the internal
+table, and each symbol which marks a function is marked by
+pointing its...
+
+How does this work ?
+
+@subsubsection Reading relocations
+Coff relocations are easily transformed into the internal BFD form
+(@code{arelent}).
+
+Reading a coff relocation table is done in the following stages:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+Read the entire coff relocation table into memory.
+
+@item
+Process each relocation in turn; first swap it from the
+external to the internal form.
+
+@item
+Turn the symbol referenced in the relocation's symbol index
+into a pointer into the canonical symbol table.
+This table is the same as the one returned by a call to
+@code{bfd_canonicalize_symtab}. The back end will call that
+routine and save the result if a canonicalization hasn't been done.
+
+@item
+The reloc index is turned into a pointer to a howto
+structure, in a back end specific way. For instance, the 386
+and 960 use the @code{r_type} to directly produce an index
+into a howto table vector; the 88k subtracts a number from the
+@code{r_type} field and creates an addend field.

+@section Hash Tables
+@cindex Hash tables
+BFD provides a simple set of hash table functions. Routines
+are provided to initialize a hash table, to free a hash table,
+to look up a string in a hash table and optionally create an
+entry for it, and to traverse a hash table. There is
+currently no routine to delete an string from a hash table.
+
+The basic hash table does not permit any data to be stored
+with a string. However, a hash table is designed to present a
+base class from which other types of hash tables may be
+derived. These derived types may store additional information
+with the string. Hash tables were implemented in this way,
+rather than simply providing a data pointer in a hash table
+entry, because they were designed for use by the linker back
+ends. The linker may create thousands of hash table entries,
+and the overhead of allocating private data and storing and
+following pointers becomes noticeable.
+
+The basic hash table code is in @code{hash.c}.

+@subsection Creating and freeing a hash table
+@findex bfd_hash_table_init
+@findex bfd_hash_table_init_n
+To create a hash table, create an instance of a @code{struct
+bfd_hash_table} (defined in @code{bfd.h}) and call
+@code{bfd_hash_table_init} (if you know approximately how many
+entries you will need, the function @code{bfd_hash_table_init_n},
+which takes a @var{size} argument, may be used).
+@code{bfd_hash_table_init} returns @code{FALSE} if some sort of
+error occurs.
+
+@findex bfd_hash_newfunc
+The function @code{bfd_hash_table_init} take as an argument a
+function to use to create new entries. For a basic hash
+table, use the function @code{bfd_hash_newfunc}. @xref{Deriving

+@findex bfd_hash_table_free
+Use @code{bfd_hash_table_free} to free up all the memory that has

+@node Looking Up or Entering a String, Traversing a Hash Table, Creating and Freeing a Hash Table, Hash Tables
+@subsection Looking up or entering a string
+@findex bfd_hash_lookup
+The function @code{bfd_hash_lookup} is used both to look up a
+string in the hash table and to create a new entry.
+
+If the @var{create} argument is @code{FALSE}, @code{bfd_hash_lookup}
+will look up a string. If the string is found, it will
+returns a pointer to a @code{struct bfd_hash_entry}. If the
+string is not found in the table @code{bfd_hash_lookup} will
+return @code{NULL}. You should not modify any of the fields in
+the returns @code{struct bfd_hash_entry}.
+
+If the @var{create} argument is @code{TRUE}, the string will be
+entered into the hash table if it is not already there.
+Either way a pointer to a @code{struct bfd_hash_entry} will be
+returned, either to the existing structure or to a newly
+created one. In this case, a @code{NULL} return means that an
+error occurred.
+
+If the @var{create} argument is @code{TRUE}, and a new entry is
+created, the @var{copy} argument is used to decide whether to
+copy the string onto the hash table objalloc or not. If
+@var{copy} is passed as @code{FALSE}, you must be careful not to
+deallocate or modify the string as long as the hash table
+exists.

+@node Traversing a Hash Table, Deriving a New Hash Table Type, Looking Up or Entering a String, Hash Tables
+@subsection Traversing a hash table
+@findex bfd_hash_traverse
+The function @code{bfd_hash_traverse} may be used to traverse a
+hash table, calling a function on each element. The traversal
+is done in a random order.
+
+@code{bfd_hash_traverse} takes as arguments a function and a
+generic @code{void *} pointer. The function is called with a
+hash table entry (a @code{struct bfd_hash_entry *}) and the
+generic pointer passed to @code{bfd_hash_traverse}. The function
+must return a @code{boolean} value, which indicates whether to
+continue traversing the hash table. If the function returns
+@code{FALSE}, @code{bfd_hash_traverse} will stop the traversal and
+return immediately.
+
+@node Deriving a New Hash Table Type, , Traversing a Hash Table, Hash Tables
+@subsection Deriving a new hash table type
+Many uses of hash tables want to store additional information
+which each entry in the hash table. Some also find it
+convenient to store additional information with the hash table
+itself. This may be done using a derived hash table.
+
+Since C is not an object oriented language, creating a derived
+hash table requires sticking together some boilerplate
+routines with a few differences specific to the type of hash
+table you want to create.
+
+An example of a derived hash table is the linker hash table.
+The structures for this are defined in @code{bfdlink.h}. The
+functions are in @code{linker.c}.
+
+You may also derive a hash table from an already derived hash
+table. For example, the a.out linker backend code uses a hash
+table derived from the linker hash table.
+

