## 1 Introduction

BFD is a package which allows applications to use the same routines to operate on object files whatever the object file format. A new object file format can be supported simply by creating a new BFD back end and adding it to the library.

BFD is split into two parts: the front end, and the back ends (one for each object file format).

- The front end of BFD provides the interface to the user. It manages memory and various canonical data structures. The front end also decides which back end to use and when to call back end routines.
- The back ends provide BFD its view of the real world. Each back end provides a set of calls which the BFD front end can use to maintain its canonical form. The back ends also may keep around information for their own use, for greater efficiency.

Next: How It Works, Previous: Overview, Up: Overview [Contents][Index]

### 1.1 History

One spur behind BFD was the desire, on the part of the GNU 960 team at Intel Oregon, for interoperability of applications on their COFF and b.out file formats. Cygnus was providing GNU support for the team, and was contracted to provide the required functionality.

The name came from a conversation David Wallace was having with Richard Stallman about the library: RMS said that it would be quite hard—David said “BFD”. Stallman was right, but the name stuck.

At the same time, Ready Systems wanted much the same thing, but for different object file formats: IEEE-695, Oasys, Srecords, a.out and 68k coff.

BFD was first implemented by members of Cygnus Support; Steve Chamberlain (`sac@cygnus.com`), John Gilmore (`gnu@cygnus.com`), K. Richard Pixley (`rich@cygnus.com`) and David Henkel-Wallace (`gumby@cygnus.com`).

### 1.2 How To Use BFD

To use the library, include `bfd.h` and link with `libbfd.a`.

BFD provides a common interface to the parts of an object file for a calling application.

When an application successfully opens a target file (object, archive, or whatever), a pointer to an internal structure is returned. This pointer points to a structure called `bfd`, described in `bfd.h`. Our convention is to call this pointer a BFD, and instances of it within code `abfd`. All operations on the target object file are applied as methods to the BFD. The mapping is defined within `bfd.h` in a set of macros, all beginning with ‘`bfd_`’ to reduce namespace pollution.

For example, this sequence does what you would probably expect: return the number of sections in an object file attached to a BFD `abfd`.

    #include "bfd.h"

    unsigned int number_of_sections (abfd)
    bfd *abfd;
    {
      return bfd_count_sections (abfd);
    }

The abstraction used within BFD is that an object file has:

- a header,
- a number of sections containing raw data (see Sections),
- a set of relocations (see Relocations), and
- some symbol information (see Symbols).

Also, BFDs opened for archives have the additional attribute of an index and contain subordinate BFDs. This approach is fine for a.out and coff, but loses efficiency when applied to formats such as S-records and IEEE-695.

### 1.3 What BFD Version 2 Can Do

When an object file is opened, BFD subroutines automatically determine the format of the input object file. They then build a descriptor in memory with pointers to routines that will be used to access elements of the object file’s data structures.

As different information from the object files is required, BFD reads from different sections of the file and processes them. For example, a very common operation for the linker is processing symbol tables. Each BFD back end provides a routine for converting between the object file’s representation of symbols and an internal canonical format. When the linker asks for the symbol table of an object file, it calls through a memory pointer to the routine from the relevant BFD back end which reads and converts the table into a canonical form. The linker then operates upon the canonical form. When the link is finished and the linker writes the output file’s symbol table, another BFD back end routine is called to take the newly created symbol table and convert it into the chosen output format.

#### 1.3.1 Information Loss

Information can be lost during output. The output formats supported by BFD do not provide identical facilities, and information which can be described in one form has nowhere to go in another format. One example of this is alignment information in `b.out`. There is nowhere in an `a.out` format file to store alignment information on the contained data, so when a file is linked from `b.out` and an `a.out` image is produced, alignment information will not propagate to the output file. (The linker will still use the alignment information internally, so the link is performed correctly).

Another example is COFF section names. COFF files may contain an unlimited number of sections, each one with a textual section name. If the target of the link is a format which does not have many sections (e.g., `a.out`) or has sections without names (e.g., the Oasys format), the link cannot be done simply. You can circumvent this problem by describing the desired input-to-output section mapping with the linker command language.

Information can be lost during canonicalization. The BFD internal canonical form of the external formats is not exhaustive; there are structures in input formats for which there is no direct representation internally. This means that the BFD back ends cannot maintain all possible data richness through the transformation between external to internal and back to external formats.

This limitation is only a problem when an application reads one format and writes another. Each BFD back end is responsible for maintaining as much data as possible, and the internal BFD canonical form has structures which are opaque to the BFD core, and exported only to the back ends. When a file is read in one format, the canonical form is generated for BFD and the application. At the same time, the back end saves away any information which may otherwise be lost. If the data is then written back in the same format, the back end routine will be able to use the canonical form provided by the BFD core as well as the information it prepared earlier. Since there is a great deal of commonality between back ends, there is no information lost when linking or copying big endian COFF to little endian COFF, or `a.out` to `b.out`. When a mixture of formats is linked, the information is only lost from the files whose format differs from the destination.

#### 1.3.2 The BFD canonical object-file format

The greatest potential for loss of information occurs when there is the least overlap between the information provided by the source format, that stored by the canonical format, and that needed by the destination format. A brief description of the canonical form may help you understand which kinds of data you can count on preserving across conversions.

files

  Information stored on a per-file basis includes target machine architecture, particular implementation format type, a demand pageable bit, and a write protected bit. Information like Unix magic numbers is not stored here—only the magic numbers’ meaning, so a `ZMAGIC` file would have both the demand pageable bit and the write protected text bit set. The byte order of the target is stored on a per-file basis, so that big- and little-endian object files may be used with one another.

sections

  Each section in the input file contains the name of the section, the section’s original address in the object file, size and alignment information, various flags, and pointers into other BFD data structures.

symbols

  Each symbol contains a pointer to the information for the object file which originally defined it, its name, its value, and various flag bits. When a BFD back end reads in a symbol table, it relocates all symbols to make them relative to the base of the section where they were defined. Doing this ensures that each symbol points to its containing section. Each symbol also has a varying amount of hidden private data for the BFD back end. Since the symbol points to the original file, the private data format for that symbol is accessible. `ld` can operate on a collection of symbols of wildly different formats without problems.

  Normal global and simple local symbols are maintained on output, so an output file (no matter its format) will retain symbols pointing to functions and to global, static, and common variables. Some symbol information is not worth retaining; in `a.out`, type information is stored in the symbol table as long symbol names. This information would be useless to most COFF debuggers; the linker has command line switches to allow users to throw it away.

  There is one word of type information within the symbol, so if the format supports symbol type information within symbols (for example, COFF, Oasys) and the type is simple enough to fit within one word (nearly everything but aggregates), the information will be preserved.

relocation level

  Each canonical BFD relocation record contains a pointer to the symbol to relocate to, the offset of the data to relocate, the section the data is in, and a pointer to a relocation type descriptor. Relocation is performed by passing messages through the relocation type descriptor and the symbol pointer. Therefore, relocations can be performed on output data using a relocation method that is only available in one of the input formats. For instance, Oasys provides a byte relocation format. A relocation record requesting this relocation type would point indirectly to a routine to perform this, so the relocation may be performed on a byte being written to a 68k COFF file, even though 68k COFF has no such relocation type.

line numbers

  Object formats can contain, for debugging purposes, some form of mapping between symbols, source line numbers, and addresses in the output file. These addresses have to be relocated along with the symbol information. Each symbol with an associated list of line number records points to the first record of the list. The head of a line number list consists of a pointer to the symbol, which allows finding out the address of the function whose line number is being described. The rest of the list is made up of pairs: offsets into the section and line numbers. Any format which can simply derive this information can pass it successfully between formats.

### 2.1 `typedef bfd`

A BFD has type `bfd`; objects of this type are the cornerstone of any application using BFD. Using BFD consists of making references though the BFD and to data in the BFD.

Here is the structure that defines the type `bfd`. It contains the major data about the file and pointers to the rest of the data.

    enum bfd_direction
      {
        no_direction = 0,
        read_direction = 1,
        write_direction = 2,

### 2.2 Error reporting

Most BFD functions return nonzero on success (check their individual documentation for precise semantics). On an error, they call `bfd_set_error` to set an error condition that callers can check by calling `bfd_get_error`. If that returns `bfd_error_system_call`, then check `errno`.

The easiest way to report a BFD error to the user is to use `bfd_perror`.

#### 2.2.1 Type `bfd_error_type`

The values returned by `bfd_get_error` are defined by the enumerated type `bfd_error_type`.

    typedef enum bfd_error
    {
      bfd_error_no_error = 0,
      bfd_error_system_call,
      bfd_error_invalid_target,
      bfd_error_wrong_format,
      bfd_error_wrong_object_format,
      bfd_error_invalid_operation,
      bfd_error_no_memory,
      bfd_error_no_symbols,
      bfd_error_no_armap,
      bfd_error_no_more_archived_files,
      bfd_error_malformed_archive,
      bfd_error_missing_dso,
      bfd_error_file_not_recognized,
      bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized,
      bfd_error_no_contents,
      bfd_error_nonrepresentable_section,
      bfd_error_no_debug_section,
      bfd_error_bad_value,
      bfd_error_file_truncated,
      bfd_error_file_too_big,
      bfd_error_on_input,
      bfd_error_invalid_error_code
    }
    bfd_error_type;

#### 2.2.1.1 `bfd_get_error`

Synopsis

    bfd_error_type bfd_get_error (void);

Description
Return the current BFD error condition.

#### 2.2.1.2 `bfd_set_error`

Synopsis

    void bfd_set_error (bfd_error_type error_tag);

Description
Set the BFD error condition to be error_tag.

error_tag must not be bfd_error_on_input. Use bfd_set_input_error for input errors instead.

#### 2.2.1.3 `bfd_set_input_error`

Synopsis

    void bfd_set_input_error (bfd *input, bfd_error_type error_tag);

Description
Set the BFD error condition to be bfd_error_on_input. input is the input bfd where the error occurred, and error_tag the bfd_error_type error.

#### 2.2.1.4 `bfd_errmsg`

Synopsis

    const char *bfd_errmsg (bfd_error_type error_tag);

Description
Return a string describing the error error_tag, or the system error if error_tag is `bfd_error_system_call`.

#### 2.2.1.5 `bfd_perror`

Synopsis

    void bfd_perror (const char *message);

Description
Print to the standard error stream a string describing the last BFD error that occurred, or the last system error if the last BFD error was a system call failure. If message is non-NULL and non-empty, the error string printed is preceded by message, a colon, and a space. It is followed by a newline.

#### 2.2.2 BFD error handler

Some BFD functions want to print messages describing the problem. They call a BFD error handler function. This function may be overridden by the program.

The BFD error handler acts like vprintf.

    typedef void (*bfd_error_handler_type) (const char *, va_list);

#### 2.2.2.1 `_bfd_error_handler`

Synopsis

    void _bfd_error_handler (const char *fmt, ...) ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF_1;

Description
This is the default routine to handle BFD error messages. Like fprintf (stderr, ...), but also handles some extra format specifiers.

%pA section name from section. For group components, prints group name too. %pB file name from bfd. For archive components, prints archive too.

Beware: Only supports a maximum of 9 format arguments.

#### 2.2.2.2 `bfd_set_error_handler`

Synopsis

    bfd_error_handler_type bfd_set_error_handler (bfd_error_handler_type);

Description
Set the BFD error handler function. Returns the previous function.

#### 2.2.2.3 `bfd_set_error_program_name`

Synopsis

    void bfd_set_error_program_name (const char *);

Description
Set the program name to use when printing a BFD error. This is printed before the error message followed by a colon and space. The string must not be changed after it is passed to this function.

#### 2.2.3 BFD assert handler

If BFD finds an internal inconsistency, the bfd assert handler is called with information on the BFD version, BFD source file and line. If this happens, most programs linked against BFD are expected to want to exit with an error, or mark the current BFD operation as failed, so it is recommended to override the default handler, which just calls _bfd_error_handler and continues.

    typedef void (*bfd_assert_handler_type) (const char *bfd_formatmsg,
                                             const char *bfd_version,
                                             const char *bfd_file,
                                             int bfd_line);

#### 2.2.3.1 `bfd_set_assert_handler`

Synopsis

    bfd_assert_handler_type bfd_set_assert_handler (bfd_assert_handler_type);

Description
Set the BFD assert handler function. Returns the previous function.

### 2.3 Miscellaneous

#### 2.3.1 Miscellaneous functions

#### 2.3.1.1 `bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound`

Synopsis

    long bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound (bfd *abfd, asection *sect);

Description
Return the number of bytes required to store the relocation information associated with section sect attached to bfd abfd. If an error occurs, return -1.

#### 2.3.1.2 `bfd_canonicalize_reloc`

Synopsis

    long bfd_canonicalize_reloc
       (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **loc, asymbol **syms);

Description
Call the back end associated with the open BFD abfd and translate the external form of the relocation information attached to sec into the internal canonical form. Place the table into memory at loc, which has been preallocated, usually by a call to `bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound`. Returns the number of relocs, or -1 on error.

The syms table is also needed for horrible internal magic reasons.

#### 2.3.1.3 `bfd_set_reloc`

Synopsis

    void bfd_set_reloc
       (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **rel, unsigned int count);

Description

#### 2.3.1.4 `bfd_set_file_flags`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_file_flags (bfd *abfd, flagword flags);

Description
Set the flag word in the BFD abfd to the value flags.

Possible errors are:

- `bfd_error_wrong_format` - The target bfd was not of object format.
- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - The target bfd was open for reading.
- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - The flag word contained a bit which was not applicable to the type of file. E.g., an attempt was made to set the `D_PAGED` bit on a BFD format which does not support demand paging.

#### 2.3.1.5 `bfd_get_arch_size`

Synopsis

    int bfd_get_arch_size (bfd *abfd);

Description
Returns the normalized architecture address size, in bits, as determined by the object file’s format. By normalized, we mean either 32 or 64. For ELF, this information is included in the header. Use bfd_arch_bits_per_address for number of bits in the architecture address.

Returns
Returns the arch size in bits if known, `-1` otherwise.

#### 2.3.1.6 `bfd_get_sign_extend_vma`

Synopsis

    int bfd_get_sign_extend_vma (bfd *abfd);

Description
Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends an address. Some architectures implicitly sign extend address values when they are converted to types larger than the size of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is the case.

Returns
Returns `1` if the target architecture is known to sign extend addresses, `0` if the target architecture is known to not sign extend addresses, and `-1` otherwise.

#### 2.3.1.7 `bfd_set_start_address`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_start_address (bfd *abfd, bfd_vma vma);

Description
Make vma the entry point of output BFD abfd.

Returns
Returns `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` otherwise.

#### 2.3.1.8 `bfd_get_gp_size`

Synopsis

    unsigned int bfd_get_gp_size (bfd *abfd);

Description
Return the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP register under MIPS ECOFF. This is typically set by the `-G` argument to the compiler, assembler or linker.

#### 2.3.1.9 `bfd_set_gp_size`

Synopsis

    void bfd_set_gp_size (bfd *abfd, unsigned int i);

Description
Set the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP register under ECOFF or MIPS ELF. This is typically set by the `-G` argument to the compiler, assembler or linker.

#### 2.3.1.10 `bfd_scan_vma`

Synopsis

    bfd_vma bfd_scan_vma (const char *string, const char **end, int base);

Description
Convert, like `strtoul`, a numerical expression string into a `bfd_vma` integer, and return that integer. (Though without as many bells and whistles as `strtoul`.) The expression is assumed to be unsigned (i.e., positive). If given a base, it is used as the base for conversion. A base of 0 causes the function to interpret the string in hex if a leading "0x" or "0X" is found, otherwise in octal if a leading zero is found, otherwise in decimal.

If the value would overflow, the maximum `bfd_vma` value is returned.

#### 2.3.1.11 `bfd_copy_private_header_data`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_copy_private_header_data (bfd *ibfd, bfd *obfd);

Description
Copy private BFD header information from the BFD ibfd to the the BFD obfd. This copies information that may require sections to exist, but does not require symbol tables. Return `true` on success, `false` on error. Possible error returns are:

- `bfd_error_no_memory` - Not enough memory exists to create private data for obfd.

