At the time + of writing this constant has the value of 1024. + + The --no-recurse-limit option can be used to remove the limit, restoring + the behaviour of earlier versions of these tools. This may be needed in + order to dmangle truly complicated names, but it also leaves the tools + vulnerable to stack exhaustion from maliciously constructed mangled names. + * Objdump's --disassemble option can now take a parameter, specifying the starting symbol for disassembly. Disassembly will continue from this symbol up to the next symbol. |
