* som.c (som_prep_for_fixups): A relocation involving the section

[deliverable/binutils-gdb.git] / bfd / ChangeLog

Mon Mar 14 11:41:23 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)

        * som.c (som_prep_for_fixups): A relocation involving the section
        symbol for the *ABS* section is really a relocation involving
        no symbol.
        (som_slurp_symbol_table): Do not set BSF_GLOBAL or BSF_EXPORT for
        undefined symbols.  Correctly distinguish between debugger symbols
        and section symbols.

        * som (setup_sections): Set SEC_DEBUGGING and the section attributes
        for spaces and subspaces.

        * som.c (som_bfd_count_ar_symbols): Fix typo.

        * som.c (som_object_setup): Set EXEC_P, D_PAGED, WP_TEXT, and
        HAS_RELOC based on the object's magic number.
        (make_unique_section): Delete function.  BFD and its users are
        prepared to handle multiple sections with the same name.
        (setup_sections): Allocate space on the BFD's obstack to hold
        section names.  Use bfd_make_setion_anyway rather than the
        obsolete make_unique_section.
        (som_prep_headers): Choose the correct SOM magic number based
        on the BFD's flags.
        (som_bfd_fill_in_ar_symbols): Return false, not NULL on error.

Sat Mar 12 09:46:09 1994  Ian Lance Taylor  (ian@cygnus.com)

        * elf32-ppc.c: Renamed from elf32-powerpc.c.

        and STYP_COMMENT.

Wed Mar  9 17:17:53 1994  Jim Kingdon  (kingdon@lioth.cygnus.com)

        * libbfd-in.h: Remove alloca cruft.  It was missing some necessary
        cruft (like the #pragma alloca for AIX).
        In addition to that problem, the C alloca calls xmalloc, which
        means checking for being out of memory can't work right.  The
        following changes remove all uses of alloca from BFD.
        * hosts/solaris2.h: Remove alloca cruft.
        * som.c: Replace alloca with a fixed size auto array.

        sunos.c: Replace alloca with malloc and appropriate error checking and
        freeing.
        * linker.c: Replace alloca with obstack_alloc.
        * libbfd.h: Rebuilt.

        MIPS_R_GPREL.

Sat Mar  5 14:08:54 1994  Peter Schauer  (pes@regent.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de)

        * elf32-hppa.h, elfcode.h:  Replace uses of Elf*_Half, Elf*_Word,
        Elf*_Off typedefs by their expansion, the typedefs have been
        removed from include/elf/internal.h.
        * elfcode.h (bfd_section_from_shdr):  Handle SHT_DYNAMIC section like
        SHT_PROGBITS section.

Thu Mar  3 20:03:39 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_core_file_p): A non-zero, not zero,
        return from bfd_seek indicates an error.
        New macro TRAD_CORE_DSIZE_INCLUDES_TSIZE to replace
        TRAD_CORE_STACK_OFFSET.
        * hosts/symmetry.h: Define TRAD_CORE_DSIZE_INCLUDES_TSIZE and
        TRAD_CORE_USER_OFFSET but not HOST_STACK_OFFSET.

Wed Mar  2 11:57:03 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  (law@snake.cs.utah.edu)

        it in som.h.

        * elf32-hppa.[ch]: Do not include libhppa.h in elf32-hppa.c, instead
        include it in elf32-hppa.h.

        field parameter.
        (bfd_som_set_section_attributes): Use unsigned int rather than
        unsigned char to avoid GNU-C extensions.
        (bfd_som_attach_aux_hdr): Return a boolean to indicate success

        (hppa_elf_build_linker_stub): Try again to get the sym_ptr_ptr
        right in the original relocation and the stub's relocation.

        * elf32-hppa.h (hppa_look_for_stub_in_section): Fix typo.  Delete
        unused symbols argument.

        * elf32-hppa.c (hppa_elf_stub_reloc): Accept asymbol ** rather
        than asymbol * for original target symbol.  All callers changed.
        Set reloc->sym_ptr_ptr appropriately.
        (hppa_elf_build_linker_stub): Set reloc->sym_ptr_ptr correctly.
        (hppa_elf_look_for_stubs_in_section): No longer need symbols

        error code propogation working.  Work on spacing and indention.
        Add FIXMEs for unresolved problems.  Use enums rather than
        #defines for lots of things.  Merge two functions which build
        linker stubs into a single function (so they can easily share a
        ton of common code).

        static vars together.  Collapse common case statements together
        in many places.  Use default case when possible instead of listing
        each case separately.  Abort for bad errors until we get error
        code propogation working.  Work on spacing and indention problems.
        Add FIXMEs for some unresolved problems.  Delete hopelessly broken 
        COMPLEX relocation support (it's never used anyway).
        (hppa_elf_rebuild_insn): Delete.  Moved into libhppa.h.
        (elf_hppa_tc_symbol): Accept and use new arguments (symext chains).