    #define bfd_copy_private_header_data(ibfd, obfd) \
           BFD_SEND (obfd, _bfd_copy_private_header_data, \

#### 2.3.1.27 `bfd_get_mtime`

Synopsis

    long bfd_get_mtime (bfd *abfd);

Description
Return the file modification time (as read from the file system, or from the archive header for archive members).

#### 2.3.1.28 `bfd_get_size`

Synopsis

    ufile_ptr bfd_get_size (bfd *abfd);

Description
Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file associated with BFD abfd.

The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since that might not be generally possible (archive members for example). It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify it so that such results were guaranteed.

Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized object I’m about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?" As as example of where we might do this, some object formats use string tables for which the first `sizeof (long)` bytes of the table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes. If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read. This function at least allows us to answer the question, "is the size reasonable?".

#### 2.3.1.29 `bfd_get_file_size`

Synopsis

    ufile_ptr bfd_get_file_size (bfd *abfd);

Description
Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file associated with BFD abfd. It supports both normal files and archive elements.

Synopsis

    void *bfd_mmap (bfd *abfd, void *addr, bfd_size_type len,
        int prot, int flags, file_ptr offset,
        void **map_addr, bfd_size_type *map_len);

Description
Return mmap()ed region of the file, if possible and implemented. LEN and OFFSET do not need to be page aligned. The page aligned address and length are written to MAP_ADDR and MAP_LEN.

### 2.4 Memory Usage

BFD keeps all of its internal structures in obstacks. There is one obstack per open BFD file, into which the current state is stored. When a BFD is closed, the obstack is deleted, and so everything which has been allocated by BFD for the closing file is thrown away.

BFD does not free anything created by an application, but pointers into `bfd` structures become invalid on a `bfd_close`; for example, after a `bfd_close` the vector passed to `bfd_canonicalize_symtab` is still around, since it has been allocated by the application, but the data that it pointed to are lost.

The general rule is to not close a BFD until all operations dependent upon data from the BFD have been completed, or all the data from within the file has been copied. To help with the management of memory, there is a function (`bfd_alloc_size`) which returns the number of bytes in obstacks associated with the supplied BFD. This could be used to select the greediest open BFD, close it to reclaim the memory, perform some operation and reopen the BFD again, to get a fresh copy of the data structures.

### 2.5 Initialization

#### 2.5.1 Initialization functions

These are the functions that handle initializing a BFD.

#### 2.5.1.1 `bfd_init`

Synopsis

    void bfd_init (void);

Description
This routine must be called before any other BFD function to initialize magical internal data structures.

Next: Symbols, Previous: Initialization, Up: BFD front end [Contents][Index]

### 2.6 Sections

The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of sections. It keeps hold of them by pointing to the first; each one points to the next in the list.

Sections are supported in BFD in `section.c`.

Next: Section Output, Previous: Sections, Up: Sections [Contents][Index]

#### 2.6.1 Section input

When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are created and attached to the BFD.

Each section has a name which describes the section in the outside world—for example, `a.out` would contain at least three sections, called `.text`, `.data` and `.bss`.

Names need not be unique; for example a COFF file may have several sections named `.data`.

Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the “natural” number of sections. A back end may attach other sections containing constructor data, or an application may add a section (using `bfd_make_section`) to the sections attached to an already open BFD. For example, the linker creates an extra section `COMMON` for each input file’s BFD to hold information about common storage.

The raw data is not necessarily read in when the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the data in place until a `bfd_get_section_contents` call is made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once. For example, an S-record file has to be read once to determine the size of the data.

Next: typedef asection, Previous: Section Input, Up: Sections [Contents][Index]

#### 2.6.2 Section output

To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in the same way as input sections; data is written to the sections using `bfd_set_section_contents`.

Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler and linker) must use the `asection` fields `output_section` and `output_offset` to indicate the file sections to which each section must be written. (If the section is being created from scratch, `output_section` should probably point to the section itself and `output_offset` should probably be zero.)

The data to be written comes from input sections attached (via `output_section` pointers) to the output sections. The output section structure can be considered a filter for the input section: the output section determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the input section determines the offset into the output section of the data to be written.

E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long, containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (i.e., at vma 0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (i.e., at vma 0x120) the `asection` structures would look like:

       section name          "A"
         output_offset   0x00
         size            0x20
         output_section ----------->  section name    "O"
                                 |    vma             0x100
       section name          "B" |    size            0x123
         output_offset   0x20    |
         size            0x103   |
         output_section  --------|

#### 2.6.3 Link orders

The data within a section is stored in a link_order. These are much like the fixups in `gas`. The link_order abstraction allows a section to grow and shrink within itself.

A link_order knows how big it is, and which is the next link_order and where the raw data for it is; it also points to a list of relocations which apply to it.

The link_order is used by the linker to perform relaxing on final code. The compiler creates code which is as big as necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on a link_order by link_order basis.

#### 2.6.5 Section prototypes

These are the functions exported by the section handling part of BFD.

#### 2.6.5.1 `bfd_section_list_clear`

Synopsis

    void bfd_section_list_clear (bfd *);

Description
Clears the section list, and also resets the section count and hash table entries.

#### 2.6.5.2 `bfd_get_section_by_name`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_get_section_by_name (bfd *abfd, const char *name);

Description
Return the most recently created section attached to abfd named name. Return NULL if no such section exists.

#### 2.6.5.3 `bfd_get_next_section_by_name`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_get_next_section_by_name (bfd *ibfd, asection *sec);

Description
Given sec is a section returned by `bfd_get_section_by_name`, return the next most recently created section attached to the same BFD with the same name, or if no such section exists in the same BFD and IBFD is non-NULL, the next section with the same name in any input BFD following IBFD. Return NULL on finding no section.

#### 2.6.5.4 `bfd_get_linker_section`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_get_linker_section (bfd *abfd, const char *name);

Description
Return the linker created section attached to abfd named name. Return NULL if no such section exists.

#### 2.6.5.5 `bfd_get_section_by_name_if`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_get_section_by_name_if
       (bfd *abfd,
        const char *name,
        bfd_boolean (*func) (bfd *abfd, asection *sect, void *obj),
        void *obj);

Description
Call the provided function func for each section attached to the BFD abfd whose name matches name, passing obj as an argument. The function will be called as if by

           func (abfd, the_section, obj);

It returns the first section for which func returns true, otherwise `NULL`.

#### 2.6.5.6 `bfd_get_unique_section_name`

Synopsis

    char *bfd_get_unique_section_name
       (bfd *abfd, const char *templat, int *count);

Description
Invent a section name that is unique in abfd by tacking a dot and a digit suffix onto the original templat. If count is non-NULL, then it specifies the first number tried as a suffix to generate a unique name. The value pointed to by count will be incremented in this case.

#### 2.6.5.7 `bfd_make_section_old_way`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_make_section_old_way (bfd *abfd, const char *name);

Description
Create a new empty section called name and attach it to the end of the chain of sections for the BFD abfd. An attempt to create a section with a name which is already in use returns its pointer without changing the section chain.

It has the funny name since this is the way it used to be before it was rewritten....

Possible errors are:

- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - If output has already started for this BFD.
- `bfd_error_no_memory` - If memory allocation fails.

#### 2.6.5.8 `bfd_make_section_anyway_with_flags`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_make_section_anyway_with_flags
       (bfd *abfd, const char *name, flagword flags);

Description
Create a new empty section called name and attach it to the end of the chain of sections for abfd. Create a new section even if there is already a section with that name. Also set the attributes of the new section to the value flags.

Return `NULL` and set `bfd_error` on error; possible errors are:

- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - If output has already started for abfd.
- `bfd_error_no_memory` - If memory allocation fails.

#### 2.6.5.9 `bfd_make_section_anyway`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_make_section_anyway (bfd *abfd, const char *name);

Description
Create a new empty section called name and attach it to the end of the chain of sections for abfd. Create a new section even if there is already a section with that name.

Return `NULL` and set `bfd_error` on error; possible errors are:

- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - If output has already started for abfd.
- `bfd_error_no_memory` - If memory allocation fails.

#### 2.6.5.10 `bfd_make_section_with_flags`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_make_section_with_flags
       (bfd *, const char *name, flagword flags);

Description
Like `bfd_make_section_anyway`, but return `NULL` (without calling bfd_set_error ()) without changing the section chain if there is already a section named name. Also set the attributes of the new section to the value flags. If there is an error, return `NULL` and set `bfd_error`.

#### 2.6.5.11 `bfd_make_section`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_make_section (bfd *, const char *name);

Description
Like `bfd_make_section_anyway`, but return `NULL` (without calling bfd_set_error ()) without changing the section chain if there is already a section named name. If there is an error, return `NULL` and set `bfd_error`.

#### 2.6.5.12 `bfd_set_section_flags`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_section_flags
       (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, flagword flags);

Description
Set the attributes of the section sec in the BFD abfd to the value flags. Return `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error. Possible error returns are:

- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - The section cannot have one or more of the attributes requested. For example, a .bss section in `a.out` may not have the `SEC_HAS_CONTENTS` field set.

#### 2.6.5.13 `bfd_rename_section`

Synopsis

    void bfd_rename_section
       (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, const char *newname);

Description
Rename section sec in abfd to newname.

#### 2.6.5.14 `bfd_map_over_sections`

Synopsis

    void bfd_map_over_sections
       (bfd *abfd,
        void (*func) (bfd *abfd, asection *sect, void *obj),
        void *obj);

Description
Call the provided function func for each section attached to the BFD abfd, passing obj as an argument. The function will be called as if by

           func (abfd, the_section, obj);

This is the preferred method for iterating over sections; an alternative would be to use a loop:

              asection *p;
              for (p = abfd->sections; p != NULL; p = p->next)
                 func (abfd, p, ...)

#### 2.6.5.15 `bfd_sections_find_if`

Synopsis

    asection *bfd_sections_find_if
       (bfd *abfd,
        bfd_boolean (*operation) (bfd *abfd, asection *sect, void *obj),
        void *obj);

Description
Call the provided function operation for each section attached to the BFD abfd, passing obj as an argument. The function will be called as if by

           operation (abfd, the_section, obj);

It returns the first section for which operation returns true.

#### 2.6.5.16 `bfd_set_section_size`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_section_size
       (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, bfd_size_type val);

Description
Set sec to the size val. If the operation is ok, then `TRUE` is returned, else `FALSE`.

Possible error returns:

- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - Writing has started to the BFD, so setting the size is invalid.

#### 2.6.5.17 `bfd_set_section_contents`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_section_contents
       (bfd *abfd, asection *section, const void *data,
        file_ptr offset, bfd_size_type count);

Description
Sets the contents of the section section in BFD abfd to the data starting in memory at data. The data is written to the output section starting at offset offset for count octets.

Normally `TRUE` is returned, else `FALSE`. Possible error returns are:

- `bfd_error_no_contents` - The output section does not have the `SEC_HAS_CONTENTS` attribute, so nothing can be written to it.
- and some more too

This routine is front end to the back end function `_bfd_set_section_contents`.

#### 2.6.5.18 `bfd_get_section_contents`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_get_section_contents
       (bfd *abfd, asection *section, void *location, file_ptr offset,
        bfd_size_type count);

Description
Read data from section in BFD abfd into memory starting at location. The data is read at an offset of offset from the start of the input section, and is read for count bytes.

If the contents of a constructor with the `SEC_CONSTRUCTOR` flag set are requested or if the section does not have the `SEC_HAS_CONTENTS` flag set, then the location is filled with zeroes. If no errors occur, `TRUE` is returned, else `FALSE`.

#### 2.6.5.19 `bfd_malloc_and_get_section`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_malloc_and_get_section
       (bfd *abfd, asection *section, bfd_byte **buf);

Description
Read all data from section in BFD abfd into a buffer, *buf, malloc’d by this function.

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_copy_private_section_data
       (bfd *ibfd, asection *isec, bfd *obfd, asection *osec);

Description
Copy private section information from isec in the BFD ibfd to the section osec in the BFD obfd. Return `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error. Possible error returns are:

- `bfd_error_no_memory` - Not enough memory exists to create private data for osec.

### 2.7 Symbols

BFD tries to maintain as much symbol information as it can when it moves information from file to file. BFD passes information to applications though the `asymbol` structure. When the application requests the symbol table, BFD reads the table in the native form and translates parts of it into the internal format. To maintain more than the information passed to applications, some targets keep some information “behind the scenes” in a structure only the particular back end knows about. For example, the coff back end keeps the original symbol table structure as well as the canonical structure when a BFD is read in. On output, the coff back end can reconstruct the output symbol table so that no information is lost, even information unique to coff which BFD doesn’t know or understand. If a coff symbol table were read, but were written through an a.out back end, all the coff specific information would be lost. The symbol table of a BFD is not necessarily read in until a canonicalize request is made. Then the BFD back end fills in a table provided by the application with pointers to the canonical information. To output symbols, the application provides BFD with a table of pointers to pointers to `asymbol`s. This allows applications like the linker to output a symbol as it was read, since the “behind the scenes” information will be still available.

#### 2.7.1 Reading symbols

There are two stages to reading a symbol table from a BFD: allocating storage, and the actual reading process. This is an excerpt from an application which reads the symbol table:

             long storage_needed;
             asymbol **symbol_table;
             long number_of_symbols;
             long i;

             storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound (abfd);

             if (storage_needed < 0)
               FAIL

             if (storage_needed == 0)
               return;

             symbol_table = xmalloc (storage_needed);
               ...
             number_of_symbols =
                bfd_canonicalize_symtab (abfd, symbol_table);

             if (number_of_symbols < 0)
               FAIL

             for (i = 0; i < number_of_symbols; i++)
               process_symbol (symbol_table[i]);

All storage for the symbols themselves is in an objalloc connected to the BFD; it is freed when the BFD is closed.

Next: Mini Symbols, Previous: Reading Symbols, Up: Symbols [Contents][Index]

#### 2.7.2 Writing symbols

Writing of a symbol table is automatic when a BFD open for writing is closed. The application attaches a vector of pointers to pointers to symbols to the BFD being written, and fills in the symbol count. The close and cleanup code reads through the table provided and performs all the necessary operations. The BFD output code must always be provided with an “owned” symbol: one which has come from another BFD, or one which has been created using `bfd_make_empty_symbol`. Here is an example showing the creation of a symbol table with only one element:

           #include "sysdep.h"
           #include "bfd.h"
           int main (void)
           {
             bfd *abfd;
             asymbol *ptrs[2];
             asymbol *new;

             abfd = bfd_openw ("foo","a.out-sunos-big");
             bfd_set_format (abfd, bfd_object);
             new = bfd_make_empty_symbol (abfd);
             new->name = "dummy_symbol";
             new->section = bfd_make_section_old_way (abfd, ".text");
             new->flags = BSF_GLOBAL;
             new->value = 0x12345;

             ptrs[0] = new;
             ptrs[1] = 0;

             bfd_set_symtab (abfd, ptrs, 1);
             bfd_close (abfd);
             return 0;
           }

           ./makesym
           nm foo
           00012345 A dummy_symbol

Many formats cannot represent arbitrary symbol information; for instance, the `a.out` object format does not allow an arbitrary number of sections. A symbol pointing to a section which is not one of `.text`, `.data` or `.bss` cannot be described.

#### 2.7.3 Mini Symbols

Mini symbols provide read-only access to the symbol table. They use less memory space, but require more time to access. They can be useful for tools like nm or objdump, which may have to handle symbol tables of extremely large executables.

The `bfd_read_minisymbols` function will read the symbols into memory in an internal form. It will return a `void *` pointer to a block of memory, a symbol count, and the size of each symbol. The pointer is allocated using `malloc`, and should be freed by the caller when it is no longer needed.

The function `bfd_minisymbol_to_symbol` will take a pointer to a minisymbol, and a pointer to a structure returned by `bfd_make_empty_symbol`, and return a `asymbol` structure. The return value may or may not be the same as the value from `bfd_make_empty_symbol` which was passed in.

         This field is *almost* redundant, since you can use section->owner
         instead, except that some symbols point to the global sections

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_is_local_label_name (bfd *abfd, const char *name);

Description
Return TRUE if a symbol with the name name in the BFD abfd is a compiler generated local label, else return FALSE. This just checks whether the name has the form of a local label.

