+ // gcc 4.3 generates the following sorts of section names when it
+ // needs a section name specific to a function:
+ // .text.FN
+ // .rodata.FN
+ // .sdata2.FN
+ // .data.FN
+ // .data.rel.FN
+ // .data.rel.local.FN
+ // .data.rel.ro.FN
+ // .data.rel.ro.local.FN
+ // .sdata.FN
+ // .bss.FN
+ // .sbss.FN
+ // .tdata.FN
+ // .tbss.FN
+
+ // The GNU linker maps all of those to the part before the .FN,
+ // except that .data.rel.local.FN is mapped to .data, and
+ // .data.rel.ro.local.FN is mapped to .data.rel.ro. The sections
+ // beginning with .data.rel.ro.local are grouped together.
+
+ // For an anonymous namespace, the string FN can contain a '.'.
+
+ // Also of interest: .rodata.strN.N, .rodata.cstN, both of which the
+ // GNU linker maps to .rodata.
+
+ // The .data.rel.ro sections enable a security feature triggered by
+ // the -z relro option. Section which need to be relocated at
+ // program startup time but which may be readonly after startup are
+ // grouped into .data.rel.ro. They are then put into a PT_GNU_RELRO
+ // segment. The dynamic linker will make that segment writable,
+ // perform relocations, and then make it read-only. FIXME: We do
+ // not yet implement this optimization.
+
+ // It is hard to handle this in a principled way.
+
+ // These are the rules we follow:
+
+ // If the section name has no initial '.', or no dot other than an
+ // initial '.', we use the name unchanged (i.e., "mysection" and
+ // ".text" are unchanged).
+
+ // If the name starts with ".data.rel.ro" we use ".data.rel.ro".
+
+ // Otherwise, we drop the second '.' and everything that comes after
+ // it (i.e., ".text.XXX" becomes ".text").