+* Write the Derived Creation Routine::
+* Write Other Derived Routines::
+@end menu
+
+@node Define the Derived Structures, Write the Derived Creation Routine, Deriving a New Hash Table Type, Deriving a New Hash Table Type
+@subsubsection Define the derived structures
+You must define a structure for an entry in the hash table,
+and a structure for the hash table itself.
+
+The first field in the structure for an entry in the hash
+table must be of the type used for an entry in the hash table
+you are deriving from. If you are deriving from a basic hash
+table this is @code{struct bfd_hash_entry}, which is defined in
+@code{bfd.h}. The first field in the structure for the hash
+table itself must be of the type of the hash table you are
+deriving from itself. If you are deriving from a basic hash
+table, this is @code{struct bfd_hash_table}.
+
+For example, the linker hash table defines @code{struct
+bfd_link_hash_entry} (in @code{bfdlink.h}). The first field,
+@code{root}, is of type @code{struct bfd_hash_entry}. Similarly,
+the first field in @code{struct bfd_link_hash_table}, @code{table},
+is of type @code{struct bfd_hash_table}.
+
+@node Write the Derived Creation Routine, Write Other Derived Routines, Define the Derived Structures, Deriving a New Hash Table Type
+@subsubsection Write the derived creation routine
+You must write a routine which will create and initialize an
+entry in the hash table. This routine is passed as the
+function argument to @code{bfd_hash_table_init}.
+
+In order to permit other hash tables to be derived from the
+hash table you are creating, this routine must be written in a
+standard way.
+
+The first argument to the creation routine is a pointer to a
+hash table entry. This may be @code{NULL}, in which case the
+routine should allocate the right amount of space. Otherwise
+the space has already been allocated by a hash table type
+derived from this one.
+
+After allocating space, the creation routine must call the
+creation routine of the hash table type it is derived from,
+passing in a pointer to the space it just allocated. This
+will initialize any fields used by the base hash table.
+
+Finally the creation routine must initialize any local fields
+for the new hash table type.
+
+Here is a boilerplate example of a creation routine.
+@var{function_name} is the name of the routine.
+@var{entry_type} is the type of an entry in the hash table you
+are creating. @var{base_newfunc} is the name of the creation
+routine of the hash table type your hash table is derived
+from.
+
+
+@example
+struct bfd_hash_entry *
+@var{function_name} (struct bfd_hash_entry *entry,
+ struct bfd_hash_table *table,
+ const char *string)
+@{
+ struct @var{entry_type} *ret = (@var{entry_type} *) entry;
+
+ /* Allocate the structure if it has not already been allocated by a
+ derived class. */
+ if (ret == NULL)
+ @{
+ ret = bfd_hash_allocate (table, sizeof (* ret));
+ if (ret == NULL)
+ return NULL;
+ @}
+
+ /* Call the allocation method of the base class. */
+ ret = ((@var{entry_type} *)
+ @var{base_newfunc} ((struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret, table, string));
+
+ /* Initialize the local fields here. */
+
+ return (struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret;
+@}
+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+The creation routine for the linker hash table, which is in
+@code{linker.c}, looks just like this example.
+@var{function_name} is @code{_bfd_link_hash_newfunc}.
+@var{entry_type} is @code{struct bfd_link_hash_entry}.
+@var{base_newfunc} is @code{bfd_hash_newfunc}, the creation
+routine for a basic hash table.
+
+@code{_bfd_link_hash_newfunc} also initializes the local fields
+in a linker hash table entry: @code{type}, @code{written} and
+@code{next}.
+
+@node Write Other Derived Routines, , Write the Derived Creation Routine, Deriving a New Hash Table Type
+@subsubsection Write other derived routines
+You will want to write other routines for your new hash table,
+as well.
+
+You will want an initialization routine which calls the
+initialization routine of the hash table you are deriving from
+and initializes any other local fields. For the linker hash
+table, this is @code{_bfd_link_hash_table_init} in @code{linker.c}.
+
+You will want a lookup routine which calls the lookup routine
+of the hash table you are deriving from and casts the result.
+The linker hash table uses @code{bfd_link_hash_lookup} in
+@code{linker.c} (this actually takes an additional argument which
+it uses to decide how to return the looked up value).
+
+You may want a traversal routine. This should just call the
+traversal routine of the hash table you are deriving from with
+appropriate casts. The linker hash table uses
+@code{bfd_link_hash_traverse} in @code{linker.c}.
+
+These routines may simply be defined as macros. For example,
+the a.out backend linker hash table, which is derived from the
+linker hash table, uses macros for the lookup and traversal
+routines. These are @code{aout_link_hash_lookup} and
+@code{aout_link_hash_traverse} in aoutx.h.

+
+In the put routines, @var{val} must be a @code{bfd_vma}. If we are on a

+@section Linker Functions
+@cindex Linker
+The linker uses three special entry points in the BFD target
+vector. It is not necessary to write special routines for
+these entry points when creating a new BFD back end, since
+generic versions are provided. However, writing them can
+speed up linking and make it use significantly less runtime
+memory.
+
+The first routine creates a hash table used by the other
+routines. The second routine adds the symbols from an object
+file to the hash table. The third routine takes all the
+object files and links them together to create the output
+file. These routines are designed so that the linker proper
+does not need to know anything about the symbols in the object
+files that it is linking. The linker merely arranges the
+sections as directed by the linker script and lets BFD handle
+the details of symbols and relocs.
+
+The second routine and third routines are passed a pointer to
+a @code{struct bfd_link_info} structure (defined in
+@code{bfdlink.h}) which holds information relevant to the link,
+including the linker hash table (which was created by the
+first routine) and a set of callback functions to the linker
+proper.
+
+The generic linker routines are in @code{linker.c}, and use the
+header file @code{genlink.h}. As of this writing, the only back
+ends which have implemented versions of these routines are
+a.out (in @code{aoutx.h}) and ECOFF (in @code{ecoff.c}). The a.out
+routines are used as examples throughout this section.

+@subsection Creating a linker hash table
+@cindex _bfd_link_hash_table_create in target vector
+@cindex target vector (_bfd_link_hash_table_create)
+The linker routines must create a hash table, which must be
+derived from @code{struct bfd_link_hash_table} described in
+@code{bfdlink.c}. @xref{Hash Tables}, for information on how to
+create a derived hash table. This entry point is called using
+the target vector of the linker output file.
+
+The @code{_bfd_link_hash_table_create} entry point must allocate
+and initialize an instance of the desired hash table. If the
+back end does not require any additional information to be
+stored with the entries in the hash table, the entry point may
+simply create a @code{struct bfd_link_hash_table}. Most likely,
+however, some additional information will be needed.
+
+For example, with each entry in the hash table the a.out
+linker keeps the index the symbol has in the final output file
+(this index number is used so that when doing a relocatable
+link the symbol index used in the output file can be quickly
+filled in when copying over a reloc). The a.out linker code
+defines the required structures and functions for a hash table
+derived from @code{struct bfd_link_hash_table}. The a.out linker
+hash table is created by the function
+@code{NAME(aout,link_hash_table_create)}; it simply allocates
+space for the hash table, initializes it, and returns a
+pointer to it.
+
+When writing the linker routines for a new back end, you will
+generally not know exactly which fields will be required until
+you have finished. You should simply create a new hash table
+which defines no additional fields, and then simply add fields
+as they become necessary.

+@cindex target vector (_bfd_link_add_symbols)
+The linker proper will call the @code{_bfd_link_add_symbols}
+entry point for each object file or archive which is to be
+linked (typically these are the files named on the command
+line, but some may also come from the linker script). The
+entry point is responsible for examining the file. For an
+object file, BFD must add any relevant symbol information to
+the hash table. For an archive, BFD must determine which
+elements of the archive should be used and adding them to the
+link.
+
+The a.out version of this entry point is
+@code{NAME(aout,link_add_symbols)}.