    #define bfd_is_local_label_name(abfd, name) \
           BFD_SEND (abfd, _bfd_is_local_label_name, (abfd, name))

#### 2.7.5.8 `bfd_make_empty_symbol`

Description
Create a new `asymbol` structure for the BFD abfd and return a pointer to it.

       (bfd *ibfd, asymbol *isym, bfd *obfd, asymbol *osym);

Description
Copy private symbol information from isym in the BFD ibfd to the symbol osym in the BFD obfd. Return `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error. Possible error returns are:

### 2.8 Archives

Description
An archive (or library) is just another BFD. It has a symbol table, although there’s not much a user program will do with it.

The big difference between an archive BFD and an ordinary BFD is that the archive doesn’t have sections. Instead it has a chain of BFDs that are considered its contents. These BFDs can be manipulated like any other. The BFDs contained in an archive opened for reading will all be opened for reading. You may put either input or output BFDs into an archive opened for output; they will be handled correctly when the archive is closed.

Use `bfd_openr_next_archived_file` to step through the contents of an archive opened for input. You don’t have to read the entire archive if you don’t want to! Read it until you find what you want.

A BFD returned by `bfd_openr_next_archived_file` can be closed manually with `bfd_close`. If you do not close it, then a second iteration through the members of an archive may return the same BFD. If you close the archive BFD, then all the member BFDs will automatically be closed as well.

Archive contents of output BFDs are chained through the `archive_next` pointer in a BFD. The first one is findable through the `archive_head` slot of the archive. Set it with `bfd_set_archive_head` (q.v.). A given BFD may be in only one open output archive at a time.

As expected, the BFD archive code is more general than the archive code of any given environment. BFD archives may contain files of different formats (e.g., a.out and coff) and even different architectures. You may even place archives recursively into archives!

This can cause unexpected confusion, since some archive formats are more expressive than others. For instance, Intel COFF archives can preserve long filenames; SunOS a.out archives cannot. If you move a file from the first to the second format and back again, the filename may be truncated. Likewise, different a.out environments have different conventions as to how they truncate filenames, whether they preserve directory names in filenames, etc. When interoperating with native tools, be sure your files are homogeneous.

Beware: most of these formats do not react well to the presence of spaces in filenames. We do the best we can, but can’t always handle this case due to restrictions in the format of archives. Many Unix utilities are braindead in regards to spaces and such in filenames anyway, so this shouldn’t be much of a restriction.

Archives are supported in BFD in `archive.c`.

#### 2.8.1 Archive functions

#### 2.8.1.1 `bfd_get_next_mapent`

Synopsis

    symindex bfd_get_next_mapent
       (bfd *abfd, symindex previous, carsym **sym);

Description
Step through archive abfd’s symbol table (if it has one). Successively update sym with the next symbol’s information, returning that symbol’s (internal) index into the symbol table.

Supply `BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS` as the previous entry to get the first one; returns `BFD_NO_MORE_SYMBOLS` when you’ve already got the last one.

A `carsym` is a canonical archive symbol. The only user-visible element is its name, a null-terminated string.

#### 2.8.1.2 `bfd_set_archive_head`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_archive_head (bfd *output, bfd *new_head);

Description
Set the head of the chain of BFDs contained in the archive output to new_head.

#### 2.8.1.3 `bfd_openr_next_archived_file`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_openr_next_archived_file (bfd *archive, bfd *previous);

Description
Provided a BFD, archive, containing an archive and NULL, open an input BFD on the first contained element and returns that. Subsequent calls should pass the archive and the previous return value to return a created BFD to the next contained element. NULL is returned when there are no more. Note - if you want to process the bfd returned by this call be sure to call bfd_check_format() on it first.

### 2.9 File formats

A format is a BFD concept of high level file contents type. The formats supported by BFD are:

- `bfd_object`

The BFD may contain data, symbols, relocations and debug info.

- `bfd_archive`

The BFD contains other BFDs and an optional index.

- `bfd_core`

The BFD contains the result of an executable core dump.

#### 2.9.1 File format functions

#### 2.9.1.1 `bfd_check_format`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_check_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);

Description
Verify if the file attached to the BFD abfd is compatible with the format format (i.e., one of `bfd_object`, `bfd_archive` or `bfd_core`).

If the BFD has been set to a specific target before the call, only the named target and format combination is checked. If the target has not been set, or has been set to `default`, then all the known target backends is interrogated to determine a match. If the default target matches, it is used. If not, exactly one target must recognize the file, or an error results.

The function returns `TRUE` on success, otherwise `FALSE` with one of the following error codes:

- `bfd_error_invalid_operation` - if `format` is not one of `bfd_object`, `bfd_archive` or `bfd_core`.
- `bfd_error_system_call` - if an error occured during a read - even some file mismatches can cause bfd_error_system_calls.
- `file_not_recognised` - none of the backends recognised the file format.
- `bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized` - more than one backend recognised the file format.

#### 2.9.1.2 `bfd_check_format_matches`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_check_format_matches
       (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format, char ***matching);

Description
Like `bfd_check_format`, except when it returns FALSE with `bfd_errno` set to `bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized`. In that case, if matching is not NULL, it will be filled in with a NULL-terminated list of the names of the formats that matched, allocated with `malloc`. Then the user may choose a format and try again.

When done with the list that matching points to, the caller should free it.

#### 2.9.1.3 `bfd_set_format`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_format (bfd *abfd, bfd_format format);

Description
This function sets the file format of the BFD abfd to the format format. If the target set in the BFD does not support the format requested, the format is invalid, or the BFD is not open for writing, then an error occurs.

#### 2.9.1.4 `bfd_format_string`

Synopsis

    const char *bfd_format_string (bfd_format format);

Description
Return a pointer to a const string `invalid`, `object`, `archive`, `core`, or `unknown`, depending upon the value of format.

### 2.10 Relocations

BFD maintains relocations in much the same way it maintains symbols: they are left alone until required, then read in en-masse and translated into an internal form. A common routine `bfd_perform_relocation` acts upon the canonical form to do the fixup.

Relocations are maintained on a per section basis, while symbols are maintained on a per BFD basis.

All that a back end has to do to fit the BFD interface is to create a `struct reloc_cache_entry` for each relocation in a particular section, and fill in the right bits of the structures.

#### 2.10.1 typedef arelent

This is the structure of a relocation entry:

    typedef enum bfd_reloc_status
    {
      /* No errors detected.  Note - the value 2 is used so that it
         will not be mistaken for the boolean TRUE or FALSE values.  */
      bfd_reloc_ok = 2,

      /* The relocation was performed, but there was an overflow.  */
      bfd_reloc_overflow,

      /* The address to relocate was not within the section supplied.  */
      bfd_reloc_outofrange,

      /* Used by special functions.  */
      bfd_reloc_continue,

      /* Unsupported relocation size requested.  */
      bfd_reloc_notsupported,

      /* Unused.  */
      bfd_reloc_other,

      /* The symbol to relocate against was undefined.  */
      bfd_reloc_undefined,

      /* The relocation was performed, but may not be ok.  If this type is
         returned, the error_message argument to bfd_perform_relocation
         will be set.  */
      bfd_reloc_dangerous
     }
     bfd_reloc_status_type;

    typedef struct reloc_cache_entry
    {
      /* A pointer into the canonical table of pointers.  */
      struct bfd_symbol **sym_ptr_ptr;

      /* offset in section.  */
      bfd_size_type address;

      /* addend for relocation value.  */
      bfd_vma addend;

      /* Pointer to how to perform the required relocation.  */
      reloc_howto_type *howto;

    }
    arelent;

Description
Here is a description of each of the fields within an `arelent`:

- `sym_ptr_ptr`

The symbol table pointer points to a pointer to the symbol associated with the relocation request. It is the pointer into the table returned by the back end’s `canonicalize_symtab` action. See Symbols. The symbol is referenced through a pointer to a pointer so that tools like the linker can fix up all the symbols of the same name by modifying only one pointer. The relocation routine looks in the symbol and uses the base of the section the symbol is attached to and the value of the symbol as the initial relocation offset. If the symbol pointer is zero, then the section provided is looked up.

- `address`

The `address` field gives the offset in bytes from the base of the section data which owns the relocation record to the first byte of relocatable information. The actual data relocated will be relative to this point; for example, a relocation type which modifies the bottom two bytes of a four byte word would not touch the first byte pointed to in a big endian world.

- `addend`

The `addend` is a value provided by the back end to be added (!) to the relocation offset. Its interpretation is dependent upon the howto. For example, on the 68k the code:

            char foo[];
            main()
                    {
                    return foo[0x12345678];
                    }

Could be compiled into:

            linkw fp,#-4
            moveb @#12345678,d0
            extbl d0
            unlk fp
            rts

This could create a reloc pointing to `foo`, but leave the offset in the data, something like:

    RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
    offset   type      value
    00000006 32        _foo

    00000000 4e56 fffc          ; linkw fp,#-4
    00000004 1039 1234 5678     ; moveb @#12345678,d0
    0000000a 49c0               ; extbl d0
    0000000c 4e5e               ; unlk fp
    0000000e 4e75               ; rts

Using coff and an 88k, some instructions don’t have enough space in them to represent the full address range, and pointers have to be loaded in two parts. So you’d get something like:

            or.u     r13,r0,hi16(_foo+0x12345678)
            ld.b     r2,r13,lo16(_foo+0x12345678)
            jmp      r1

This should create two relocs, both pointing to `_foo`, and with 0x12340000 in their addend field. The data would consist of:

    RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
    offset   type      value
    00000002 HVRT16    _foo+0x12340000
    00000006 LVRT16    _foo+0x12340000

    00000000 5da05678           ; or.u r13,r0,0x5678
    00000004 1c4d5678           ; ld.b r2,r13,0x5678
    00000008 f400c001           ; jmp r1

The relocation routine digs out the value from the data, adds it to the addend to get the original offset, and then adds the value of `_foo`. Note that all 32 bits have to be kept around somewhere, to cope with carry from bit 15 to bit 16.

One further example is the sparc and the a.out format. The sparc has a similar problem to the 88k, in that some instructions don’t have room for an entire offset, but on the sparc the parts are created in odd sized lumps. The designers of the a.out format chose to not use the data within the section for storing part of the offset; all the offset is kept within the reloc. Anything in the data should be ignored.

            save %sp,-112,%sp
            sethi %hi(_foo+0x12345678),%g2
            ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0x12345678)],%i0
            ret
            restore

Both relocs contain a pointer to `foo`, and the offsets contain junk.

    RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
    offset   type      value
    00000004 HI22      _foo+0x12345678
    00000008 LO10      _foo+0x12345678

    00000000 9de3bf90     ; save %sp,-112,%sp
    00000004 05000000     ; sethi %hi(_foo+0),%g2
    00000008 f048a000     ; ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0)],%i0
    0000000c 81c7e008     ; ret
    00000010 81e80000     ; restore

- `howto`

The `howto` field can be imagined as a relocation instruction. It is a pointer to a structure which contains information on what to do with all of the other information in the reloc record and data section. A back end would normally have a relocation instruction set and turn relocations into pointers to the correct structure on input - but it would be possible to create each howto field on demand.

#### 2.10.1.1 `enum complain_overflow`

Indicates what sort of overflow checking should be done when performing a relocation.

    enum complain_overflow
    {
      /* Do not complain on overflow.  */
      complain_overflow_dont,

      /* Complain if the value overflows when considered as a signed
         number one bit larger than the field.  ie. A bitfield of N bits
         is allowed to represent -2**n to 2**n-1.  */
      complain_overflow_bitfield,

      /* Complain if the value overflows when considered as a signed
         number.  */
      complain_overflow_signed,

      /* Complain if the value overflows when considered as an
         unsigned number.  */
      complain_overflow_unsigned
    };

#### 2.10.1.2 `reloc_howto_type`

The `reloc_howto_type` is a structure which contains all the information that libbfd needs to know to tie up a back end’s data.

    struct bfd_symbol;             /* Forward declaration.  */

    struct reloc_howto_struct
    {
      /*  The type field has mainly a documentary use - the back end can
          do what it wants with it, though normally the back end's
          external idea of what a reloc number is stored
          in this field.  For example, a PC relative word relocation
          in a coff environment has the type 023 - because that's
          what the outside world calls a R_PCRWORD reloc.  */
      unsigned int type;

      /*  The value the final relocation is shifted right by.  This drops
          unwanted data from the relocation.  */
      unsigned int rightshift;

      /*  The size of the item to be relocated.  This is *not* a
          power-of-two measure.  To get the number of bytes operated
          on by a type of relocation, use bfd_get_reloc_size.  */
      int size;

      /*  The number of bits in the item to be relocated.  This is used
          when doing overflow checking.  */
      unsigned int bitsize;

      /*  The relocation is relative to the field being relocated.  */
      bfd_boolean pc_relative;

      /*  The bit position of the reloc value in the destination.
          The relocated value is left shifted by this amount.  */
      unsigned int bitpos;

      /* What type of overflow error should be checked for when
         relocating.  */
      enum complain_overflow complain_on_overflow;

      /* If this field is non null, then the supplied function is
         called rather than the normal function.  This allows really
         strange relocation methods to be accommodated.  */
      bfd_reloc_status_type (*special_function)
        (bfd *, arelent *, struct bfd_symbol *, void *, asection *,
         bfd *, char **);

      /* The textual name of the relocation type.  */
      char *name;

      /* Some formats record a relocation addend in the section contents
         rather than with the relocation.  For ELF formats this is the
         distinction between USE_REL and USE_RELA (though the code checks
         for USE_REL == 1/0).  The value of this field is TRUE if the
         addend is recorded with the section contents; when performing a
         partial link (ld -r) the section contents (the data) will be
         modified.  The value of this field is FALSE if addends are
         recorded with the relocation (in arelent.addend); when performing
         a partial link the relocation will be modified.
         All relocations for all ELF USE_RELA targets should set this field
         to FALSE (values of TRUE should be looked on with suspicion).
         However, the converse is not true: not all relocations of all ELF
         USE_REL targets set this field to TRUE.  Why this is so is peculiar
         to each particular target.  For relocs that aren't used in partial
         links (e.g. GOT stuff) it doesn't matter what this is set to.  */
      bfd_boolean partial_inplace;

      /* src_mask selects the part of the instruction (or data) to be used
         in the relocation sum.  If the target relocations don't have an
         addend in the reloc, eg. ELF USE_REL, src_mask will normally equal
         dst_mask to extract the addend from the section contents.  If
         relocations do have an addend in the reloc, eg. ELF USE_RELA, this
         field should be zero.  Non-zero values for ELF USE_RELA targets are
         bogus as in those cases the value in the dst_mask part of the
         section contents should be treated as garbage.  */
      bfd_vma src_mask;

      /* dst_mask selects which parts of the instruction (or data) are
         replaced with a relocated value.  */
      bfd_vma dst_mask;

      /* When some formats create PC relative instructions, they leave
         the value of the pc of the place being relocated in the offset
         slot of the instruction, so that a PC relative relocation can
         be made just by adding in an ordinary offset (e.g., sun3 a.out).
         Some formats leave the displacement part of an instruction
         empty (e.g., ELF); this flag signals the fact.  */
      bfd_boolean pcrel_offset;
    };

#### 2.10.1.3 `The HOWTO Macro`

Description
The HOWTO define is horrible and will go away.

    #define HOWTO(C, R, S, B, P, BI, O, SF, NAME, INPLACE, MASKSRC, MASKDST, PC) \
      { (unsigned) C, R, S, B, P, BI, O, SF, NAME, INPLACE, MASKSRC, MASKDST, PC }

Description
And will be replaced with the totally magic way. But for the moment, we are compatible, so do it this way.

    #define NEWHOWTO(FUNCTION, NAME, SIZE, REL, IN) \
      HOWTO (0, 0, SIZE, 0, REL, 0, complain_overflow_dont, FUNCTION, \
             NAME, FALSE, 0, 0, IN)

Description
This is used to fill in an empty howto entry in an array.

