@section coff backends

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

Coff in all its varieties is implimented with a few common files and a
number of implementation specific files. For example, The 88k bcs coff
format is implemented in the file @code{coff-m88k.c}. This file
@code{#include}s @code{coff-m88k.h} which defines the external
structure of the coff format for the 88k, and @code{internalcoff.h}
which defines the internal structure. @code{coff-m88k.c} also defines
the relocations used by the 88k format @xref{Relocations}. Then the
major portion of coff code is included (@code{coffcode.h}) which
defines the methods used to act upon the types defined in
@code{coff-m88k.h} and @code{internalcoff.h}.

The Intel i960 processor version of coff is implemented in
@code{coff-i960.c}. This file has the same structure as
@code{coff-m88k.c}, except that it includes @code{coff-i960.h} rather
than @code{coff-m88k.h}.

@subsection Porting To A New Version of Coff

The recommended method is to select from the existing implimentations
the version of coff which is most like the one you want to use, for
our purposes, we'll say that i386 coff is the one you select, and that
your coff flavour is called foo. Copy the @code{i386coff.c} to @code{foocoff.c},
copy @code{../include/i386coff.h} to @code{../include/foocoff.h} and
add the lines to @code{targets.c} and @code{Makefile.in} so that your
new back end is used.

Alter the shapes of the structures in @code{../include/foocoff.h} so
that they match what you need. You will probably also have to add
@code{#ifdef}s to the code in @code{internalcoff.h} and
@code{coffcode.h} if your version of coff is too wild.

You can verify that your new BFD backend works quite simply by
building @code{objdump} from the @code{binutils} directory, and
making sure that its version of what's going on at your host systems
idea (assuming it has the pretty standard coff dump utility (usually
called @code{att-dump} or just @code{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.

@subsection How The Coff Backend Works

@subsubsection Bit Twiddling
Each flavour of coff supported in BFD has its own header file
descibing the external layout of the structures. There is also an
internal description of the coff layout (in @code{internalcoff.h})
file (@code{}). 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
@code{bfd_swap}_@i{thing}_@i{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 @code{coffcode.h}. Eg the size of line
number entry in coff is sometimes 16 bits, and sometimes 32 bits.
@code{#define}ing @code{PUT_LNSZ_LNNO} and @code{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 for at the moment.
To port BFD, that person will have to add more @code{#defines}.

Three of the bit twiddling routines are exported to @code{gdb};
@code{coff_swap_aux_in}, @code{coff_swap_sym_in} and
@code{coff_swap_linno_in}. @code{GDB} reads the symbol table on its
own, but uses BFD to fix things up.

More of the bit twiddlers are exported for @code{gas};
@code{coff_swap_aux_out}, @code{coff_swap_sym_out},
@code{coff_swap_lineno_out}, @code{coff_swap_reloc_out},
@code{coff_swap_filehdr_out}, @code{coff_swap_aouthdr_out},
@code{coff_swap_scnhdr_out}. @code{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.  This also allows BFD (and thus the
linker) to use the same header files as @code{gas}, which makes one
avenue to disaster disappear.

@subsubsection 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 by keeping the original symbol table around,
"behind the scenes".

When a symbol table is requested (through a call to
@code{bfd_canonicalize_symtab}, a request gets through to
@code{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 changes 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 in the next.

Another pass is made over the table. All symbols which mark file names
(@code{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 (@code{".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 @code{sclass} field) about the
various flags to set in the @code{asymbol} @xref{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.

@subsubsection Symbol Writing
Writing a symbol to a coff file which didn't come from a coff file
will lose any debugging information. The @code{asymbol} structure
remembers the BFD from which was born, 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.

The symbol table is not output to a writable BFD until it is closed.
The order of operations on the canonical symbol table at that point
are:
@table @code
@item coff_renumber_symbols
This function runs through the provided symbol table and patches each
symbol marked as a file place holder (@code{C_FILE}) to point to the
next file place holder in the list. It also marks each @code{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. Note that this transformation uses the
@code{output_section} field of the @code{asymbol}'s @code{asection}
@xref{Sections}.
@item 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 hierachy
required by coff. It changes each pointer to a symbol to an index into
the symbol table of the symbol being referenced.
@item 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 tabel to the file.
@end table

@subsubsection Writing Relocations
To write a relocations, all the back end does is step though the
canonical relocation table, and create an @code{internal_reloc}. The
symbol index to use is removed from the @code{offset} field in the
symbol table supplied, the address comes directly from the sum of the
section base address and the relocation offset and the type is dug
directly from the howto field.

Then the @code{internal_reloc} is swapped into the shape of an
@code{external_reloc} and written out to disk.

Createing the linenumber table is done by reading in the entire coff

A coff line number table is structured so that each

@subsubsection Reading Relocations
Coff relocations are easily transformed into the internal BFD form
(@code{arelent}).

Reading a coff relocation table is done in the following stages:
@itemize @bullet
@item
The entire coff relocation table is read into memory.
@item
Each relocation is processed in turn, first it is swapped from the
external to the internal form.
@item
The symbol referenced in the relocation's symbol index is turned into
a pointer into the canonical symbol table. Note that this table is the
same as the one returned by a call to @code{bfd_canonicalize_symtab}.
The back end will call the routine and save the result if a
canonicalization hasn't been done.
@item
The reloc index is turned into a pointer to a howto structure, in a
back end specific way. For instance, the 386 and 960 use the
@code{r_type} to directly produce an index into a howto table vector;
the 88k subtracts a number from the @code{r_type} field and creates an
addend field.
@end itemize
