* objdump.c (dump_reloc_set): Add sec parameter. Change all
callers. If with_line_numbers is set, display line numbers of
relocation entries.
* binutils.texi, objdump.1: Document -l with -r.

Also added binary output format to BFD to permit + generating plain binary files. + +* Added --start-address and --stop-address options to objdump. + +* ar and ranlib now work on AIX. The tools are now built by default on AIX. + +Changes since binutils 2.4 + +* Changed objdump -dr to dump the relocs interspersed with the assembly + listing, for a more useful listing of relocateable files. + +* Changed objdump -d/--disassemble to only disassemble SEC_CODE sections. + Added -D/--disassemble-all option to disassemble all sections. + +* Added --size-sort option to nm. + +* strip and objcopy should now be able to handle dynamically linked ELF + executables. + +Changes since binutils 2.3 + +* Support for HP-PA (by Jeff Law), i386 Mach (by David Mackenzie), RS/6000 and + PowerPC (except ar and ranlib; by Ian Taylor). + +* Support for Irix 5. + +* Programs `strip' and `objcopy' will not attempt to write dynamically linked + ELF output files, since BFD currently can't create them properly. + +Changes since binutils 2.2 + +* A new --stabs argument has been added to objdump to dump stabs sections in + ELF and COFF files. + +* A new program, nlmconv, has been added. It can convert object files into + Novell NetWare Loadable Modules. + +* The strings program has been added. + +Changes since binutils 2.1 + +* The 'copy' program has been renamed to 'objcopy', for consistency with + 'objdump', and because 'copy' might more plausibly be used as a synonym for + 'cp'. + +* The new stand-alone program c++filt is a filter that converts encoded + (mangled) C++ assembly-level identifiers to user-level names. (Note: This + may get moved to the gcc distribution.) + +* nm -o on an archive now prefixes each line with the archive name, matching + the output from BSD nm. + +* ar (and ld) can now read (but not write) BSD4.4-style archives. + +* New support for H8500, Z8000, and the Hitach SH. + +* Dis-assembler interface changed to allow sharing with gdb. + +* There is new Elf code, but it is not yet ready for general use. + +* There is the beginnings of a test suite. + +Changes since binutils 2.0 + +* There is now support for writing ECOFF files, so ld and the other utilities + should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix. Please let us know how well this works. + +* ar now automatically creates a symbol table (a __.SYMDEF member, in the BSD + version), if there are any object files in the archive. So running ranlib is + now redundant (unless the non-standard q command is used). This is required + for Posix.2 conformance. + +* The archive-reading code now reads both BSD-style and SYSV-style archives + independently of the selected target format. This is to encourage people to + switch to SYSV-format, which has a number of advantages. + +* The strip and copy programs now have options to remove debug-symbols only + and/or local symbols only. They now also support long options. + + +Local variables: +fill-column: 79 +End: |