    #define EMPTY_HOWTO(C) \
      HOWTO ((C), 0, 0, 0, FALSE, 0, complain_overflow_dont, NULL, \
             NULL, FALSE, 0, 0, FALSE)

Description
Helper routine to turn a symbol into a relocation value.

    #define HOWTO_PREPARE(relocation, symbol)              \
      {                                                    \
        if (symbol != NULL)                                \
          {                                                \
            if (bfd_is_com_section (symbol->section))      \
              {                                            \
                relocation = 0;                            \
              }                                            \
            else                                           \
              {                                            \
                relocation = symbol->value;                \
              }                                            \
          }                                                \
      }

#### 2.10.1.4 `bfd_get_reloc_size`

Synopsis

    unsigned int bfd_get_reloc_size (reloc_howto_type *);

Description
For a reloc_howto_type that operates on a fixed number of bytes, this returns the number of bytes operated on.

#### 2.10.1.5 `arelent_chain`

Description
How relocs are tied together in an `asection`:

    typedef struct relent_chain
    {
      arelent relent;
      struct relent_chain *next;
    }
    arelent_chain;

#### 2.10.1.6 `bfd_check_overflow`

Synopsis

    bfd_reloc_status_type bfd_check_overflow
       (enum complain_overflow how,
        unsigned int bitsize,
        unsigned int rightshift,
        unsigned int addrsize,
        bfd_vma relocation);

Description
Perform overflow checking on relocation which has bitsize significant bits and will be shifted right by rightshift bits, on a machine with addresses containing addrsize significant bits. The result is either of `bfd_reloc_ok` or `bfd_reloc_overflow`.

#### 2.10.1.7 `bfd_reloc_offset_in_range`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_reloc_offset_in_range
       (reloc_howto_type *howto,
        bfd *abfd,
        asection *section,
        bfd_size_type offset);

Description
Returns TRUE if the reloc described by HOWTO can be applied at OFFSET octets in SECTION.

#### 2.10.1.8 `bfd_perform_relocation`

Synopsis

    bfd_reloc_status_type bfd_perform_relocation
       (bfd *abfd,
        arelent *reloc_entry,
        void *data,
        asection *input_section,
        bfd *output_bfd,
        char **error_message);

Description
If output_bfd is supplied to this function, the generated image will be relocatable; the relocations are copied to the output file after they have been changed to reflect the new state of the world. There are two ways of reflecting the results of partial linkage in an output file: by modifying the output data in place, and by modifying the relocation record. Some native formats (e.g., basic a.out and basic coff) have no way of specifying an addend in the relocation type, so the addend has to go in the output data. This is no big deal since in these formats the output data slot will always be big enough for the addend. Complex reloc types with addends were invented to solve just this problem. The error_message argument is set to an error message if this return `bfd_reloc_dangerous`.

#### 2.10.1.9 `bfd_install_relocation`

Synopsis

    bfd_reloc_status_type bfd_install_relocation
       (bfd *abfd,
        arelent *reloc_entry,
        void *data, bfd_vma data_start,
        asection *input_section,
        char **error_message);

Description
This looks remarkably like `bfd_perform_relocation`, except it does not expect that the section contents have been filled in. I.e., it’s suitable for use when creating, rather than applying a relocation.

For now, this function should be considered reserved for the assembler.

#### 2.10.2 The howto manager

When an application wants to create a relocation, but doesn’t know what the target machine might call it, it can find out by using this bit of code.

#### 2.10.2.1 `bfd_reloc_code_type`

Description
The insides of a reloc code. The idea is that, eventually, there will be one enumerator for every type of relocation we ever do. Pass one of these values to `bfd_reloc_type_lookup`, and it’ll return a howto pointer.

This does mean that the application must determine the correct enumerator value; you can’t get a howto pointer from a random set of attributes.

Here are the possible values for `enum bfd_reloc_code_real`:

: BFD_RELOC_64
: BFD_RELOC_32
: BFD_RELOC_26
: BFD_RELOC_24
: BFD_RELOC_16
: BFD_RELOC_14

: BFD_RELOC_24_PCREL
: BFD_RELOC_16_PCREL
: BFD_RELOC_12_PCREL
: BFD_RELOC_8_PCREL

  PC-relative relocations. Sometimes these are relative to the address of the relocation itself; sometimes they are relative to the start of the section containing the relocation. It depends on the specific target.

: BFD_RELOC_32_SECREL

  Section relative relocations. Some targets need this for DWARF2.

: BFD_RELOC_32_PCREL_S2
: BFD_RELOC_16_PCREL_S2
: BFD_RELOC_23_PCREL_S2

  These PC-relative relocations are stored as word displacements – i.e., byte displacements shifted right two bits. The 30-bit word displacement (<<32_PCREL_S2>> – 32 bits, shifted 2) is used on the SPARC. (SPARC tools generally refer to this as <<WDISP30>>.) The signed 16-bit displacement is used on the MIPS, and the 23-bit displacement is used on the Alpha.

: BFD_RELOC_HI22
: BFD_RELOC_LO10

  High 22 bits and low 10 bits of 32-bit value, placed into lower bits of the target word. These are used on the SPARC.

: BFD_RELOC_GPREL16
: BFD_RELOC_GPREL32

  For systems that allocate a Global Pointer register, these are displacements off that register. These relocation types are handled specially, because the value the register will have is decided relatively late.

  SPU Relocations.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPDISP_HI16

  Alpha ECOFF and ELF relocations. Some of these treat the symbol or "addend" in some special way. For GPDISP_HI16 ("gpdisp") relocations, the symbol is ignored when writing; when reading, it will be the absolute section symbol. The addend is the displacement in bytes of the "lda" instruction from the "ldah" instruction (which is at the address of this reloc).

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPDISP_LO16

  For GPDISP_LO16 ("ignore") relocations, the symbol is handled as with GPDISP_HI16 relocs. The addend is ignored when writing the relocations out, and is filled in with the file’s GP value on reading, for convenience.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPDISP

  The ELF GPDISP relocation is exactly the same as the GPDISP_HI16 relocation except that there is no accompanying GPDISP_LO16 relocation.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_LITERAL
: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_ELF_LITERAL
: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_LITUSE

  The Alpha LITERAL/LITUSE relocs are produced by a symbol reference; the assembler turns it into a LDQ instruction to load the address of the symbol, and then fills in a register in the real instruction.

  The LITERAL reloc, at the LDQ instruction, refers to the .lita section symbol. The addend is ignored when writing, but is filled in with the file’s GP value on reading, for convenience, as with the GPDISP_LO16 reloc.

  The ELF_LITERAL reloc is somewhere between 16_GOTOFF and GPDISP_LO16. It should refer to the symbol to be referenced, as with 16_GOTOFF, but it generates output not based on the position within the .got section, but relative to the GP value chosen for the file during the final link stage.

  The LITUSE reloc, on the instruction using the loaded address, gives information to the linker that it might be able to use to optimize away some literal section references. The symbol is ignored (read as the absolute section symbol), and the "addend" indicates the type of instruction using the register: 1 - "memory" fmt insn 2 - byte-manipulation (byte offset reg) 3 - jsr (target of branch)

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_HINT

  The HINT relocation indicates a value that should be filled into the "hint" field of a jmp/jsr/ret instruction, for possible branch- prediction logic which may be provided on some processors.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_LINKAGE

  The LINKAGE relocation outputs a linkage pair in the object file, which is filled by the linker.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_CODEADDR

  The CODEADDR relocation outputs a STO_CA in the object file, which is filled by the linker.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPREL_HI16
: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPREL_LO16

  The GPREL_HI/LO relocations together form a 32-bit offset from the GP register.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_BRSGP

  Like BFD_RELOC_23_PCREL_S2, except that the source and target must share a common GP, and the target address is adjusted for STO_ALPHA_STD_GPLOAD.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_NOP

  The NOP relocation outputs a NOP if the longword displacement between two procedure entry points is < 2^21.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_BSR

  The BSR relocation outputs a BSR if the longword displacement between two procedure entry points is < 2^21.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_LDA

  The LDA relocation outputs a LDA if the longword displacement between two procedure entry points is < 2^16.

: BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_BOH

  The BOH relocation outputs a BSR if the longword displacement between two procedure entry points is < 2^21, or else a hint.

  PowerPC and PowerPC64 thread-local storage relocations.

: BFD_RELOC_I370_D12

  IBM 370/390 relocations

: BFD_RELOC_CTOR

  The type of reloc used to build a constructor table - at the moment probably a 32 bit wide absolute relocation, but the target can choose. It generally does map to one of the other relocation types.

: BFD_RELOC_ARM_PCREL_BRANCH

  ARM 26 bit pc-relative branch. The lowest two bits must be zero and are not stored in the instruction.

: BFD_RELOC_ARM_PCREL_BLX

  ARM 26 bit pc-relative branch. The lowest bit must be zero and is not stored in the instruction. The 2nd lowest bit comes from a 1 bit field in the instruction.

: BFD_RELOC_THUMB_PCREL_BLX

  Thumb 22 bit pc-relative branch. The lowest bit must be zero and is not stored in the instruction. The 2nd lowest bit comes from a 1 bit field in the instruction.

: BFD_RELOC_ARM_PCREL_CALL

  ARM 26-bit pc-relative branch for an unconditional BL or BLX instruction.

: BFD_RELOC_ARM_PCREL_JUMP

: BFD_RELOC_THUMB_PCREL_BRANCH25

  Thumb 7-, 9-, 12-, 20-, 23-, and 25-bit pc-relative branches. The lowest bit must be zero and is not stored in the instruction. Note that the corresponding ELF R_ARM_THM_JUMPnn constant has an "nn" one smaller in all cases. Note further that BRANCH23 corresponds to R_ARM_THM_CALL.

: BFD_RELOC_ARM_OFFSET_IMM

  12-bit immediate offset, used in ARM-format ldr and str instructions.

: BFD_RELOC_ARM_THUMB_OFFSET

: BFD_RELOC_VTABLE_INHERIT
: BFD_RELOC_VTABLE_ENTRY

  These two relocations are used by the linker to determine which of the entries in a C++ virtual function table are actually used. When the –gc-sections option is given, the linker will zero out the entries that are not used, so that the code for those functions need not be included in the output.

  VTABLE_INHERIT is a zero-space relocation used to describe to the linker the inheritance tree of a C++ virtual function table. The relocation’s symbol should be the parent class’ vtable, and the relocation should be located at the child vtable.

  VTABLE_ENTRY is a zero-space relocation that describes the use of a virtual function table entry. The reloc’s symbol should refer to the table of the class mentioned in the code. Off of that base, an offset describes the entry that is being used. For Rela hosts, this offset is stored in the reloc’s addend. For Rel hosts, we are forced to put this offset in the reloc’s section offset.

### 2.12 Targets

Description
Each port of BFD to a different machine requires the creation of a target back end. All the back end provides to the root part of BFD is a structure containing pointers to functions which perform certain low level operations on files. BFD translates the applications’s requests through a pointer into calls to the back end routines.

When a file is opened with `bfd_openr`, its format and target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine how to interpret the file. The operations performed are:

- Create a BFD by calling the internal routine `_bfd_new_bfd`, then call `bfd_find_target` with the target string supplied to `bfd_openr` and the new BFD pointer.
- If a null target string was provided to `bfd_find_target`, look up the environment variable `GNUTARGET` and use that as the target string.
- If the target string is still `NULL`, or the target string is `default`, then use the first item in the target vector as the target type, and set `target_defaulted` in the BFD to cause `bfd_check_format` to loop through all the targets. See bfd_target. See Formats.
- Otherwise, inspect the elements in the target vector one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found, use it.
- Otherwise return the error `bfd_error_invalid_target` to `bfd_openr`.
- `bfd_openr` attempts to open the file using `bfd_open_file`, and returns the BFD.

Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file format may be determined. This is done by calling `bfd_check_format` on the BFD with a suggested format. If `target_defaulted` has been set, each possible target type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format. `bfd_check_format` returns `TRUE` when the caller guesses right.

#### 2.12.1 bfd_target

Description
This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a target. It includes things like its byte order, name, and which routines to call to do various operations.

Every BFD points to a target structure with its `xvec` member.

The macros below are used to dispatch to functions through the `bfd_target` vector. They are used in a number of macros further down in `bfd.h`, and are also used when calling various routines by hand inside the BFD implementation. The arglist argument must be parenthesized; it contains all the arguments to the called function.

They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if someone wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.

    #define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
      ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)

    #ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
    #undef BFD_SEND
    #define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
      (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \
        ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist) : \
        (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
    #endif

For operations which index on the BFD format:

    #define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
      (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist)

    #ifdef DEBUG_BFD_SEND
    #undef BFD_SEND_FMT
    #define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
      (((bfd) && (bfd)->xvec && (bfd)->xvec->message) ? \
       (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int) ((bfd)->format)]) arglist) : \
       (bfd_assert (__FILE__,__LINE__), NULL))
    #endif

This is the structure which defines the type of BFD this is. The `xvec` member of the struct `bfd` itself points here. Each module that implements access to a different target under BFD, defines one of these.

FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of the entry points which call them. Too bad we can’t have one macro to define them both!

#### 2.12.1.1 `bfd_set_default_target`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_set_default_target (const char *name);

Description
Set the default target vector to use when recognizing a BFD. This takes the name of the target, which may be a BFD target name or a configuration triplet.

#### 2.12.1.2 `bfd_find_target`

Synopsis

    const bfd_target *bfd_find_target (const char *target_name, bfd *abfd);

Description
Return a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target named target_name. If target_name is `NULL`, choose the one in the environment variable `GNUTARGET`; if that is null or not defined, then choose the first entry in the target list. Passing in the string "default" or setting the environment variable to "default" will cause the first entry in the target list to be returned, and "target_defaulted" will be set in the BFD if abfd isn’t `NULL`. This causes `bfd_check_format` to loop over all the targets to find the one that matches the file being read.

#### 2.12.1.3 `bfd_get_target_info`

Synopsis

    const bfd_target *bfd_get_target_info (const char *target_name,
        bfd *abfd,
        bfd_boolean *is_bigendian,
        int *underscoring,
        const char **def_target_arch);

Description
Return a pointer to the transfer vector for the object target named target_name. If target_name is `NULL`, choose the one in the environment variable `GNUTARGET`; if that is null or not defined, then choose the first entry in the target list. Passing in the string "default" or setting the environment variable to "default" will cause the first entry in the target list to be returned, and "target_defaulted" will be set in the BFD if abfd isn’t `NULL`. This causes `bfd_check_format` to loop over all the targets to find the one that matches the file being read. If is_bigendian is not `NULL`, then set this value to target’s endian mode. True for big-endian, FALSE for little-endian or for invalid target. If underscoring is not `NULL`, then set this value to target’s underscoring mode. Zero for none-underscoring, -1 for invalid target, else the value of target vector’s symbol underscoring. If def_target_arch is not `NULL`, then set it to the architecture string specified by the target_name.

#### 2.12.1.4 `bfd_target_list`

Synopsis

    const char ** bfd_target_list (void);

Description
Return a freshly malloced NULL-terminated vector of the names of all the valid BFD targets. Do not modify the names.

#### 2.12.1.5 `bfd_iterate_over_targets`

Synopsis

    const bfd_target *bfd_iterate_over_targets
       (int (*func) (const bfd_target *, void *),
        void *data);

Description
Call func for each target in the list of BFD target vectors, passing data to func. Stop iterating if func returns a non-zero result, and return that target vector. Return NULL if func always returns zero.

#### 2.12.1.6 `bfd_flavour_name`

Synopsis

    const char *bfd_flavour_name (enum bfd_flavour flavour);

Description
Return the string form of flavour.

### 2.13 Architectures

BFD keeps one atom in a BFD describing the architecture of the data attached to the BFD: a pointer to a `bfd_arch_info_type`.

Pointers to structures can be requested independently of a BFD so that an architecture’s information can be interrogated without access to an open BFD.

The architecture information is provided by each architecture package. The set of default architectures is selected by the macro `SELECT_ARCHITECTURES`. This is normally set up in the `config/target.mt` file of your choice. If the name is not defined, then all the architectures supported are included.

