Add an optional offset option to the "symbol-file" command
If the main file is relocated at runtime, all symbols are offset by
a fixed amount. Let the user specify this offset when loading a
symbol file.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-06-28 Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz>
* symfile.c (symbol_file_command, symbol_file_add_main_1)
(_initialize_symfile): Add option "-o" to symbol-file to add an
offset to each section of the symbol file.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2018-06-28 Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz>
* gdb.texinfo (Files): Document "symbol-file -o offset".
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-06-28 Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz>
* gdb.base/relocate.exp: Add test for "symbol-file -o ".