+
+@node Differing file formats, Adding symbols from an object file, Adding Symbols to the Hash Table, Adding Symbols to the Hash Table
+@subsubsection Differing file formats
+Normally all the files involved in a link will be of the same
+format, but it is also possible to link together different
+format object files, and the back end must support that. The
+@code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} entry point is called via the target
+vector of the file to be added. This has an important
+consequence: the function may not assume that the hash table
+is the type created by the corresponding
+@code{_bfd_link_hash_table_create} vector. All the
+@code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} function can assume about the hash
+table is that it is derived from @code{struct
+bfd_link_hash_table}.
+
+Sometimes the @code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} function must store
+some information in the hash table entry to be used by the
+@code{_bfd_final_link} function. In such a case the output bfd
+xvec must be checked to make sure that the hash table was
+created by an object file of the same format.
+
+The @code{_bfd_final_link} routine must be prepared to handle a
+hash entry without any extra information added by the
+@code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} function. A hash entry without
+extra information will also occur when the linker script
+directs the linker to create a symbol. Note that, regardless
+of how a hash table entry is added, all the fields will be
+initialized to some sort of null value by the hash table entry
+initialization function.
+
+See @code{ecoff_link_add_externals} for an example of how to
+check the output bfd before saving information (in this
+case, the ECOFF external symbol debugging information) in a
+hash table entry.
+
+@node Adding symbols from an object file, Adding symbols from an archive, Differing file formats, Adding Symbols to the Hash Table
+@subsubsection Adding symbols from an object file
+When the @code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} routine is passed an object
+file, it must add all externally visible symbols in that
+object file to the hash table. The actual work of adding the
+symbol to the hash table is normally handled by the function
+@code{_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol}. The
+@code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} routine is responsible for reading
+all the symbols from the object file and passing the correct
+information to @code{_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol}.
+
+The @code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} routine should not use
+@code{bfd_canonicalize_symtab} to read the symbols. The point of
+providing this routine is to avoid the overhead of converting
+the symbols into generic @code{asymbol} structures.
+
+@findex _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol
+@code{_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol} handles the details of
+combining common symbols, warning about multiple definitions,
+and so forth. It takes arguments which describe the symbol to
+add, notably symbol flags, a section, and an offset. The
+symbol flags include such things as @code{BSF_WEAK} or
+@code{BSF_INDIRECT}. The section is a section in the object
+file, or something like @code{bfd_und_section_ptr} for an undefined
+symbol or @code{bfd_com_section_ptr} for a common symbol.
+
+If the @code{_bfd_final_link} routine is also going to need to
+read the symbol information, the @code{_bfd_link_add_symbols}
+routine should save it somewhere attached to the object file
+BFD. However, the information should only be saved if the
+@code{keep_memory} field of the @code{info} argument is TRUE, so
+that the @code{-no-keep-memory} linker switch is effective.
+
+The a.out function which adds symbols from an object file is
+@code{aout_link_add_object_symbols}, and most of the interesting
+work is in @code{aout_link_add_symbols}. The latter saves
+pointers to the hash tables entries created by
+@code{_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol} indexed by symbol number,
+so that the @code{_bfd_final_link} routine does not have to call
+the hash table lookup routine to locate the entry.
+
+@node Adding symbols from an archive, , Adding symbols from an object file, Adding Symbols to the Hash Table
+@subsubsection Adding symbols from an archive
+When the @code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} routine is passed an
+archive, it must look through the symbols defined by the
+archive and decide which elements of the archive should be
+included in the link. For each such element it must call the
+@code{add_archive_element} linker callback, and it must add the
+symbols from the object file to the linker hash table.
+
+@findex _bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols
+In most cases the work of looking through the symbols in the
+archive should be done by the
+@code{_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols} function. This
+function builds a hash table from the archive symbol table and
+looks through the list of undefined symbols to see which
+elements should be included.
+@code{_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols} is passed a function
+to call to make the final decision about adding an archive
+element to the link and to do the actual work of adding the
+symbols to the linker hash table.
+
+The function passed to
+@code{_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols} must read the
+symbols of the archive element and decide whether the archive
+element should be included in the link. If the element is to
+be included, the @code{add_archive_element} linker callback
+routine must be called with the element as an argument, and
+the elements symbols must be added to the linker hash table
+just as though the element had itself been passed to the
+@code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} function.
+
+When the a.out @code{_bfd_link_add_symbols} function receives an
+archive, it calls @code{_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols}
+passing @code{aout_link_check_archive_element} as the function
+argument. @code{aout_link_check_archive_element} calls
+@code{aout_link_check_ar_symbols}. If the latter decides to add
+the element (an element is only added if it provides a real,
+non-common, definition for a previously undefined or common
+symbol) it calls the @code{add_archive_element} callback and then
+@code{aout_link_check_archive_element} calls
+@code{aout_link_add_symbols} to actually add the symbols to the
+linker hash table.
+
+The ECOFF back end is unusual in that it does not normally
+call @code{_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols}, because ECOFF
+archives already contain a hash table of symbols. The ECOFF
+back end searches the archive itself to avoid the overhead of
+creating a new hash table.
+
+@node Performing the Final Link, , Adding Symbols to the Hash Table, Linker Functions
+@subsection Performing the final link
+@cindex _bfd_link_final_link in target vector
+@cindex target vector (_bfd_final_link)
+When all the input files have been processed, the linker calls
+the @code{_bfd_final_link} entry point of the output BFD. This
+routine is responsible for producing the final output file,
+which has several aspects. It must relocate the contents of
+the input sections and copy the data into the output sections.
+It must build an output symbol table including any local
+symbols from the input files and the global symbols from the
+hash table. When producing relocatable output, it must
+modify the input relocs and write them into the output file.
+There may also be object format dependent work to be done.
+
+The linker will also call the @code{write_object_contents} entry
+point when the BFD is closed. The two entry points must work
+together in order to produce the correct output file.
+
+The details of how this works are inevitably dependent upon
+the specific object file format. The a.out
+@code{_bfd_final_link} routine is @code{NAME(aout,final_link)}.