When BFD starts up, all the architectures are called with an initialize method. It is up to the architecture back end to insert as many items into the list of architectures as it wants to; generally this would be one for each machine and one for the default case (an item with a machine field of 0).

BFD’s idea of an architecture is implemented in `archures.c`.

#### 2.13.1 bfd_architecture

Description
This enum gives the object file’s CPU architecture, in a global sense—i.e., what processor family does it belong to? Another field indicates which processor within the family is in use. The machine gives a number which distinguishes different versions of the architecture, containing, for example, 68020 for Motorola 68020.

### 2.14 Opening and closing BFDs

#### 2.14.1 Functions for opening and closing

#### 2.14.1.1 `bfd_fopen`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_fopen (const char *filename, const char *target,
        const char *mode, int fd);

Description
Open the file filename with the target target. Return a pointer to the created BFD. If fd is not -1, then `fdopen` is used to open the file; otherwise, `fopen` is used. mode is passed directly to `fopen` or `fdopen`.

Calls `bfd_find_target`, so target is interpreted as by that function.

The new BFD is marked as cacheable iff fd is -1.

If `NULL` is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors are `bfd_error_no_memory`, `bfd_error_invalid_target` or `system_call` error.

On error, fd is always closed.

A copy of the filename argument is stored in the newly created BFD. It can be accessed via the bfd_get_filename() macro.

#### 2.14.1.2 `bfd_openr`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_openr (const char *filename, const char *target);

Description
Open the file filename (using `fopen`) with the target target. Return a pointer to the created BFD.

Calls `bfd_find_target`, so target is interpreted as by that function.

If `NULL` is returned then an error has occured. Possible errors are `bfd_error_no_memory`, `bfd_error_invalid_target` or `system_call` error.

A copy of the filename argument is stored in the newly created BFD. It can be accessed via the bfd_get_filename() macro.

#### 2.14.1.3 `bfd_fdopenr`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_fdopenr (const char *filename, const char *target, int fd);

Description
`bfd_fdopenr` is to `bfd_fopenr` much like `fdopen` is to `fopen`. It opens a BFD on a file already described by the fd supplied.

When the file is later `bfd_close`d, the file descriptor will be closed. If the caller desires that this file descriptor be cached by BFD (opened as needed, closed as needed to free descriptors for other opens), with the supplied fd used as an initial file descriptor (but subject to closure at any time), call bfd_set_cacheable(bfd, 1) on the returned BFD. The default is to assume no caching; the file descriptor will remain open until `bfd_close`, and will not be affected by BFD operations on other files.

Possible errors are `bfd_error_no_memory`, `bfd_error_invalid_target` and `bfd_error_system_call`.

On error, fd is closed.

A copy of the filename argument is stored in the newly created BFD. It can be accessed via the bfd_get_filename() macro.

#### 2.14.1.4 `bfd_openstreamr`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_openstreamr (const char * filename, const char * target,
        void * stream);

Description
Open a BFD for read access on an existing stdio stream. When the BFD is passed to `bfd_close`, the stream will be closed.

A copy of the filename argument is stored in the newly created BFD. It can be accessed via the bfd_get_filename() macro.

#### 2.14.1.5 `bfd_openr_iovec`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_openr_iovec (const char *filename, const char *target,
        void *(*open_func) (struct bfd *nbfd,
        void *open_closure),
        void *open_closure,
        file_ptr (*pread_func) (struct bfd *nbfd,
        void *stream,
        void *buf,
        file_ptr nbytes,
        file_ptr offset),
        int (*close_func) (struct bfd *nbfd,
        void *stream),
        int (*stat_func) (struct bfd *abfd,
        void *stream,
        struct stat *sb));

Description
Create and return a BFD backed by a read-only stream. The stream is created using open_func, accessed using pread_func and destroyed using close_func.

Calls `bfd_find_target`, so target is interpreted as by that function.

Calls open_func (which can call `bfd_zalloc` and `bfd_get_filename`) to obtain the read-only stream backing the BFD. open_func either succeeds returning the non-`NULL` stream, or fails returning `NULL` (setting `bfd_error`).

Calls pread_func to request nbytes of data from stream starting at offset (e.g., via a call to `bfd_read`). pread_func either succeeds returning the number of bytes read (which can be less than nbytes when end-of-file), or fails returning -1 (setting `bfd_error`).

Calls close_func when the BFD is later closed using `bfd_close`. close_func either succeeds returning 0, or fails returning -1 (setting `bfd_error`).

Calls stat_func to fill in a stat structure for bfd_stat, bfd_get_size, and bfd_get_mtime calls. stat_func returns 0 on success, or returns -1 on failure (setting `bfd_error`).

If `bfd_openr_iovec` returns `NULL` then an error has occurred. Possible errors are `bfd_error_no_memory`, `bfd_error_invalid_target` and `bfd_error_system_call`.

A copy of the filename argument is stored in the newly created BFD. It can be accessed via the bfd_get_filename() macro.

#### 2.14.1.6 `bfd_openw`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_openw (const char *filename, const char *target);

Description
Create a BFD, associated with file filename, using the file format target, and return a pointer to it.

Possible errors are `bfd_error_system_call`, `bfd_error_no_memory`, `bfd_error_invalid_target`.

A copy of the filename argument is stored in the newly created BFD. It can be accessed via the bfd_get_filename() macro.

#### 2.14.1.7 `bfd_close`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_close (bfd *abfd);

Description
Close a BFD. If the BFD was open for writing, then pending operations are completed and the file written out and closed. If the created file is executable, then `chmod` is called to mark it as such.

All memory attached to the BFD is released.

The file descriptor associated with the BFD is closed (even if it was passed in to BFD by `bfd_fdopenr`).

Returns
`TRUE` is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE`.

#### 2.14.1.8 `bfd_close_all_done`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_close_all_done (bfd *);

Description
Close a BFD. Differs from `bfd_close` since it does not complete any pending operations. This routine would be used if the application had just used BFD for swapping and didn’t want to use any of the writing code.

If the created file is executable, then `chmod` is called to mark it as such.

All memory attached to the BFD is released.

Returns
`TRUE` is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE`.

#### 2.14.1.9 `bfd_create`

Synopsis

    bfd *bfd_create (const char *filename, bfd *templ);

Description
Create a new BFD in the manner of `bfd_openw`, but without opening a file. The new BFD takes the target from the target used by templ. The format is always set to `bfd_object`.

A copy of the filename argument is stored in the newly created BFD. It can be accessed via the bfd_get_filename() macro.

#### 2.14.1.10 `bfd_make_writable`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_make_writable (bfd *abfd);

Description
Takes a BFD as created by `bfd_create` and converts it into one like as returned by `bfd_openw`. It does this by converting the BFD to BFD_IN_MEMORY. It’s assumed that you will call `bfd_make_readable` on this bfd later.

Returns
`TRUE` is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE`.

#### 2.14.1.11 `bfd_make_readable`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_make_readable (bfd *abfd);

Description
Takes a BFD as created by `bfd_create` and `bfd_make_writable` and converts it into one like as returned by `bfd_openr`. It does this by writing the contents out to the memory buffer, then reversing the direction.

Returns
`TRUE` is returned if all is ok, otherwise `FALSE`.

#### 2.14.1.12 `bfd_alloc`

Synopsis

    void *bfd_alloc (bfd *abfd, bfd_size_type wanted);

#### 2.14.1.14 `bfd_zalloc`

Synopsis

    void *bfd_zalloc (bfd *abfd, bfd_size_type wanted);

Description
Allocate a block of wanted bytes of zeroed memory attached to `abfd` and return a pointer to it.

#### 2.14.1.15 `bfd_zalloc2`

Synopsis

    void *bfd_zalloc2 (bfd *abfd, bfd_size_type nmemb, bfd_size_type size);

Description

       (unsigned long crc, const unsigned char *buf, bfd_size_type len);

Description
Computes a CRC value as used in the .gnu_debuglink section. Advances the previously computed crc value by computing and adding in the crc32 for len bytes of buf.

Returns
Return the updated CRC32 value.

#### 2.14.1.17 `bfd_get_debug_link_info_1`

Synopsis

    char *bfd_get_debug_link_info_1 (bfd *abfd, void *crc32_out);

Description
Extracts the filename and CRC32 value for any separate debug information file associated with abfd.

The crc32_out parameter is an untyped pointer because this routine is used as a `get_func_type` function, but it is expected to be an unsigned long pointer.

Returns
The filename of the associated debug information file, or NULL if there is no such file. If the filename was found then the contents of crc32_out are updated to hold the corresponding CRC32 value for the file.

The returned filename is allocated with `malloc`; freeing it is the responsibility of the caller.

#### 2.14.1.18 `bfd_get_debug_link_info`

Synopsis

    char *bfd_get_debug_link_info (bfd *abfd, unsigned long *crc32_out);

Description
Extracts the filename and CRC32 value for any separate debug information file associated with abfd.

Returns
The filename of the associated debug information file, or NULL if there is no such file. If the filename was found then the contents of crc32_out are updated to hold the corresponding CRC32 value for the file.

The returned filename is allocated with `malloc`; freeing it is the responsibility of the caller.

#### 2.14.1.19 `bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info`

Synopsis

    char *bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info (bfd * abfd,
        bfd_size_type *buildid_len,
        bfd_byte **buildid_out);

Description
Fetch the filename and BuildID value for any alternate debuginfo associated with abfd. Return NULL if no such info found, otherwise return filename and update buildid_len and buildid_out. The returned filename and build_id are allocated with `malloc`; freeing them is the responsibility of the caller.

#### 2.14.1.20 `separate_debug_file_exists`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean separate_debug_file_exists
       (char *name, void *crc32_p);

Description
Checks to see if name is a file and if its contents match crc32, which is a pointer to an `unsigned long` containing a CRC32.

The crc32_p parameter is an untyped pointer because this routine is used as a `check_func_type` function.

#### 2.14.1.21 `separate_alt_debug_file_exists`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean separate_alt_debug_file_exists
       (char *name, void *unused);

Description
Checks to see if name is a file.

#### 2.14.1.22 `find_separate_debug_file`

Synopsis

       (bfd *abfd, const char *dir, bfd_boolean include_dirs,
        get_func_type get, check_func_type check, void *data);

Description
Searches for a debug information file corresponding to abfd.

The name of the separate debug info file is returned by the get function. This function scans various fixed locations in the filesystem, including the file tree rooted at dir. If the include_dirs parameter is true then the directory components of abfd’s filename will be included in the searched locations.

data is passed unmodified to the get and check functions. It is generally used to implement build-id-like matching in the callback functions.

Returns
Returns the filename of the first file to be found which receives a TRUE result from the check function. Returns NULL if no valid file could be found.

#### 2.14.1.23 `bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink`

Synopsis

    char *bfd_follow_gnu_debuglink (bfd *abfd, const char *dir);

Description
Takes a BFD and searches it for a .gnu_debuglink section. If this section is found, it examines the section for the name and checksum of a ’.debug’ file containing auxiliary debugging information. It then searches the filesystem for this .debug file in some standard locations, including the directory tree rooted at dir, and if found returns the full filename.

If dir is NULL, the search will take place starting at the current directory.

Returns
`NULL` on any errors or failure to locate the .debug file, otherwise a pointer to a heap-allocated string containing the filename. The caller is responsible for freeing this string.

#### 2.14.1.24 `bfd_follow_gnu_debugaltlink`

Synopsis

    char *bfd_follow_gnu_debugaltlink (bfd *abfd, const char *dir);

Description
Takes a BFD and searches it for a .gnu_debugaltlink section. If this section is found, it examines the section for the name of a file containing auxiliary debugging information. It then searches the filesystem for this file in a set of standard locations, including the directory tree rooted at dir, and if found returns the full filename.

If dir is NULL, the search will take place starting at the current directory.

Returns
`NULL` on any errors or failure to locate the debug file, otherwise a pointer to a heap-allocated string containing the filename. The caller is responsible for freeing this string.

#### 2.14.1.25 `bfd_create_gnu_debuglink_section`

Synopsis

    struct bfd_section *bfd_create_gnu_debuglink_section
       (bfd *abfd, const char *filename);

Description
Takes a BFD and adds a .gnu_debuglink section to it. The section is sized to be big enough to contain a link to the specified filename.

Returns
A pointer to the new section is returned if all is ok. Otherwise `NULL` is returned and bfd_error is set.

#### 2.14.1.26 `bfd_fill_in_gnu_debuglink_section`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_fill_in_gnu_debuglink_section
       (bfd *abfd, struct bfd_section *sect, const char *filename);

Description
Takes a BFD and containing a .gnu_debuglink section SECT and fills in the contents of the section to contain a link to the specified filename. The filename should be relative to the current directory.

Returns
`TRUE` is returned if all is ok. Otherwise `FALSE` is returned and bfd_error is set.

#### 2.14.1.27 `get_build_id`

Synopsis

    struct bfd_build_id * get_build_id (bfd *abfd);

Description
Finds the build-id associated with abfd. If the build-id is extracted from the note section then a build-id structure is built for it, using memory allocated to abfd, and this is then attached to the abfd.

Returns
Returns a pointer to the build-id structure if a build-id could be found. If no build-id is found NULL is returned and error code is set.

#### 2.14.1.28 `get_build_id_name`

Synopsis

    char * get_build_id_name (bfd *abfd, void *build_id_out_p)

Description
Searches abfd for a build-id, and then constructs a pathname from it. The path is computed as .build-id/NN/NN+NN.debug where NNNN+NN is the build-id value as a hexadecimal string.

Returns
Returns the constructed filename or NULL upon error. It is the caller’s responsibility to free the memory used to hold the filename. If a filename is returned then the build_id_out_p parameter (which points to a `struct bfd_build_id` pointer) is set to a pointer to the build_id structure.

#### 2.14.1.29 `check_build_id_file`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean check_build_id_file (char *name, void *buildid_p);

Description
Checks to see if name is a readable file and if its build-id matches buildid.

Returns
Returns TRUE if the file exists, is readable, and contains a build-id which matches the build-id pointed at by build_id_p (which is really a `struct bfd_build_id **`).

#### 2.14.1.30 `bfd_follow_build_id_debuglink`

Synopsis

    char *bfd_follow_build_id_debuglink (bfd *abfd, const char *dir);

Description
Takes abfd and searches it for a .note.gnu.build-id section. If this section is found, it extracts the value of the NT_GNU_BUILD_ID note, which should be a hexadecimal value NNNN+NN (for 32+ hex digits). It then searches the filesystem for a file named .build-id/NN/NN+NN.debug in a set of standard locations, including the directory tree rooted at dir. The filename of the first matching file to be found is returned. A matching file should contain a .note.gnu.build-id section with the same NNNN+NN note as abfd, although this check is currently not implemented.

If dir is NULL, the search will take place starting at the current directory.

Returns
`NULL` on any errors or failure to locate the debug file, otherwise a pointer to a heap-allocated string containing the filename. The caller is responsible for freeing this string.

### 2.15 Implementation details

#### 2.15.1 Internal functions

Description
These routines are used within BFD. They are not intended for export, but are documented here for completeness.

#### 2.15.1.1 `bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int (bfd *, unsigned int);

Description
Write a 4 byte integer i to the output BFD abfd, in big endian order regardless of what else is going on. This is useful in archives.

#### 2.15.1.2 `bfd_put_size`

#### 2.15.1.3 `bfd_get_size`

Description
These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in sections; each access (except for bytes) is vectored through the target format of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The mangling performs any necessary endian translations and removes alignment restrictions. Note that types accepted and returned by these macros are identical so they can be swapped around in macros—for example, `libaout.h` defines `GET_WORD` to either `bfd_get_32` or `bfd_get_64`.

In the put routines, val must be a `bfd_vma`. If we are on a system without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making sure that is true, with a cast if necessary. We don’t cast them in the macro definitions because that would prevent `lint` or `gcc -Wall` from detecting sins such as passing a pointer. To detect calling these with less than a `bfd_vma`, use `gcc -Wconversion` on a host with 64 bit `bfd_vma`’s.