Tue Feb 15 19:39:24 1994  Ken Raeburn  (raeburn@cujo.cygnus.com)

        * section.c (bfd_get_section_contents): Since this function reads
        unrelocated contents, the section's raw size is always the one to
        use for bounds checking.

        * linker.c (default_indirect_link_order): In assertion, compare
        link_order size field against cooked size, not raw size, of input
        section.

        bother processing them.
        (b_out_get_relocated_section_contents): Set reloc_done.  Assert

        * libcoff.h, libcoff-in.h (bfd_perform_slip):  Rename "value" to
        "val" in prototype declaration because some compilers don't like

        Add basic support for writing RS/6000 XCOFF files.
        * coff-rs6000.c (dummy_reloc): Removed.
        (rs6000coff_howto_table): Defined XCOFF relocs.

        rs6000coff_reloc_type_lookup. 
        (rs6000coff_reloc_type_lookup): New function.
        (SELECT_RELOC): Defined to set r_type and r_size fields.

        STYP_INFO for the type of a section named .debug.
        (coff_add_missing_symbols): Don't define if RS6000COFF_C.
        (coff_write_object_contents): If RS6000COFF_C, don't call
        coff_add_missing_symbols.
        (coff_slurp_symbol_table): If RS6000COFF_C, then if the last aux
        entry has type STY_LD change the x_scnlen into a pointer to a
        symbol and set fix_scnlen.  Also, for a C_BSTAT symbol, change the
        value into a pointer to a symbol and set fix_value.
        * libcoff.h: Rebuilt.
        * coffgen.c (coff_mangle_symbols): Reindent.  If fix_value is set,
        get the symbol offset. Likewise for fix_scnlen.

        (coff_write_symbols): Initialize debug_string_size to 0.  If
        bfd_coff_symname_in_debug returns true, don't put symbol name in
        usual string table.  After writing out all symbols, if
        debug_string_size is not 0, check that it matches the size of the
        .debug section.
        (coff_get_normalized_symtab): Clear new fix_value and fix_scnlen
        fields.  If the string offset is 0, always use an empty string as
        the name.
        (coff_make_empty_symbol): Zero out the symbol structure.
        * reloc.c (bfd_perform_relocation): Work around one gross hack
        with another: actually look at the target name to avoid the broken
        COFF check.
        (bfd_reloc_code_real_type): Add BFD_RELOC_PPC_B26,
        BFD_RELOC_PPC_BA26 and BFD_RELOC_PPC_TOC16.

        symbol has a value in the ECOFF symbol but not in the BFD symbol,
        keep the value in the ECOFF symbol.  This helps gas.

        _bfd_generic_link_write_global_symbol): Don't require that all
        references to a common symbol be themselves common symbols.

        bfd_som_set_subsection_attributes): Change parameters from char
        to int.  Following a prototype with an old-style function definition

        The sparc (and possibly other?) NLM format requires a different
        way to write exports, so add a write_export field to the backend

        return value.
        * aoutf1.h (NAME(aout,sunos4_write_object_contents)): Don't write
        out dynamic symbols or relocs against reloc symbols, since they
        are already in the .text section and we wouldn't know where to
        write them anyhow.

        MY_bfd_debug_info_accumulat [sic]): Remove unused definitions.
        (MY_bfd_get_relocated_section_contents, MY_bfd_relax_section,
        MY_bfd_seclet_link): Define.
        (MY_bfd_reloc_type_lookup): Rename from
        MY_reloc_howto_type_lookup.
        (MY_bfd_make_debug_symbol): Rename from MY_make_debug_symbol.
        (MY(vec)): Use JUMP_TABLE rather than listing functions.
        * hp300hpux.c (MY_get_symtab, MY_get_symtab_upper_bound,
        MY_canonicalize_reloc, MY_write_object_contents): Don't define in
        terms of MY, because that causes a recusive invocation of CAT when
        expanded within JUMP_TABLE, and ANSI compilers don't expand
        recursive macros.
        * mipsbsd.c (MY_bfd_reloc_type_lookup): Rename from
        MY_reloc_howto_type_lookup, and don't define in terms of MY.
        (MY_canonicalize_reloc): Don't define in terms of MY.
        (aout_mips_little_vec, aout_mips_big_vec): Use JUMP_TABLE rather
        than listing functions.