+@node Information provided by the linker, Relocating the section contents, Performing the Final Link, Performing the Final Link
+@subsubsection Information provided by the linker
+Before the linker calls the @code{_bfd_final_link} entry point,
+it sets up some data structures for the function to use.
+
+The @code{input_bfds} field of the @code{bfd_link_info} structure
+will point to a list of all the input files included in the
+link. These files are linked through the @code{link_next} field
+of the @code{bfd} structure.
+
+Each section in the output file will have a list of
+@code{link_order} structures attached to the @code{map_head.link_order}
+field (the @code{link_order} structure is defined in
+@code{bfdlink.h}). These structures describe how to create the
+contents of the output section in terms of the contents of
+various input sections, fill constants, and, eventually, other
+types of information. They also describe relocs that must be
+created by the BFD backend, but do not correspond to any input
+file; this is used to support -Ur, which builds constructors
+while generating a relocatable object file.
+
+@node Relocating the section contents, Writing the symbol table, Information provided by the linker, Performing the Final Link
+@subsubsection Relocating the section contents
+The @code{_bfd_final_link} function should look through the
+@code{link_order} structures attached to each section of the
+output file. Each @code{link_order} structure should either be
+handled specially, or it should be passed to the function
+@code{_bfd_default_link_order} which will do the right thing
+(@code{_bfd_default_link_order} is defined in @code{linker.c}).
+
+For efficiency, a @code{link_order} of type
+@code{bfd_indirect_link_order} whose associated section belongs
+to a BFD of the same format as the output BFD must be handled
+specially. This type of @code{link_order} describes part of an
+output section in terms of a section belonging to one of the
+input files. The @code{_bfd_final_link} function should read the
+contents of the section and any associated relocs, apply the
+relocs to the section contents, and write out the modified
+section contents. If performing a relocatable link, the
+relocs themselves must also be modified and written out.
+
+@findex _bfd_relocate_contents
+@findex _bfd_final_link_relocate
+The functions @code{_bfd_relocate_contents} and
+@code{_bfd_final_link_relocate} provide some general support for
+performing the actual relocations, notably overflow checking.
+Their arguments include information about the symbol the
+relocation is against and a @code{reloc_howto_type} argument
+which describes the relocation to perform. These functions
+are defined in @code{reloc.c}.
+
+The a.out function which handles reading, relocating, and
+writing section contents is @code{aout_link_input_section}. The
+actual relocation is done in @code{aout_link_input_section_std}
+and @code{aout_link_input_section_ext}.
+
+@node Writing the symbol table, , Relocating the section contents, Performing the Final Link
+@subsubsection Writing the symbol table
+The @code{_bfd_final_link} function must gather all the symbols
+in the input files and write them out. It must also write out
+all the symbols in the global hash table. This must be
+controlled by the @code{strip} and @code{discard} fields of the
+@code{bfd_link_info} structure.
+
+The local symbols of the input files will not have been
+entered into the linker hash table. The @code{_bfd_final_link}
+routine must consider each input file and include the symbols
+in the output file. It may be convenient to do this when
+looking through the @code{link_order} structures, or it may be
+done by stepping through the @code{input_bfds} list.
+
+The @code{_bfd_final_link} routine must also traverse the global
+hash table to gather all the externally visible symbols. It
+is possible that most of the externally visible symbols may be
+written out when considering the symbols of each input file,
+but it is still necessary to traverse the hash table since the
+linker script may have defined some symbols that are not in
+any of the input files.
+
+The @code{strip} field of the @code{bfd_link_info} structure
+controls which symbols are written out. The possible values
+are listed in @code{bfdlink.h}. If the value is @code{strip_some},
+then the @code{keep_hash} field of the @code{bfd_link_info}
+structure is a hash table of symbols to keep; each symbol
+should be looked up in this hash table, and only symbols which
+are present should be included in the output file.
+
+If the @code{strip} field of the @code{bfd_link_info} structure
+permits local symbols to be written out, the @code{discard} field
+is used to further controls which local symbols are included
+in the output file. If the value is @code{discard_l}, then all
+local symbols which begin with a certain prefix are discarded;
+this is controlled by the @code{bfd_is_local_label_name} entry point.
+
+The a.out backend handles symbols by calling
+@code{aout_link_write_symbols} on each input BFD and then
+traversing the global hash table with the function
+@code{aout_link_write_other_symbol}. It builds a string table
+while writing out the symbols, which is written to the output
+file at the end of @code{NAME(aout,final_link)}.

+@command{mmix} which is available at
+@url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz}
+understands this format. That package also includes a combined
+assembler and linker called @command{mmixal}. The mmo format has
+no advantages feature-wise compared to e.g. ELF. It is a simple
+non-relocatable object format with no support for archives or
+debugging information, except for symbol value information and
+line numbers (which is not yet implemented in BFD). See
+@url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html} for more
+information about MMIX. The ELF format is used for intermediate
+object files in the BFD implementation.

+@subsection File layout
+The mmo file contents is not partitioned into named sections as
+with e.g.@: ELF. Memory areas is formed by specifying the
+location of the data that follows. Only the memory area
+@samp{0x0000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x01ff@dots{}ff} is executable, so
+it is used for code (and constants) and the area
+@samp{0x2000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x20ff@dots{}ff} is used for
+writable data. @xref{mmo section mapping}.
+
+There is provision for specifying ``special data'' of 65536
+different types. We use type 80 (decimal), arbitrarily chosen the
+same as the ELF @code{e_machine} number for MMIX, filling it with
+section information normally found in ELF objects. @xref{mmo
+section mapping}.
+
+Contents is entered as 32-bit words, xor:ed over previous
+contents, always zero-initialized. A word that starts with the
+byte @samp{0x98} forms a command called a @samp{lopcode}, where
+the next byte distinguished between the thirteen lopcodes. The
+two remaining bytes, called the @samp{Y} and @samp{Z} fields, or
+the @samp{YZ} field (a 16-bit big-endian number), are used for
+various purposes different for each lopcode. As documented in
+@url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmixal-intro.ps.gz},
+the lopcodes are:
+
+@table @code
+@item lop_quote
+0x98000001. The next word is contents, regardless of whether it
+starts with 0x98 or not.
+
+@item lop_loc
+0x9801YYZZ, where @samp{Z} is 1 or 2. This is a location
+directive, setting the location for the next data to the next
+32-bit word (for @math{Z = 1}) or 64-bit word (for @math{Z = 2}),
+plus @math{Y * 2^56}. Normally @samp{Y} is 0 for the text segment
+and 2 for the data segment.
+
+@item lop_skip
+0x9802YYZZ. Increase the current location by @samp{YZ} bytes.
+
+@item lop_fixo
+0x9803YYZZ, where @samp{Z} is 1 or 2. Store the current location
+as 64 bits into the location pointed to by the next 32-bit
+(@math{Z = 1}) or 64-bit (@math{Z = 2}) word, plus @math{Y *
+2^56}.
+
+@item lop_fixr
+0x9804YYZZ. @samp{YZ} is stored into the current location plus
+@math{2 - 4 * YZ}.
+
+@item lop_fixrx
+0x980500ZZ. @samp{Z} is 16 or 24. A value @samp{L} derived from
+the following 32-bit word are used in a manner similar to
+@samp{YZ} in lop_fixr: it is xor:ed into the current location
+minus @math{4 * L}. The first byte of the word is 0 or 1. If it
+is 1, then @math{L = (@var{lowest 24 bits of word}) - 2^Z}, if 0,
+then @math{L = (@var{lowest 24 bits of word})}.
+
+@item lop_file
+0x9806YYZZ. @samp{Y} is the file number, @samp{Z} is count of
+32-bit words. Set the file number to @samp{Y} and the line
+counter to 0. The next @math{Z * 4} bytes contain the file name,
+padded with zeros if the count is not a multiple of four. The
+same @samp{Y} may occur multiple times, but @samp{Z} must be 0 for
+all but the first occurrence.
+
+@item lop_line
+0x9807YYZZ. @samp{YZ} is the line number. Together with
+lop_file, it forms the source location for the next 32-bit word.
+Note that for each non-lopcode 32-bit word, line numbers are
+assumed incremented by one.
+
+@item lop_spec
+0x9808YYZZ. @samp{YZ} is the type number. Data until the next
+lopcode other than lop_quote forms special data of type @samp{YZ}.
+@xref{mmo section mapping}.
+
+Other types than 80, (or type 80 with a content that does not
+parse) is stored in sections named @code{.MMIX.spec_data.@var{n}}
+where @var{n} is the @samp{YZ}-type. The flags for such a
+sections say not to allocate or load the data. The vma is 0.
+Contents of multiple occurrences of special data @var{n} is
+concatenated to the data of the previous lop_spec @var{n}s. The
+location in data or code at which the lop_spec occurred is lost.
+
+@item lop_pre
+0x980901ZZ. The first lopcode in a file. The @samp{Z} field forms the
+length of header information in 32-bit words, where the first word
+tells the time in seconds since @samp{00:00:00 GMT Jan 1 1970}.
+
+@item lop_post
+0x980a00ZZ. @math{Z > 32}. This lopcode follows after all