### 2.16 File caching

The file caching mechanism is embedded within BFD and allows the application to open as many BFDs as it wants without regard to the underlying operating system’s file descriptor limit (often as low as 20 open files). The module in `cache.c` maintains a least recently used list of `bfd_cache_max_open` files, and exports the name `bfd_cache_lookup`, which runs around and makes sure that the required BFD is open. If not, then it chooses a file to close, closes it and opens the one wanted, returning its file handle.

#### 2.16.1 Caching functions

#### 2.16.1.1 `bfd_cache_init`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_cache_init (bfd *abfd);

Description

#### 2.16.1.2 `bfd_cache_close`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_cache_close (bfd *abfd);

Description
Remove the BFD abfd from the cache. If the attached file is open, then close it too.

Returns
`FALSE` is returned if closing the file fails, `TRUE` is returned if all is well.

#### 2.16.1.3 `bfd_cache_close_all`

Synopsis

    bfd_boolean bfd_cache_close_all (void);

Description
Remove all BFDs from the cache. If the attached file is open, then close it too.

Returns
`FALSE` is returned if closing one of the file fails, `TRUE` is returned if all is well.

#### 2.16.1.4 `bfd_open_file`

Synopsis

    FILE* bfd_open_file (bfd *abfd);

Description
Call the OS to open a file for abfd. Return the `FILE *` (possibly `NULL`) that results from this operation. Set up the BFD so that future accesses know the file is open. If the `FILE *` returned is `NULL`, then it won’t have been put in the cache, so it won’t have to be removed from it.

### 2.17 Linker Functions

The linker uses three special entry points in the BFD target vector. It is not necessary to write special routines for these entry points when creating a new BFD back end, since generic versions are provided. However, writing them can speed up linking and make it use significantly less runtime memory.

The first routine creates a hash table used by the other routines. The second routine adds the symbols from an object file to the hash table. The third routine takes all the object files and links them together to create the output file. These routines are designed so that the linker proper does not need to know anything about the symbols in the object files that it is linking. The linker merely arranges the sections as directed by the linker script and lets BFD handle the details of symbols and relocs.

The second routine and third routines are passed a pointer to a `struct bfd_link_info` structure (defined in `bfdlink.h`) which holds information relevant to the link, including the linker hash table (which was created by the first routine) and a set of callback functions to the linker proper.

The generic linker routines are in `linker.c`, and use the header file `genlink.h`. As of this writing, the only back ends which have implemented versions of these routines are a.out (in `aoutx.h`) and ECOFF (in `ecoff.c`). The a.out routines are used as examples throughout this section.

Next: Adding Symbols to the Hash Table, Previous: Linker Functions, Up: Linker Functions [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.1 Creating a linker hash table

The linker routines must create a hash table, which must be derived from `struct bfd_link_hash_table` described in `bfdlink.c`. See Hash Tables, for information on how to create a derived hash table. This entry point is called using the target vector of the linker output file.

The `_bfd_link_hash_table_create` entry point must allocate and initialize an instance of the desired hash table. If the back end does not require any additional information to be stored with the entries in the hash table, the entry point may simply create a `struct bfd_link_hash_table`. Most likely, however, some additional information will be needed.

For example, with each entry in the hash table the a.out linker keeps the index the symbol has in the final output file (this index number is used so that when doing a relocatable link the symbol index used in the output file can be quickly filled in when copying over a reloc). The a.out linker code defines the required structures and functions for a hash table derived from `struct bfd_link_hash_table`. The a.out linker hash table is created by the function `NAME(aout,link_hash_table_create)`; it simply allocates space for the hash table, initializes it, and returns a pointer to it.

When writing the linker routines for a new back end, you will generally not know exactly which fields will be required until you have finished. You should simply create a new hash table which defines no additional fields, and then simply add fields as they become necessary.

Next: Performing the Final Link, Previous: Creating a Linker Hash Table, Up: Linker Functions [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.2 Adding symbols to the hash table

The linker proper will call the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` entry point for each object file or archive which is to be linked (typically these are the files named on the command line, but some may also come from the linker script). The entry point is responsible for examining the file. For an object file, BFD must add any relevant symbol information to the hash table. For an archive, BFD must determine which elements of the archive should be used and adding them to the link.

The a.out version of this entry point is `NAME(aout,link_add_symbols)`.

Next: Adding symbols from an object file, Previous: Adding Symbols to the Hash Table, Up: Adding Symbols to the Hash Table [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.2.1 Differing file formats

Normally all the files involved in a link will be of the same format, but it is also possible to link together different format object files, and the back end must support that. The `_bfd_link_add_symbols` entry point is called via the target vector of the file to be added. This has an important consequence: the function may not assume that the hash table is the type created by the corresponding `_bfd_link_hash_table_create` vector. All the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` function can assume about the hash table is that it is derived from `struct bfd_link_hash_table`.

Sometimes the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` function must store some information in the hash table entry to be used by the `_bfd_final_link` function. In such a case the output bfd xvec must be checked to make sure that the hash table was created by an object file of the same format.

The `_bfd_final_link` routine must be prepared to handle a hash entry without any extra information added by the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` function. A hash entry without extra information will also occur when the linker script directs the linker to create a symbol. Note that, regardless of how a hash table entry is added, all the fields will be initialized to some sort of null value by the hash table entry initialization function.

See `ecoff_link_add_externals` for an example of how to check the output bfd before saving information (in this case, the ECOFF external symbol debugging information) in a hash table entry.

Next: Adding symbols from an archive, Previous: Differing file formats, Up: Adding Symbols to the Hash Table [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.2.2 Adding symbols from an object file

When the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` routine is passed an object file, it must add all externally visible symbols in that object file to the hash table. The actual work of adding the symbol to the hash table is normally handled by the function `_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol`. The `_bfd_link_add_symbols` routine is responsible for reading all the symbols from the object file and passing the correct information to `_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol`.

The `_bfd_link_add_symbols` routine should not use `bfd_canonicalize_symtab` to read the symbols. The point of providing this routine is to avoid the overhead of converting the symbols into generic `asymbol` structures.

`_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol` handles the details of combining common symbols, warning about multiple definitions, and so forth. It takes arguments which describe the symbol to add, notably symbol flags, a section, and an offset. The symbol flags include such things as `BSF_WEAK` or `BSF_INDIRECT`. The section is a section in the object file, or something like `bfd_und_section_ptr` for an undefined symbol or `bfd_com_section_ptr` for a common symbol.

If the `_bfd_final_link` routine is also going to need to read the symbol information, the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` routine should save it somewhere attached to the object file BFD. However, the information should only be saved if the `keep_memory` field of the `info` argument is TRUE, so that the `-no-keep-memory` linker switch is effective.

The a.out function which adds symbols from an object file is `aout_link_add_object_symbols`, and most of the interesting work is in `aout_link_add_symbols`. The latter saves pointers to the hash tables entries created by `_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol` indexed by symbol number, so that the `_bfd_final_link` routine does not have to call the hash table lookup routine to locate the entry.

Previous: Adding symbols from an object file, Up: Adding Symbols to the Hash Table [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.2.3 Adding symbols from an archive

When the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` routine is passed an archive, it must look through the symbols defined by the archive and decide which elements of the archive should be included in the link. For each such element it must call the `add_archive_element` linker callback, and it must add the symbols from the object file to the linker hash table. (The callback may in fact indicate that a replacement BFD should be used, in which case the symbols from that BFD should be added to the linker hash table instead.)

In most cases the work of looking through the symbols in the archive should be done by the `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols` function. `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols` is passed a function to call to make the final decision about adding an archive element to the link and to do the actual work of adding the symbols to the linker hash table. If the element is to be included, the `add_archive_element` linker callback routine must be called with the element as an argument, and the element’s symbols must be added to the linker hash table just as though the element had itself been passed to the `_bfd_link_add_symbols` function.

When the a.out `_bfd_link_add_symbols` function receives an archive, it calls `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols` passing `aout_link_check_archive_element` as the function argument. `aout_link_check_archive_element` calls `aout_link_check_ar_symbols`. If the latter decides to add the element (an element is only added if it provides a real, non-common, definition for a previously undefined or common symbol) it calls the `add_archive_element` callback and then `aout_link_check_archive_element` calls `aout_link_add_symbols` to actually add the symbols to the linker hash table - possibly those of a substitute BFD, if the `add_archive_element` callback avails itself of that option.

The ECOFF back end is unusual in that it does not normally call `_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols`, because ECOFF archives already contain a hash table of symbols. The ECOFF back end searches the archive itself to avoid the overhead of creating a new hash table.

Previous: Adding Symbols to the Hash Table, Up: Linker Functions [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.3 Performing the final link

When all the input files have been processed, the linker calls the `_bfd_final_link` entry point of the output BFD. This routine is responsible for producing the final output file, which has several aspects. It must relocate the contents of the input sections and copy the data into the output sections. It must build an output symbol table including any local symbols from the input files and the global symbols from the hash table. When producing relocatable output, it must modify the input relocs and write them into the output file. There may also be object format dependent work to be done.

The linker will also call the `write_object_contents` entry point when the BFD is closed. The two entry points must work together in order to produce the correct output file.

The details of how this works are inevitably dependent upon the specific object file format. The a.out `_bfd_final_link` routine is `NAME(aout,final_link)`.

Next: Relocating the section contents, Previous: Performing the Final Link, Up: Performing the Final Link [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.3.1 Information provided by the linker

Before the linker calls the `_bfd_final_link` entry point, it sets up some data structures for the function to use.

The `input_bfds` field of the `bfd_link_info` structure will point to a list of all the input files included in the link. These files are linked through the `link.next` field of the `bfd` structure.

Each section in the output file will have a list of `link_order` structures attached to the `map_head.link_order` field (the `link_order` structure is defined in `bfdlink.h`). These structures describe how to create the contents of the output section in terms of the contents of various input sections, fill constants, and, eventually, other types of information. They also describe relocs that must be created by the BFD backend, but do not correspond to any input file; this is used to support -Ur, which builds constructors while generating a relocatable object file.

Next: Writing the symbol table, Previous: Information provided by the linker, Up: Performing the Final Link [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.3.2 Relocating the section contents

The `_bfd_final_link` function should look through the `link_order` structures attached to each section of the output file. Each `link_order` structure should either be handled specially, or it should be passed to the function `_bfd_default_link_order` which will do the right thing (`_bfd_default_link_order` is defined in `linker.c`).

For efficiency, a `link_order` of type `bfd_indirect_link_order` whose associated section belongs to a BFD of the same format as the output BFD must be handled specially. This type of `link_order` describes part of an output section in terms of a section belonging to one of the input files. The `_bfd_final_link` function should read the contents of the section and any associated relocs, apply the relocs to the section contents, and write out the modified section contents. If performing a relocatable link, the relocs themselves must also be modified and written out.

The functions `_bfd_relocate_contents` and `_bfd_final_link_relocate` provide some general support for performing the actual relocations, notably overflow checking. Their arguments include information about the symbol the relocation is against and a `reloc_howto_type` argument which describes the relocation to perform. These functions are defined in `reloc.c`.

The a.out function which handles reading, relocating, and writing section contents is `aout_link_input_section`. The actual relocation is done in `aout_link_input_section_std` and `aout_link_input_section_ext`.

Previous: Relocating the section contents, Up: Performing the Final Link [Contents][Index]

#### 2.17.3.3 Writing the symbol table

The `_bfd_final_link` function must gather all the symbols in the input files and write them out. It must also write out all the symbols in the global hash table. This must be controlled by the `strip` and `discard` fields of the `bfd_link_info` structure.

The local symbols of the input files will not have been entered into the linker hash table. The `_bfd_final_link` routine must consider each input file and include the symbols in the output file. It may be convenient to do this when looking through the `link_order` structures, or it may be done by stepping through the `input_bfds` list.

The `_bfd_final_link` routine must also traverse the global hash table to gather all the externally visible symbols. It is possible that most of the externally visible symbols may be written out when considering the symbols of each input file, but it is still necessary to traverse the hash table since the linker script may have defined some symbols that are not in any of the input files.

The `strip` field of the `bfd_link_info` structure controls which symbols are written out. The possible values are listed in `bfdlink.h`. If the value is `strip_some`, then the `keep_hash` field of the `bfd_link_info` structure is a hash table of symbols to keep; each symbol should be looked up in this hash table, and only symbols which are present should be included in the output file.

If the `strip` field of the `bfd_link_info` structure permits local symbols to be written out, the `discard` field is used to further controls which local symbols are included in the output file. If the value is `discard_l`, then all local symbols which begin with a certain prefix are discarded; this is controlled by the `bfd_is_local_label_name` entry point.

The a.out backend handles symbols by calling `aout_link_write_symbols` on each input BFD and then traversing the global hash table with the function `aout_link_write_other_symbol`. It builds a string table while writing out the symbols, which is written to the output file at the end of `NAME(aout,final_link)`.

### 2.18 Hash Tables

BFD provides a simple set of hash table functions. Routines are provided to initialize a hash table, to free a hash table, to look up a string in a hash table and optionally create an entry for it, and to traverse a hash table. There is currently no routine to delete an string from a hash table.

The basic hash table does not permit any data to be stored with a string. However, a hash table is designed to present a base class from which other types of hash tables may be derived. These derived types may store additional information with the string. Hash tables were implemented in this way, rather than simply providing a data pointer in a hash table entry, because they were designed for use by the linker back ends. The linker may create thousands of hash table entries, and the overhead of allocating private data and storing and following pointers becomes noticeable.

The basic hash table code is in `hash.c`.

#### 2.18.1 Creating and freeing a hash table

To create a hash table, create an instance of a `struct bfd_hash_table` (defined in `bfd.h`) and call `bfd_hash_table_init` (if you know approximately how many entries you will need, the function `bfd_hash_table_init_n`, which takes a size argument, may be used). `bfd_hash_table_init` returns `FALSE` if some sort of error occurs.

The function `bfd_hash_table_init` take as an argument a function to use to create new entries. For a basic hash table, use the function `bfd_hash_newfunc`. See Deriving a New Hash Table Type, for why you would want to use a different value for this argument.

`bfd_hash_table_init` will create an objalloc which will be used to allocate new entries. You may allocate memory on this objalloc using `bfd_hash_allocate`.

Use `bfd_hash_table_free` to free up all the memory that has been allocated for a hash table. This will not free up the `struct bfd_hash_table` itself, which you must provide.

Use `bfd_hash_set_default_size` to set the default size of hash table to use.

Next: Traversing a Hash Table, Previous: Creating and Freeing a Hash Table, Up: Hash Tables [Contents][Index]

#### 2.18.2 Looking up or entering a string

The function `bfd_hash_lookup` is used both to look up a string in the hash table and to create a new entry.

If the create argument is `FALSE`, `bfd_hash_lookup` will look up a string. If the string is found, it will returns a pointer to a `struct bfd_hash_entry`. If the string is not found in the table `bfd_hash_lookup` will return `NULL`. You should not modify any of the fields in the returns `struct bfd_hash_entry`.

If the create argument is `TRUE`, the string will be entered into the hash table if it is not already there. Either way a pointer to a `struct bfd_hash_entry` will be returned, either to the existing structure or to a newly created one. In this case, a `NULL` return means that an error occurred.

If the create argument is `TRUE`, and a new entry is created, the copy argument is used to decide whether to copy the string onto the hash table objalloc or not. If copy is passed as `FALSE`, you must be careful not to deallocate or modify the string as long as the hash table exists.

Next: Deriving a New Hash Table Type, Previous: Looking Up or Entering a String, Up: Hash Tables [Contents][Index]

#### 2.18.3 Traversing a hash table

The function `bfd_hash_traverse` may be used to traverse a hash table, calling a function on each element. The traversal is done in a random order.

`bfd_hash_traverse` takes as arguments a function and a generic `void *` pointer. The function is called with a hash table entry (a `struct bfd_hash_entry *`) and the generic pointer passed to `bfd_hash_traverse`. The function must return a `boolean` value, which indicates whether to continue traversing the hash table. If the function returns `FALSE`, `bfd_hash_traverse` will stop the traversal and return immediately.

#### 2.18.4 Deriving a new hash table type

Many uses of hash tables want to store additional information which each entry in the hash table. Some also find it convenient to store additional information with the hash table itself. This may be done using a derived hash table.

