// target.h -- target support for gold   -*- C++ -*-

// The abstract class Target is the interface for target specific
// support.  It defines abstract methods which each target must
// implement.  Typically there will be one target per processor, but
// in some cases it may be necessary to have subclasses.

// For speed and consistency we want to use inline functions to handle
// relocation processing.  So besides implementations of the abstract
// methods, each target is expected to define a template
// specialization of the relocation functions.