+
+@item lop_end
+0x980cYYZZ. The last lopcode in a program. It must follow the

+@end example
+@node Symbol-table, mmo section mapping, File layout, mmo
+@subsection Symbol table format
+From mmixal.w (or really, the generated mmixal.tex) in
+@url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz}):
+``Symbols are stored and retrieved by means of a @samp{ternary
+search trie}, following ideas of Bentley and Sedgewick. (See
+ACM--SIAM Symp.@: on Discrete Algorithms @samp{8} (1997), 360--369;
+R.@:Sedgewick, @samp{Algorithms in C} (Reading, Mass.@:
+Addison--Wesley, 1998), @samp{15.4}.) Each trie node stores a
+character, and there are branches to subtries for the cases where
+a given character is less than, equal to, or greater than the
+character in the trie. There also is a pointer to a symbol table
+entry if a symbol ends at the current node.''
+
+So it's a tree encoded as a stream of bytes. The stream of bytes
+acts on a single virtual global symbol, adding and removing
+characters and signalling complete symbol points. Here, we read
+the stream and create symbols at the completion points.
+
+First, there's a control byte @code{m}. If any of the listed bits
+in @code{m} is nonzero, we execute what stands at the right, in
+the listed order:
+
+@example
+ (MMO3_LEFT)
+ 0x40 - Traverse left trie.
+ (Read a new command byte and recurse.)
+
+ (MMO3_SYMBITS)
+ 0x2f - Read the next byte as a character and store it in the
+ current character position; increment character position.
+ Test the bits of @code{m}:
+
+ (MMO3_WCHAR)
+ 0x80 - The character is 16-bit (so read another byte,
+ merge into current character.
+
+ (MMO3_TYPEBITS)
+ 0xf - We have a complete symbol; parse the type, value
+ and serial number and do what should be done
+ with a symbol. The type and length information
+ is in j = (m & 0xf).
+
+ (MMO3_REGQUAL_BITS)
+ j == 0xf: A register variable. The following
+ byte tells which register.
+ j <= 8: An absolute symbol. Read j bytes as the
+ big-endian number the symbol equals.
+ A j = 2 with two zero bytes denotes an
+ unknown symbol.
+ j > 8: As with j <= 8, but add (0x20 << 56)
+ to the value in the following j - 8
+ bytes.
+
+ Then comes the serial number, as a variant of
+ uleb128, but better named ubeb128:
+ Read bytes and shift the previous value left 7
+ (multiply by 128). Add in the new byte, repeat
+ until a byte has bit 7 set. The serial number
+ is the computed value minus 128.
+
+ (MMO3_MIDDLE)
+ 0x20 - Traverse middle trie. (Read a new command byte
+ and recurse.) Decrement character position.
+
+ (MMO3_RIGHT)
+ 0x10 - Traverse right trie. (Read a new command byte and
+ recurse.)
+@end example
+
+Let's look again at the @code{lop_stab} for the trivial file
+(@pxref{File layout}).
+
+@example
+ 0x980b0000 - lop_stab for ":Main" = 0, serial 1.
+ 0x203a4040
+ 0x10404020
+ 0x4d206120
+ 0x69016e00
+ 0x81000000
+@end example
+
+This forms the trivial trie (note that the path between ``:'' and
+``M'' is redundant):
+
+@example
+ 203a ":"
+ 40 /
+ 40 /
+ 10 \
+ 40 /
+ 40 /
+ 204d "M"
+ 2061 "a"
+ 2069 "i"
+ 016e "n" is the last character in a full symbol, and
+ with a value represented in one byte.
+ 00 The value is 0.
+ 81 The serial number is 1.
+@end example
+
+@node mmo section mapping, , Symbol-table, mmo
+@subsection mmo section mapping
+The implementation in BFD uses special data type 80 (decimal) to
+encapsulate and describe named sections, containing e.g.@: debug
+information. If needed, any datum in the encapsulation will be
+quoted using lop_quote. First comes a 32-bit word holding the
+number of 32-bit words containing the zero-terminated zero-padded
+segment name. After the name there's a 32-bit word holding flags
+describing the section type. Then comes a 64-bit big-endian word
+with the section length (in bytes), then another with the section
+start address. Depending on the type of section, the contents
+might follow, zero-padded to 32-bit boundary. For a loadable
+section (such as data or code), the contents might follow at some
+later point, not necessarily immediately, as a lop_loc with the
+same start address as in the section description, followed by the
+contents. This in effect forms a descriptor that must be emitted
+before the actual contents. Sections described this way must not
+overlap.
+
+For areas that don't have such descriptors, synthetic sections are
+formed by BFD. Consecutive contents in the two memory areas
+@samp{0x0000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x01ff@dots{}ff} and
+@samp{0x2000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x20ff@dots{}ff} are entered in
+sections named @code{.text} and @code{.data} respectively. If an area
+is not otherwise described, but would together with a neighboring
+lower area be less than @samp{0x40000000} bytes long, it is joined
+with the lower area and the gap is zero-filled. For other cases,
+a new section is formed, named @code{.MMIX.sec.@var{n}}. Here,
+@var{n} is a number, a running count through the mmo file,
+starting at 0.
+
+A loadable section specified as:
+
+@example
+ .section secname,"ax"
+ TETRA 1,2,3,4,-1,-2009
+ BYTE 80
+@end example
+
+and linked to address @samp{0x4}, is represented by the sequence:
+
+@example
+ 0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
+ 0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
+ 0x7365636e - "secn"
+ 0x616d6500 - "ame\0"
+ 0x00000033 - flags CODE, READONLY, LOAD, ALLOC
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
+ 0x0000001c - section length is 28 bytes; 6 * 4 + 1 + alignment to 32 bits
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section address
+ 0x00000004 - section address is 4
+ 0x98010002 - 64 bits with address of following data
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of address
+ 0x00000004 - low 32 bits: data starts at address 4
+ 0x00000001 - 1
+ 0x00000002 - 2
+ 0x00000003 - 3
+ 0x00000004 - 4
+ 0xffffffff - -1
+ 0xfffff827 - -2009
+ 0x50000000 - 80 as a byte, padded with zeros.
+@end example
+
+Note that the lop_spec wrapping does not include the section
+contents. Compare this to a non-loaded section specified as:
+
+@example
+ .section thirdsec
+ TETRA 200001,100002
+ BYTE 38,40
+@end example
+
+This, when linked to address @samp{0x200000000000001c}, is
+represented by:
+
+@example
+ 0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
+ 0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
+ 0x7365636e - "thir"
+ 0x616d6500 - "dsec"
+ 0x00000010 - flag READONLY
+ 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
+ 0x0000000c - section length is 12 bytes; 2 * 4 + 2 + alignment to 32 bits
+ 0x20000000 - high 32 bits of address
+ 0x0000001c - low 32 bits of address 0x200000000000001c
+ 0x00030d41 - 200001
+ 0x000186a2 - 100002
+ 0x26280000 - 38, 40 as bytes, padded with zeros
+@end example
+
+For the latter example, the section contents must not be
+loaded in memory, and is therefore specified as part of the
+special data. The address is usually unimportant but might
+provide information for e.g.@: the DWARF 2 debugging format.