Since C is not an object oriented language, creating a derived hash table requires sticking together some boilerplate routines with a few differences specific to the type of hash table you want to create.

An example of a derived hash table is the linker hash table. The structures for this are defined in `bfdlink.h`. The functions are in `linker.c`.

You may also derive a hash table from an already derived hash table. For example, the a.out linker backend code uses a hash table derived from the linker hash table.

Next: Write the Derived Creation Routine, Previous: Deriving a New Hash Table Type, Up: Deriving a New Hash Table Type [Contents][Index]

#### 2.18.4.1 Define the derived structures

You must define a structure for an entry in the hash table, and a structure for the hash table itself.

The first field in the structure for an entry in the hash table must be of the type used for an entry in the hash table you are deriving from. If you are deriving from a basic hash table this is `struct bfd_hash_entry`, which is defined in `bfd.h`. The first field in the structure for the hash table itself must be of the type of the hash table you are deriving from itself. If you are deriving from a basic hash table, this is `struct bfd_hash_table`.

For example, the linker hash table defines `struct bfd_link_hash_entry` (in `bfdlink.h`). The first field, `root`, is of type `struct bfd_hash_entry`. Similarly, the first field in `struct bfd_link_hash_table`, `table`, is of type `struct bfd_hash_table`.

Next: Write Other Derived Routines, Previous: Define the Derived Structures, Up: Deriving a New Hash Table Type [Contents][Index]

#### 2.18.4.2 Write the derived creation routine

You must write a routine which will create and initialize an entry in the hash table. This routine is passed as the function argument to `bfd_hash_table_init`.

In order to permit other hash tables to be derived from the hash table you are creating, this routine must be written in a standard way.

The first argument to the creation routine is a pointer to a hash table entry. This may be `NULL`, in which case the routine should allocate the right amount of space. Otherwise the space has already been allocated by a hash table type derived from this one.

After allocating space, the creation routine must call the creation routine of the hash table type it is derived from, passing in a pointer to the space it just allocated. This will initialize any fields used by the base hash table.

Finally the creation routine must initialize any local fields for the new hash table type.

Here is a boilerplate example of a creation routine. function_name is the name of the routine. entry_type is the type of an entry in the hash table you are creating. base_newfunc is the name of the creation routine of the hash table type your hash table is derived from.

    struct bfd_hash_entry *
    function_name (struct bfd_hash_entry *entry,
                         struct bfd_hash_table *table,
                         const char *string)
    {
      struct entry_type *ret = (entry_type *) entry;

     /* Allocate the structure if it has not already been allocated by a
        derived class.  */
      if (ret == NULL)
        {
          ret = bfd_hash_allocate (table, sizeof (* ret));
          if (ret == NULL)
            return NULL;
        }

     /* Call the allocation method of the base class.  */
      ret = ((entry_type *)
             base_newfunc ((struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret, table, string));

     /* Initialize the local fields here.  */

      return (struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret;
    }

Description
The creation routine for the linker hash table, which is in `linker.c`, looks just like this example. function_name is `_bfd_link_hash_newfunc`. entry_type is `struct bfd_link_hash_entry`. base_newfunc is `bfd_hash_newfunc`, the creation routine for a basic hash table.

`_bfd_link_hash_newfunc` also initializes the local fields in a linker hash table entry: `type`, `written` and `next`.

Previous: Write the Derived Creation Routine, Up: Deriving a New Hash Table Type [Contents][Index]

#### 2.18.4.3 Write other derived routines

You will want to write other routines for your new hash table, as well.

You will want an initialization routine which calls the initialization routine of the hash table you are deriving from and initializes any other local fields. For the linker hash table, this is `_bfd_link_hash_table_init` in `linker.c`.

You will want a lookup routine which calls the lookup routine of the hash table you are deriving from and casts the result. The linker hash table uses `bfd_link_hash_lookup` in `linker.c` (this actually takes an additional argument which it uses to decide how to return the looked up value).

You may want a traversal routine. This should just call the traversal routine of the hash table you are deriving from with appropriate casts. The linker hash table uses `bfd_link_hash_traverse` in `linker.c`.

These routines may simply be defined as macros. For example, the a.out backend linker hash table, which is derived from the linker hash table, uses macros for the lookup and traversal routines. These are `aout_link_hash_lookup` and `aout_link_hash_traverse` in aoutx.h.

### 3.2 a.out backends

Description
BFD supports a number of different flavours of a.out format, though the major differences are only the sizes of the structures on disk, and the shape of the relocation information.

The support is split into a basic support file `aoutx.h` and other files which derive functions from the base. One derivation file is `aoutf1.h` (for a.out flavour 1), and adds to the basic a.out functions support for sun3, sun4, and 386 a.out files, to create a target jump vector for a specific target.

This information is further split out into more specific files for each machine, including `sunos.c` for sun3 and sun4, and `demo64.c` for a demonstration of a 64 bit a.out format.

The base file `aoutx.h` defines general mechanisms for reading and writing records to and from disk and various other methods which BFD requires. It is included by `aout32.c` and `aout64.c` to form the names `aout_32_swap_exec_header_in`, `aout_64_swap_exec_header_in`, etc.

As an example, this is what goes on to make the back end for a sun4, from `aout32.c`:

           #define ARCH_SIZE 32
           #include "aoutx.h"

Which exports names:

           ...
           aout_32_canonicalize_reloc
           aout_32_find_nearest_line
           aout_32_get_lineno
           aout_32_get_reloc_upper_bound
           ...

from `sunos.c`:

           #define TARGET_NAME "a.out-sunos-big"
           #define VECNAME    sparc_aout_sunos_be_vec
           #include "aoutf1.h"

requires all the names from `aout32.c`, and produces the jump vector

           sparc_aout_sunos_be_vec

The file `host-aout.c` is a special case. It is for a large set of hosts that use “more or less standard” a.out files, and for which cross-debugging is not interesting. It uses the standard 32-bit a.out support routines, but determines the file offsets and addresses of the text, data, and BSS sections, the machine architecture and machine type, and the entry point address, in a host-dependent manner. Once these values have been determined, generic code is used to handle the object file.

When porting it to run on a new system, you must supply:

            HOST_PAGE_SIZE
            HOST_SEGMENT_SIZE
            HOST_MACHINE_ARCH       (optional)
            HOST_MACHINE_MACHINE    (optional)
            HOST_TEXT_START_ADDR
            HOST_STACK_END_ADDR

in the file `../include/sys/h-XXX.h` (for your host). These values, plus the structures and macros defined in `a.out.h` on your host system, will produce a BFD target that will access ordinary a.out files on your host. To configure a new machine to use `host-aout.c`, specify:

           TDEFAULTS = -DDEFAULT_VECTOR=host_aout_big_vec
           TDEPFILES= host-aout.o trad-core.o

in the `config/XXX.mt` file, and modify `configure.ac` to use the `XXX.mt` file (by setting "`bfd_target=XXX`") when your configuration is selected.

#### 3.2.1 Relocations

Description
The file `aoutx.h` provides for both the standard and extended forms of a.out relocation records.

The standard records contain only an address, a symbol index, and a type field. The extended records also have a full integer for an addend.

#### 3.2.2 Internal entry points

Description
`aoutx.h` exports several routines for accessing the contents of an a.out file, which are gathered and exported in turn by various format specific files (eg sunos.c).

#### 3.2.2.1 `aout_size_swap_exec_header_in`

Synopsis

    void aout_size_swap_exec_header_in,
       (bfd *abfd,

### 3.3 coff backends

BFD supports a number of different flavours of coff format. The major differences between formats are the sizes and alignments of fields in structures on disk, and the occasional extra field.

Coff in all its varieties is implemented with a few common files and a number of implementation specific files. For example, the i386 coff format is implemented in the file `coff-i386.c`. This file `#include`s `coff/i386.h` which defines the external structure of the coff format for the i386, and `coff/internal.h` which defines the internal structure. `coff-i386.c` also defines the relocations used by the i386 coff format See Relocations.

#### 3.3.1 Porting to a new version of coff

The recommended method is to select from the existing implementations the version of coff which is most like the one you want to use. For example, we’ll say that i386 coff is the one you select, and that your coff flavour is called foo. Copy `i386coff.c` to `foocoff.c`, copy `../include/coff/i386.h` to `../include/coff/foo.h`, and add the lines to `targets.c` and `Makefile.in` so that your new back end is used. Alter the shapes of the structures in `../include/coff/foo.h` so that they match what you need. You will probably also have to add `#ifdef`s to the code in `coff/internal.h` and `coffcode.h` if your version of coff is too wild.

You can verify that your new BFD backend works quite simply by building `objdump` from the `binutils` directory, and making sure that its version of what’s going on and your host system’s idea (assuming it has the pretty standard coff dump utility, usually called `att-dump` or just `dump`) are the same. Then clean up your code, and send what you’ve done to Cygnus. Then your stuff will be in the next release, and you won’t have to keep integrating it.

#### 3.3.2 How the coff backend works

#### 3.3.2.1 File layout

The Coff backend is split into generic routines that are applicable to any Coff target and routines that are specific to a particular target. The target-specific routines are further split into ones which are basically the same for all Coff targets except that they use the external symbol format or use different values for certain constants.

The generic routines are in `coffgen.c`. These routines work for any Coff target. They use some hooks into the target specific code; the hooks are in a `bfd_coff_backend_data` structure, one of which exists for each target.

The essentially similar target-specific routines are in `coffcode.h`. This header file includes executable C code. The various Coff targets first include the appropriate Coff header file, make any special defines that are needed, and then include `coffcode.h`.

Some of the Coff targets then also have additional routines in the target source file itself.

#### 3.3.2.2 Coff long section names

In the standard Coff object format, section names are limited to the eight bytes available in the `s_name` field of the `SCNHDR` section header structure. The format requires the field to be NUL-padded, but not necessarily NUL-terminated, so the longest section names permitted are a full eight characters.

The Microsoft PE variants of the Coff object file format add an extension to support the use of long section names. This extension is defined in section 4 of the Microsoft PE/COFF specification (rev 8.1). If a section name is too long to fit into the section header’s `s_name` field, it is instead placed into the string table, and the `s_name` field is filled with a slash ("/") followed by the ASCII decimal representation of the offset of the full name relative to the string table base.

Note that this implies that the extension can only be used in object files, as executables do not contain a string table. The standard specifies that long section names from objects emitted into executable images are to be truncated.

However, as a GNU extension, BFD can generate executable images that contain a string table and long section names. This would appear to be technically valid, as the standard only says that Coff debugging information is deprecated, not forbidden, and in practice it works, although some tools that parse PE files expecting the MS standard format may become confused; `PEview` is one known example.

The functionality is supported in BFD by code implemented under the control of the macro `COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES`. If not defined, the format does not support long section names in any way. If defined, it is used to initialise a flag, `_bfd_coff_long_section_names`, and a hook function pointer, `_bfd_coff_set_long_section_names`, in the Coff backend data structure. The flag controls the generation of long section names in output BFDs at runtime; if it is false, as it will be by default when generating an executable image, long section names are truncated; if true, the long section names extension is employed. The hook points to a function that allows the value of the flag to be altered at runtime, on formats that support long section names at all; on other formats it points to a stub that returns an error indication.

With input BFDs, the flag is set according to whether any long section names are detected while reading the section headers. For a completely new BFD, the flag is set to the default for the target format. This information can be used by a client of the BFD library when deciding what output format to generate, and means that a BFD that is opened for read and subsequently converted to a writeable BFD and modified in-place will retain whatever format it had on input.

If `COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES` is simply defined (blank), or is defined to the value "1", then long section names are enabled by default; if it is defined to the value zero, they are disabled by default (but still accepted in input BFDs). The header `coffcode.h` defines a macro, `COFF_DEFAULT_LONG_SECTION_NAMES`, which is used in the backends to initialise the backend data structure fields appropriately; see the comments for further detail.

#### 3.3.2.3 Bit twiddling

Each flavour of coff supported in BFD has its own header file describing the external layout of the structures. There is also an internal description of the coff layout, in `coff/internal.h`. A major function of the coff backend is swapping the bytes and twiddling the bits to translate the external form of the structures into the normal internal form. This is all performed in the `bfd_swap`_thing_direction routines. Some elements are different sizes between different versions of coff; it is the duty of the coff version specific include file to override the definitions of various packing routines in `coffcode.h`. E.g., the size of line number entry in coff is sometimes 16 bits, and sometimes 32 bits. `#define`ing `PUT_LNSZ_LNNO` and `GET_LNSZ_LNNO` will select the correct one. No doubt, some day someone will find a version of coff which has a varying field size not catered to at the moment. To port BFD, that person will have to add more `#defines`. Three of the bit twiddling routines are exported to `gdb`; `coff_swap_aux_in`, `coff_swap_sym_in` and `coff_swap_lineno_in`. `GDB` reads the symbol table on its own, but uses BFD to fix things up. More of the bit twiddlers are exported for `gas`; `coff_swap_aux_out`, `coff_swap_sym_out`, `coff_swap_lineno_out`, `coff_swap_reloc_out`, `coff_swap_filehdr_out`, `coff_swap_aouthdr_out`, `coff_swap_scnhdr_out`. `Gas` currently keeps track of all the symbol table and reloc drudgery itself, thereby saving the internal BFD overhead, but uses BFD to swap things on the way out, making cross ports much safer. Doing so also allows BFD (and thus the linker) to use the same header files as `gas`, which makes one avenue to disaster disappear.

#### 3.3.2.4 Symbol reading

The simple canonical form for symbols used by BFD is not rich enough to keep all the information available in a coff symbol table. The back end gets around this problem by keeping the original symbol table around, "behind the scenes".

When a symbol table is requested (through a call to `bfd_canonicalize_symtab`), a request gets through to `coff_get_normalized_symtab`. This reads the symbol table from the coff file and swaps all the structures inside into the internal form. It also fixes up all the pointers in the table (represented in the file by offsets from the first symbol in the table) into physical pointers to elements in the new internal table. This involves some work since the meanings of fields change depending upon context: a field that is a pointer to another structure in the symbol table at one moment may be the size in bytes of a structure at the next. Another pass is made over the table. All symbols which mark file names (`C_FILE` symbols) are modified so that the internal string points to the value in the auxent (the real filename) rather than the normal text associated with the symbol (`".file"`).

At this time the symbol names are moved around. Coff stores all symbols less than nine characters long physically within the symbol table; longer strings are kept at the end of the file in the string table. This pass moves all strings into memory and replaces them with pointers to the strings.

The symbol table is massaged once again, this time to create the canonical table used by the BFD application. Each symbol is inspected in turn, and a decision made (using the `sclass` field) about the various flags to set in the `asymbol`. See Symbols. The generated canonical table shares strings with the hidden internal symbol table.

Any linenumbers are read from the coff file too, and attached to the symbols which own the functions the linenumbers belong to.

#### 3.3.2.5 Symbol writing

Writing a symbol to a coff file which didn’t come from a coff file will lose any debugging information. The `asymbol` structure remembers the BFD from which the symbol was taken, and on output the back end makes sure that the same destination target as source target is present.

When the symbols have come from a coff file then all the debugging information is preserved.

Symbol tables are provided for writing to the back end in a vector of pointers to pointers. This allows applications like the linker to accumulate and output large symbol tables without having to do too much byte copying.

This function runs through the provided symbol table and patches each symbol marked as a file place holder (`C_FILE`) to point to the next file place holder in the list. It also marks each `offset` field in the list with the offset from the first symbol of the current symbol.

Another function of this procedure is to turn the canonical value form of BFD into the form used by coff. Internally, BFD expects symbol values to be offsets from a section base; so a symbol physically at 0x120, but in a section starting at 0x100, would have the value 0x20. Coff expects symbols to contain their final value, so symbols have their values changed at this point to reflect their sum with their owning section. This transformation uses the `output_section` field of the `asymbol`’s `asection` See Sections.

- `coff_mangle_symbols`

This routine runs though the provided symbol table and uses the offsets generated by the previous pass and the pointers generated when the symbol table was read in to create the structured hierarchy required by coff. It changes each pointer to a symbol into the index into the symbol table of the asymbol.

