It is supported just for completeness. @item STT_IFUNC @itemx indirect_function -Mark the symbol as an indirect function when evaluated during reloc -processing. (This is only supported on Linux targeted assemblers). +Mark the symbol as an indirect function. This has the same semantics as +STT_FUNC except when the symbol is referenced by a relocation. In this case +the symbol's value is not used in the relocation but instead the symbol is +invoked as a function taking no arguments and the return value is used in the +relocation. This also means that processing of the relocation must be delayed +until run-time. (This is only supported on some targets). @end table Note: Some targets support extra types in addition to those listed above. |