+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example
+bfd *bfd_fopen (const char *filename, const char *target,
+ const char *mode, int fd);
+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+Open the file @var{filename} with the target @var{target}.
+Return a pointer to the created BFD. If @var{fd} is not -1,
+then @code{fdopen} is used to open the file; otherwise, @code{fopen}
+is used. @var{mode} is passed directly to @code{fopen} or

+
+Calls @code{bfd_find_target}, so @var{target} is interpreted as by
+that function.
+
+The new BFD is marked as cacheable iff @var{fd} is -1.
+
+If @code{NULL} is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors

+@subsubsection @code{bfd_openr}
+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example

+@strong{Description}@*
+Open the file @var{filename} (using @code{fopen}) with the target
+@var{target}. Return a pointer to the created BFD.
+
+Calls @code{bfd_find_target}, so @var{target} is interpreted as by

+
+If @code{NULL} is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors

+@strong{Synopsis}
+@example
+bfd *bfd_fdopenr (const char *filename, const char *target, int fd);
+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+@code{bfd_fdopenr} is to @code{bfd_fopenr} much like @code{fdopen} is to
+@code{fopen}. It opens a BFD on a file already described by the
+@var{fd} supplied.
+
+When the file is later @code{bfd_close}d, the file descriptor will
+be closed. If the caller desires that this file descriptor be
+cached by BFD (opened as needed, closed as needed to free
+descriptors for other opens), with the supplied @var{fd} used as
+an initial file descriptor (but subject to closure at any time),
+call bfd_set_cacheable(bfd, 1) on the returned BFD. The default
+is to assume no caching; the file descriptor will remain open
+until @code{bfd_close}, and will not be affected by BFD operations
+on other files.
+
+Possible errors are @code{bfd_error_no_memory},
+@code{bfd_error_invalid_target} and @code{bfd_error_system_call}.

+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+Create and return a BFD backed by a read-only @var{stream}.
+The @var{stream} is created using @var{open}, accessed using
+@var{pread} and destroyed using @var{close}.
+
+Calls @code{bfd_find_target}, so @var{target} is interpreted as by
+that function.
+
+Calls @var{open} (which can call @code{bfd_zalloc} and
+@code{bfd_get_filename}) to obtain the read-only stream backing
+the BFD. @var{open} either succeeds returning the
+non-@code{NULL} @var{stream}, or fails returning @code{NULL}
+(setting @code{bfd_error}).
+
+Calls @var{pread} to request @var{nbytes} of data from
+@var{stream} starting at @var{offset} (e.g., via a call to
+@code{bfd_read}). @var{pread} either succeeds returning the
+number of bytes read (which can be less than @var{nbytes} when
+end-of-file), or fails returning -1 (setting @code{bfd_error}).
+
+Calls @var{close} when the BFD is later closed using
+@code{bfd_close}. @var{close} either succeeds returning 0, or
+fails returning -1 (setting @code{bfd_error}).
+
+Calls @var{stat} to fill in a stat structure for bfd_stat,
+bfd_get_size, and bfd_get_mtime calls. @var{stat} returns 0
+on success, or returns -1 on failure (setting @code{bfd_error}).
+
+If @code{bfd_openr_iovec} returns @code{NULL} then an error has
+occurred. Possible errors are @code{bfd_error_no_memory},
+@code{bfd_error_invalid_target} and @code{bfd_error_system_call}.

+@section Relocations
+BFD maintains relocations in much the same way it maintains
+symbols: they are left alone until required, then read in
+en-masse and translated into an internal form. A common
+routine @code{bfd_perform_relocation} acts upon the
+canonical form to do the fixup.
+
+Relocations are maintained on a per section basis,
+while symbols are maintained on a per BFD basis.
+
+All that a back end has to do to fit the BFD interface is to create
+a @code{struct reloc_cache_entry} for each relocation
+in a particular section, and fill in the right bits of the structures.

+arelent;
+
+@end example
+@strong{Description}@*
+Here is a description of each of the fields within an @code{arelent}:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+@code{sym_ptr_ptr}
+@end itemize
+The symbol table pointer points to a pointer to the symbol
+associated with the relocation request. It is the pointer
+into the table returned by the back end's
+@code{canonicalize_symtab} action. @xref{Symbols}. The symbol is
+referenced through a pointer to a pointer so that tools like
+the linker can fix up all the symbols of the same name by
+modifying only one pointer. The relocation routine looks in
+the symbol and uses the base of the section the symbol is
+attached to and the value of the symbol as the initial
+relocation offset. If the symbol pointer is zero, then the
+section provided is looked up.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+@code{address}
+@end itemize
+The @code{address} field gives the offset in bytes from the base of
+the section data which owns the relocation record to the first
+byte of relocatable information. The actual data relocated
+will be relative to this point; for example, a relocation
+type which modifies the bottom two bytes of a four byte word
+would not touch the first byte pointed to in a big endian
+world.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+@code{addend}
+@end itemize
+The @code{addend} is a value provided by the back end to be added (!)
+to the relocation offset. Its interpretation is dependent upon
+the howto. For example, on the 68k the code:
+
+@example
+ char foo[];
+ main()
+ @{
+ return foo[0x12345678];
+ @}
+@end example
+
+Could be compiled into:
+
+@example
+ linkw fp,#-4
+ moveb @@#12345678,d0
+ extbl d0
+ unlk fp
+ rts
+@end example
+
+This could create a reloc pointing to @code{foo}, but leave the
+offset in the data, something like:
+
+@example
+RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
+offset type value
+00000006 32 _foo
+
+00000000 4e56 fffc ; linkw fp,#-4
+00000004 1039 1234 5678 ; moveb @@#12345678,d0
+0000000a 49c0 ; extbl d0
+0000000c 4e5e ; unlk fp
+0000000e 4e75 ; rts
+@end example
+
+Using coff and an 88k, some instructions don't have enough
+space in them to represent the full address range, and
+pointers have to be loaded in two parts. So you'd get something like:
+
+@example
+ or.u r13,r0,hi16(_foo+0x12345678)
+ ld.b r2,r13,lo16(_foo+0x12345678)
+ jmp r1
+@end example
+
+This should create two relocs, both pointing to @code{_foo}, and with
+0x12340000 in their addend field. The data would consist of:
+
+@example
+RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
+offset type value
+00000002 HVRT16 _foo+0x12340000
+00000006 LVRT16 _foo+0x12340000
+
+00000000 5da05678 ; or.u r13,r0,0x5678
+00000004 1c4d5678 ; ld.b r2,r13,0x5678
+00000008 f400c001 ; jmp r1
+@end example
+
+The relocation routine digs out the value from the data, adds
+it to the addend to get the original offset, and then adds the
+value of @code{_foo}. Note that all 32 bits have to be kept around
+somewhere, to cope with carry from bit 15 to bit 16.
+
+One further example is the sparc and the a.out format. The
+sparc has a similar problem to the 88k, in that some
+instructions don't have room for an entire offset, but on the
+sparc the parts are created in odd sized lumps. The designers of
+the a.out format chose to not use the data within the section
+for storing part of the offset; all the offset is kept within
+the reloc. Anything in the data should be ignored.
+
+@example
+ save %sp,-112,%sp
+ sethi %hi(_foo+0x12345678),%g2
+ ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0x12345678)],%i0
+ ret
+ restore
+@end example
+
+Both relocs contain a pointer to @code{foo}, and the offsets
+contain junk.
+
+@example
+RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
+offset type value
+00000004 HI22 _foo+0x12345678
+00000008 LO10 _foo+0x12345678
+
+00000000 9de3bf90 ; save %sp,-112,%sp
+00000004 05000000 ; sethi %hi(_foo+0),%g2
+00000008 f048a000 ; ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0)],%i0
+0000000c 81c7e008 ; ret
+00000010 81e80000 ; restore
+@end example
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+@code{howto}
+@end itemize
+The @code{howto} field can be imagined as a
+relocation instruction. It is a pointer to a structure which
+contains information on what to do with all of the other
+information in the reloc record and data section. A back end
+would normally have a relocation instruction set and turn
+relocations into pointers to the correct structure on input -
+but it would be possible to create each howto field on demand.
+
+@subsubsection @code{enum complain_overflow}
+Indicates what sort of overflow checking should be done when
+performing a relocation.
+
+
+@example
+
+enum complain_overflow
+@{
+ /* Do not complain on overflow. */
+ complain_overflow_dont,
+
+ /* Complain if the value overflows when considered as a signed
+ number one bit larger than the field. ie. A bitfield of N bits