- `coff_write_symbols`

This routine runs through the symbol table and patches up the symbols from their internal form into the coff way, calls the bit twiddlers, and writes out the table to the file.

#### 3.3.2.6 `coff_symbol_type`

Description
The hidden information for an `asymbol` is described in a `combined_entry_type`:

    typedef struct coff_ptr_struct
    {
      /* Remembers the offset from the first symbol in the file for
         this symbol. Generated by coff_renumber_symbols.  */
      unsigned int offset;

      /* Should the value of this symbol be renumbered.  Used for
         XCOFF C_BSTAT symbols.  Set by coff_slurp_symbol_table.  */
      unsigned int fix_value : 1;

      unsigned int fix_tag : 1;

         Created by coff_pointerize_aux.  */
      unsigned int fix_end : 1;

      /* Should the x_csect.x_scnlen field be renumbered.
         Created by coff_pointerize_aux.  */
      unsigned int fix_scnlen : 1;

      /* Fix up an XCOFF C_BINCL/C_EINCL symbol.  The value is the
         index into the line number entries.  Set by coff_slurp_symbol_table.  */
      unsigned int fix_line : 1;

      /* The container for the symbol structure as read and translated
         from the file.  */
      union
      {
        union internal_auxent auxent;
        struct internal_syment syment;
      } u;

     /* Selector for the union above.  */
     bfd_boolean is_sym;
    } combined_entry_type;

    /* Each canonical asymbol really looks like this: */

    typedef struct coff_symbol_struct
    {

#### 3.3.2.8 Writing relocations

To write relocations, the back end steps though the canonical relocation table and create an `internal_reloc`. The symbol index to use is removed from the `offset` field in the symbol table supplied. The address comes directly from the sum of the section base address and the relocation offset; the type is dug directly from the howto field. Then the `internal_reloc` is swapped into the shape of an `external_reloc` and written out to disk.

#### 3.3.2.9 Reading linenumbers

Creating the linenumber table is done by reading in the entire coff linenumber table, and creating another table for internal use.

A coff linenumber table is structured so that each function is marked as having a line number of 0. Each line within the function is an offset from the first line in the function. The base of the line number information for the table is stored in the symbol associated with the function.

Note: The PE format uses line number 0 for a flag indicating a new source file.

The information is copied from the external to the internal table, and each symbol which marks a function is marked by pointing its...

How does this work ?

#### 3.3.2.10 Reading relocations

Coff relocations are easily transformed into the internal BFD form (`arelent`).

Reading a coff relocation table is done in the following stages:

- Read the entire coff relocation table into memory.
- Process each relocation in turn; first swap it from the external to the internal form.
- Turn the symbol referenced in the relocation’s symbol index into a pointer into the canonical symbol table. This table is the same as the one returned by a call to `bfd_canonicalize_symtab`. The back end will call that routine and save the result if a canonicalization hasn’t been done.
- The reloc index is turned into a pointer to a howto structure, in a back end specific way. For instance, the 386 uses the `r_type` to directly produce an index into a howto table vector.

### 3.4 ELF backends

BFD support for ELF formats is being worked on. Currently, the best supported back ends are for sparc and i386 (running svr4 or Solaris 2).

Documentation of the internals of the support code still needs to be written. The code is changing quickly enough that we haven’t bothered yet.

Previous: elf, Up: BFD back ends [Contents][Index]

### 3.5 mmo backend

The mmo object format is used exclusively together with Professor Donald E. Knuth’s educational 64-bit processor MMIX. The simulator `mmix` which is available at http://mmix.cs.hm.edu/src/index.html understands this format. That package also includes a combined assembler and linker called `mmixal`. The mmo format has no advantages feature-wise compared to e.g. ELF. It is a simple non-relocatable object format with no support for archives or debugging information, except for symbol value information and line numbers (which is not yet implemented in BFD). See http://mmix.cs.hm.edu/ for more information about MMIX. The ELF format is used for intermediate object files in the BFD implementation.

Next: Symbol-table, Previous: mmo, Up: mmo [Contents][Index]

#### 3.5.1 File layout

The mmo file contents is not partitioned into named sections as with e.g. ELF. Memory areas is formed by specifying the location of the data that follows. Only the memory area ‘`0x0000…00`’ to ‘`0x01ff…ff`’ is executable, so it is used for code (and constants) and the area ‘`0x2000…00`’ to ‘`0x20ff…ff`’ is used for writable data. See mmo section mapping.

There is provision for specifying “special data” of 65536 different types. We use type 80 (decimal), arbitrarily chosen the same as the ELF `e_machine` number for MMIX, filling it with section information normally found in ELF objects. See mmo section mapping.

Contents is entered as 32-bit words, xor:ed over previous contents, always zero-initialized. A word that starts with the byte ‘`0x98`’ forms a command called a ‘`lopcode`’, where the next byte distinguished between the thirteen lopcodes. The two remaining bytes, called the ‘`Y`’ and ‘`Z`’ fields, or the ‘`YZ`’ field (a 16-bit big-endian number), are used for various purposes different for each lopcode. As documented in http://mmix.cs.hm.edu/doc/mmixal.pdf, the lopcodes are:

`lop_quote`

  0x98000001. The next word is contents, regardless of whether it starts with 0x98 or not.

`lop_loc`

  0x9801YYZZ, where ‘`Z`’ is 1 or 2. This is a location directive, setting the location for the next data to the next 32-bit word (for Z = 1) or 64-bit word (for Z = 2), plus Y * 2^56. Normally ‘`Y`’ is 0 for the text segment and 2 for the data segment. Beware that the low bits of non- tetrabyte-aligned values are silently discarded when being automatically incremented and when storing contents (in contrast to e.g. its use as current location when followed by lop_fixo et al before the next possibly-quoted tetrabyte contents).

`lop_skip`

  0x9802YYZZ. Increase the current location by ‘`YZ`’ bytes.

`lop_fixo`

  0x9803YYZZ, where ‘`Z`’ is 1 or 2. Store the current location as 64 bits into the location pointed to by the next 32-bit (Z = 1) or 64-bit (Z = 2) word, plus Y * 2^56.

`lop_fixr`

  0x9804YYZZ. ‘`YZ`’ is stored into the current location plus 2 - 4 * YZ.

`lop_fixrx`

  0x980500ZZ. ‘`Z`’ is 16 or 24. A value ‘`L`’ derived from the following 32-bit word are used in a manner similar to ‘`YZ`’ in lop_fixr: it is xor:ed into the current location minus 4 * L. The first byte of the word is 0 or 1. If it is 1, then L = (lowest 24 bits of word) - 2^Z, if 0, then L = (lowest 24 bits of word).

`lop_file`

  0x9806YYZZ. ‘`Y`’ is the file number, ‘`Z`’ is count of 32-bit words. Set the file number to ‘`Y`’ and the line counter to 0. The next Z * 4 bytes contain the file name, padded with zeros if the count is not a multiple of four. The same ‘`Y`’ may occur multiple times, but ‘`Z`’ must be 0 for all but the first occurrence.

`lop_line`

  0x9807YYZZ. ‘`YZ`’ is the line number. Together with lop_file, it forms the source location for the next 32-bit word. Note that for each non-lopcode 32-bit word, line numbers are assumed incremented by one.

`lop_spec`

  0x9808YYZZ. ‘`YZ`’ is the type number. Data until the next lopcode other than lop_quote forms special data of type ‘`YZ`’. See mmo section mapping.

  Other types than 80, (or type 80 with a content that does not parse) is stored in sections named `.MMIX.spec_data.n` where n is the ‘`YZ`’-type. The flags for such a sections say not to allocate or load the data. The vma is 0. Contents of multiple occurrences of special data n is concatenated to the data of the previous lop_spec ns. The location in data or code at which the lop_spec occurred is lost.

`lop_pre`

  0x980901ZZ. The first lopcode in a file. The ‘`Z`’ field forms the length of header information in 32-bit words, where the first word tells the time in seconds since ‘`00:00:00 GMT Jan 1 1970`’.

`lop_post`

  0x980a00ZZ. Z > 32. This lopcode follows after all content-generating lopcodes in a program. The ‘`Z`’ field denotes the value of ‘`rG`’ at the beginning of the program. The following 256 - Z big-endian 64-bit words are loaded into global registers ‘`$G`’ … ‘`$255`’.

`lop_stab`

  0x980b0000. The next-to-last lopcode in a program. Must follow immediately after the lop_post lopcode and its data. After this lopcode follows all symbols in a compressed format (see Symbol-table).

`lop_end`

  0x980cYYZZ. The last lopcode in a program. It must follow the lop_stab lopcode and its data. The ‘`YZ`’ field contains the number of 32-bit words of symbol table information after the preceding lop_stab lopcode.

Note that the lopcode "fixups"; `lop_fixr`, `lop_fixrx` and `lop_fixo` are not generated by BFD, but are handled. They are generated by `mmixal`.

This trivial one-label, one-instruction file:

     :Main TRAP 1,2,3

can be represented this way in mmo:

     0x98090101 - lop_pre, one 32-bit word with timestamp.

#### 3.5.2 Symbol table format

From mmixal.w (or really, the generated mmixal.tex) in the MMIXware package which also contains the `mmix` simulator: “Symbols are stored and retrieved by means of a ‘`ternary search trie`’, following ideas of Bentley and Sedgewick. (See ACM–SIAM Symp. on Discrete Algorithms ‘`8`’ (1997), 360–369; R.Sedgewick, ‘`Algorithms in C`’ (Reading, Mass. Addison–Wesley, 1998), ‘`15.4`’.) Each trie node stores a character, and there are branches to subtries for the cases where a given character is less than, equal to, or greater than the character in the trie. There also is a pointer to a symbol table entry if a symbol ends at the current node.”

So it’s a tree encoded as a stream of bytes. The stream of bytes acts on a single virtual global symbol, adding and removing characters and signalling complete symbol points. Here, we read the stream and create symbols at the completion points.

First, there’s a control byte `m`. If any of the listed bits in `m` is nonzero, we execute what stands at the right, in the listed order:

     (MMO3_LEFT)
     0x40 - Traverse left trie.
            (Read a new command byte and recurse.)

     (MMO3_SYMBITS)
     0x2f - Read the next byte as a character and store it in the
            current character position; increment character position.
            Test the bits of m:

            (MMO3_WCHAR)
            0x80 - The character is 16-bit (so read another byte,
                   merge into current character.

            (MMO3_TYPEBITS)
            0xf  - We have a complete symbol; parse the type, value
                   and serial number and do what should be done
                   with a symbol.  The type and length information
                   is in j = (m & 0xf).

                   (MMO3_REGQUAL_BITS)
                   j == 0xf: A register variable.  The following
                             byte tells which register.
                   j <= 8:   An absolute symbol.  Read j bytes as the
                             big-endian number the symbol equals.
                             A j = 2 with two zero bytes denotes an
                             unknown symbol.
                   j > 8:    As with j <= 8, but add (0x20 << 56)
                             to the value in the following j - 8
                             bytes.

                   Then comes the serial number, as a variant of
                   uleb128, but better named ubeb128:
                   Read bytes and shift the previous value left 7
                   (multiply by 128).  Add in the new byte, repeat
                   until a byte has bit 7 set.  The serial number
                   is the computed value minus 128.

            (MMO3_MIDDLE)
            0x20 - Traverse middle trie.  (Read a new command byte
                   and recurse.)  Decrement character position.

     (MMO3_RIGHT)
     0x10 - Traverse right trie.  (Read a new command byte and
            recurse.)

Let’s look again at the `lop_stab` for the trivial file (see File layout).

     0x980b0000 - lop_stab for ":Main" = 0, serial 1.
     0x203a4040
     0x10404020
     0x4d206120
     0x69016e00
     0x81000000

This forms the trivial trie (note that the path between “:” and “M” is redundant):

     203a     ":"
     40       /
     40      /
     10      \
     40      /
     40     /
     204d  "M"
     2061  "a"
     2069  "i"
     016e  "n" is the last character in a full symbol, and
           with a value represented in one byte.
     00    The value is 0.
     81    The serial number is 1.

#### 3.5.3 mmo section mapping

The implementation in BFD uses special data type 80 (decimal) to encapsulate and describe named sections, containing e.g. debug information. If needed, any datum in the encapsulation will be quoted using lop_quote. First comes a 32-bit word holding the number of 32-bit words containing the zero-terminated zero-padded segment name. After the name there’s a 32-bit word holding flags describing the section type. Then comes a 64-bit big-endian word with the section length (in bytes), then another with the section start address. Depending on the type of section, the contents might follow, zero-padded to 32-bit boundary. For a loadable section (such as data or code), the contents might follow at some later point, not necessarily immediately, as a lop_loc with the same start address as in the section description, followed by the contents. This in effect forms a descriptor that must be emitted before the actual contents. Sections described this way must not overlap.

For areas that don’t have such descriptors, synthetic sections are formed by BFD. Consecutive contents in the two memory areas ‘`0x0000…00`’ to ‘`0x01ff…ff`’ and ‘`0x2000…00`’ to ‘`0x20ff…ff`’ are entered in sections named `.text` and `.data` respectively. If an area is not otherwise described, but would together with a neighboring lower area be less than ‘`0x40000000`’ bytes long, it is joined with the lower area and the gap is zero-filled. For other cases, a new section is formed, named `.MMIX.sec.n`. Here, n is a number, a running count through the mmo file, starting at 0.

A loadable section specified as:

     .section secname,"ax"
     TETRA 1,2,3,4,-1,-2009
     BYTE 80

and linked to address ‘`0x4`’, is represented by the sequence:

     0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
     0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
     0x7365636e - "secn"
     0x616d6500 - "ame\0"
     0x00000033 - flags CODE, READONLY, LOAD, ALLOC
     0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
     0x0000001c - section length is 28 bytes; 6 * 4 + 1 + alignment to 32 bits
     0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section address
     0x00000004 - section address is 4
     0x98010002 - 64 bits with address of following data
     0x00000000 - high 32 bits of address
     0x00000004 - low 32 bits: data starts at address 4
     0x00000001 - 1
     0x00000002 - 2
     0x00000003 - 3
     0x00000004 - 4
     0xffffffff - -1
     0xfffff827 - -2009
     0x50000000 - 80 as a byte, padded with zeros.

Note that the lop_spec wrapping does not include the section contents. Compare this to a non-loaded section specified as:

     .section thirdsec
     TETRA 200001,100002
     BYTE 38,40

This, when linked to address ‘`0x200000000000001c`’, is represented by:

     0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
     0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
     0x7365636e - "thir"
     0x616d6500 - "dsec"
     0x00000010 - flag READONLY
     0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
     0x0000000c - section length is 12 bytes; 2 * 4 + 2 + alignment to 32 bits
     0x20000000 - high 32 bits of address
     0x0000001c - low 32 bits of address 0x200000000000001c
     0x00030d41 - 200001
     0x000186a2 - 100002
     0x26280000 - 38, 40 as bytes, padded with zeros

For the latter example, the section contents must not be loaded in memory, and is therefore specified as part of the special data. The address is usually unimportant but might provide information for e.g. the DWARF 2 debugging format.

    Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    http://fsf.org/

    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

0. PREAMBLE

   The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

   This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

   We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

   This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

   A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

   A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

   The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

   The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

   A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.

   Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

   The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

   The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.

   A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.

   The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

2. VERBATIM COPYING

   You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

   You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

3. COPYING IN QUANTITY

   If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

   If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

   If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

   It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

4. MODIFICATIONS

   You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

   1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
   2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
   3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
   4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
   5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
   6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
   7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.
   8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
   9. Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
   10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
   11. For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
   12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
   13. Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
   14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
   15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

   If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

   You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

   You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

   The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

   You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

   The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

   In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections Entitled “Endorsements.”

6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

   You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

   You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

   A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

   If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

8. TRANSLATION

   Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

   If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

9. TERMINATION

   You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

   However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

   Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

   Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.

10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

    The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.

    Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

11. RELICENSING

    “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.

    “CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.

    “Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.

    An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.

    The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

### ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page:

      Copyright (C)  year  your name.
      Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
      under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
      or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
      with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
      Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
      Free Documentation License''.

If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with…Texts.” line with this:

        with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with
        the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts
        being list.

If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.

If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
