  20 /* This file defines functions (and commands to exercise those
  21    functions) for reading debugging information from object files
  22    whose images are mapped directly into the inferior's memory.  For
  23    example, the Linux kernel maps a "syscall DSO" into each process's
  24    address space; this DSO provides kernel-specific code for some
  25    system calls.
  26
  27    At the moment, BFD only has functions for parsing object files from
  28    memory for the ELF format, even though the general idea isn't
  29    ELF-specific.  This means that BFD only provides the functions GDB
  30    needs when configured for ELF-based targets.  So these functions
  31    may only be compiled on ELF-based targets.
  32
  33    GDB has no idea whether it has been configured for an ELF-based
  34    target or not: it just tries to handle whatever files it is given.
  35    But this means there are no preprocessor symbols on which we could
  36    make these functions' compilation conditional.
  37
  38    So, for the time being, we put these functions alone in this file,
  39    and have .mt files reference them as appropriate.  In the future, I
  40    hope BFD will provide a format-independent bfd_from_remote_memory
  41    entry point.  */