+The Alpha LITERAL/LITUSE relocs are produced by a symbol reference;
+the assembler turns it into a LDQ instruction to load the address of
+the symbol, and then fills in a register in the real instruction.
+
+The LITERAL reloc, at the LDQ instruction, refers to the .lita
+section symbol. The addend is ignored when writing, but is filled
+in with the file's GP value on reading, for convenience, as with the
+GPDISP_LO16 reloc.
+
+The ELF_LITERAL reloc is somewhere between 16_GOTOFF and GPDISP_LO16.
+It should refer to the symbol to be referenced, as with 16_GOTOFF,
+but it generates output not based on the position within the .got
+section, but relative to the GP value chosen for the file during the
+final link stage.
+
+The LITUSE reloc, on the instruction using the loaded address, gives
+information to the linker that it might be able to use to optimize
+away some literal section references. The symbol is ignored (read
+as the absolute section symbol), and the "addend" indicates the type
+of instruction using the register:

+These two relocations are used by the linker to determine which of

+the --gc-sections option is given, the linker will zero out the entries
+that are not used, so that the code for those functions need not be
+included in the output.
+
+VTABLE_INHERIT is a zero-space relocation used to describe to the
+linker the inheritance tree of a C++ virtual function table. The
+relocation's symbol should be the parent class' vtable, and the
+relocation should be located at the child vtable.
+
+VTABLE_ENTRY is a zero-space relocation that describes the use of a
+virtual function table entry. The reloc's symbol should refer to the
+table of the class mentioned in the code. Off of that base, an offset
+describes the entry that is being used. For Rela hosts, this offset
+is stored in the reloc's addend. For Rel hosts, we are forced to put
+this offset in the reloc's section offset.

+@section Sections
+The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
+section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of
+sections. It keeps hold of them by pointing to the first;
+each one points to the next in the list.
+
+Sections are supported in BFD in @code{section.c}.
+
+@menu
+* Section Input::
+* Section Output::
+* typedef asection::
+* section prototypes::
+@end menu
+
+@node Section Input, Section Output, Sections, Sections
+@subsection Section input
+When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are
+created and attached to the BFD.
+
+Each section has a name which describes the section in the
+outside world---for example, @code{a.out} would contain at least
+three sections, called @code{.text}, @code{.data} and @code{.bss}.
+
+Names need not be unique; for example a COFF file may have several
+sections named @code{.data}.
+
+Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the ``natural'' number of
+sections. A back end may attach other sections containing
+constructor data, or an application may add a section (using
+@code{bfd_make_section}) to the sections attached to an already open
+BFD. For example, the linker creates an extra section
+@code{COMMON} for each input file's BFD to hold information about
+common storage.
+
+The raw data is not necessarily read in when
+the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the
+data in place until a @code{bfd_get_section_contents} call is
+made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once. For
+example, an S-record file has to be read once to determine the
+size of the data. An IEEE-695 file doesn't contain raw data in
+sections, but data and relocation expressions intermixed, so
+the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and
+relocations.
+
+@node Section Output, typedef asection, Section Input, Sections
+@subsection Section output
+To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be
+written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in
+the same way as input sections; data is written to the
+sections using @code{bfd_set_section_contents}.
+
+Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler
+and linker) must use the @code{asection} fields @code{output_section} and
+@code{output_offset} to indicate the file sections to which each
+section must be written. (If the section is being created from
+scratch, @code{output_section} should probably point to the section
+itself and @code{output_offset} should probably be zero.)
+
+The data to be written comes from input sections attached
+(via @code{output_section} pointers) to
+the output sections. The output section structure can be
+considered a filter for the input section: the output section
+determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
+input section determines the offset into the output section of
+the data to be written.
+
+E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
+containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (i.e., at vma
+0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (i.e., at vma 0x120) the @code{asection}
+structures would look like:
+
+@example
+ section name "A"
+ output_offset 0x00
+ size 0x20
+ output_section -----------> section name "O"
+ | vma 0x100
+ section name "B" | size 0x123
+ output_offset 0x20 |
+ size 0x103 |
+ output_section --------|
+@end example
+
+@subsection Link orders
+The data within a section is stored in a @dfn{link_order}.
+These are much like the fixups in @code{gas}. The link_order
+abstraction allows a section to grow and shrink within itself.
+
+A link_order knows how big it is, and which is the next
+link_order and where the raw data for it is; it also points to
+a list of relocations which apply to it.
+
+The link_order is used by the linker to perform relaxing on
+final code. The compiler creates code which is as big as
+necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can
+select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of
+time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any
+are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
+a link_order by link_order basis.

+@section Symbols
+BFD tries to maintain as much symbol information as it can when
+it moves information from file to file. BFD passes information
+to applications though the @code{asymbol} structure. When the
+application requests the symbol table, BFD reads the table in
+the native form and translates parts of it into the internal
+format. To maintain more than the information passed to
+applications, some targets keep some information ``behind the
+scenes'' in a structure only the particular back end knows
+about. For example, the coff back end keeps the original
+symbol table structure as well as the canonical structure when
+a BFD is read in. On output, the coff back end can reconstruct
+the output symbol table so that no information is lost, even
+information unique to coff which BFD doesn't know or
+understand. If a coff symbol table were read, but were written
+through an a.out back end, all the coff specific information
+would be lost. The symbol table of a BFD
+is not necessarily read in until a canonicalize request is
+made. Then the BFD back end fills in a table provided by the
+application with pointers to the canonical information. To
+output symbols, the application provides BFD with a table of
+pointers to pointers to @code{asymbol}s. This allows applications
+like the linker to output a symbol as it was read, since the ``behind
+the scenes'' information will be still available.

+* Writing Symbols::

+@end menu
+
+@node Reading Symbols, Writing Symbols, Symbols, Symbols
+@subsection Reading symbols
+There are two stages to reading a symbol table from a BFD:
+allocating storage, and the actual reading process. This is an
+excerpt from an application which reads the symbol table:
+
+@example
+ long storage_needed;
+ asymbol **symbol_table;
+ long number_of_symbols;
+ long i;
+
+ storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound (abfd);
+
+ if (storage_needed < 0)
+ FAIL
+
+ if (storage_needed == 0)
+ return;
+
+ symbol_table = xmalloc (storage_needed);
+ ...
+ number_of_symbols =
+ bfd_canonicalize_symtab (abfd, symbol_table);
+
+ if (number_of_symbols < 0)
+ FAIL
+
+ for (i = 0; i < number_of_symbols; i++)
+ process_symbol (symbol_table[i]);
+@end example
+
+All storage for the symbols themselves is in an objalloc
+connected to the BFD; it is freed when the BFD is closed.
+
+@node Writing Symbols, Mini Symbols, Reading Symbols, Symbols
+@subsection Writing symbols
+Writing of a symbol table is automatic when a BFD open for
+writing is closed. The application attaches a vector of
+pointers to pointers to symbols to the BFD being written, and
+fills in the symbol count. The close and cleanup code reads
+through the table provided and performs all the necessary
+operations. The BFD output code must always be provided with an
+``owned'' symbol: one which has come from another BFD, or one
+which has been created using @code{bfd_make_empty_symbol}. Here is an
+example showing the creation of a symbol table with only one element:
+
+@example
+ #include "bfd.h"
+ int main (void)
+ @{
+ bfd *abfd;
+ asymbol *ptrs[2];
+ asymbol *new;
+
+ abfd = bfd_openw ("foo","a.out-sunos-big");
+ bfd_set_format (abfd, bfd_object);
+ new = bfd_make_empty_symbol (abfd);
+ new->name = "dummy_symbol";
+ new->section = bfd_make_section_old_way (abfd, ".text");
+ new->flags = BSF_GLOBAL;
+ new->value = 0x12345;
+
+ ptrs[0] = new;
+ ptrs[1] = 0;
+
+ bfd_set_symtab (abfd, ptrs, 1);
+ bfd_close (abfd);
+ return 0;
+ @}
+
+ ./makesym
+ nm foo
+ 00012345 A dummy_symbol
+@end example
+
+Many formats cannot represent arbitrary symbol information; for
+instance, the @code{a.out} object format does not allow an
+arbitrary number of sections. A symbol pointing to a section
+which is not one of @code{.text}, @code{.data} or @code{.bss} cannot
+be described.
+
+@node Mini Symbols, typedef asymbol, Writing Symbols, Symbols
+@subsection Mini Symbols
+Mini symbols provide read-only access to the symbol table.
+They use less memory space, but require more time to access.
+They can be useful for tools like nm or objdump, which may
+have to handle symbol tables of extremely large executables.
+
+The @code{bfd_read_minisymbols} function will read the symbols
+into memory in an internal form. It will return a @code{void *}
+pointer to a block of memory, a symbol count, and the size of
+each symbol. The pointer is allocated using @code{malloc}, and
+should be freed by the caller when it is no longer needed.
+
+The function @code{bfd_minisymbol_to_symbol} will take a pointer
+to a minisymbol, and a pointer to a structure returned by
+@code{bfd_make_empty_symbol}, and return a @code{asymbol} structure.
+The return value may or may not be the same as the value from
+@code{bfd_make_empty_symbol} which was passed in.
+
+
+@node typedef asymbol, symbol handling functions, Mini Symbols, Symbols

+Each port of BFD to a different machine requires the creation
+of a target back end. All the back end provides to the root
+part of BFD is a structure containing pointers to functions
+which perform certain low level operations on files. BFD
+translates the applications's requests through a pointer into
+calls to the back end routines.
+
+When a file is opened with @code{bfd_openr}, its format and
+target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine
+how to interpret the file. The operations performed are:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+Create a BFD by calling the internal routine
+@code{_bfd_new_bfd}, then call @code{bfd_find_target} with the
+target string supplied to @code{bfd_openr} and the new BFD pointer.
+
+@item
+If a null target string was provided to @code{bfd_find_target},
+look up the environment variable @code{GNUTARGET} and use
+that as the target string.
+
+@item
+If the target string is still @code{NULL}, or the target string is
+@code{default}, then use the first item in the target vector
+as the target type, and set @code{target_defaulted} in the BFD to
+cause @code{bfd_check_format} to loop through all the targets.
+@xref{bfd_target}. @xref{Formats}.
+
+@item
+Otherwise, inspect the elements in the target vector
+one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found,
+use it.
+
+@item
+Otherwise return the error @code{bfd_error_invalid_target} to
+@code{bfd_openr}.
+
+@item
+@code{bfd_openr} attempts to open the file using
+@code{bfd_open_file}, and returns the BFD.
+@end itemize
+Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file
+format may be determined. This is done by calling
+@code{bfd_check_format} on the BFD with a suggested format.
+If @code{target_defaulted} has been set, each possible target
+type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format.
+@code{bfd_check_format} returns @code{TRUE} when the caller guesses right.

+
+
+@strong{Description}@*
+This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a
+target. It includes things like its byte order, name, and which
+routines to call to do various operations.
+
+Every BFD points to a target structure with its @code{xvec}
+member.
+
+The macros below are used to dispatch to functions through the
+@code{bfd_target} vector. They are used in a number of macros further
+down in @file{bfd.h}, and are also used when calling various
+routines by hand inside the BFD implementation. The @var{arglist}
+argument must be parenthesized; it contains all the arguments
+to the called function.
+
+They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if
+someone wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.
+@example
+#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
+ ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)
+
+#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
+#undef BFD_SEND
+#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
+ (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \
+ ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist) : \
+ (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
+#endif
+@end example
+For operations which index on the BFD format:
+@example
+#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
+ (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
+
+#ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
+#undef BFD_SEND_FMT
+#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
+ (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \

+ (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
+#endif
+
+@end example
+This is the structure which defines the type of BFD this is. The
+@code{xvec} member of the struct @code{bfd} itself points here. Each
+module that implements access to a different target under BFD,
+defines one of these.
+
+FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of
+the entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one
+macro to define them both!
