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>>. @menu @* Section Input:: @* Section Output:: @* typedef asection:: @* section prototypes:: @end menu INODE Section Input, Section Output, Sections, Sections SUBSECTION 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. An IEEE-695 file doesn't contain raw data in sections, but data and relocation expressions intermixed, so the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and relocations. INODE Section Output, typedef asection, Section Input, Sections SUBSECTION 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 --------| SUBSECTION Link orders The data within a section is stored in a @dfn{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. */ #include "bfd.h" #include "sysdep.h" #include "libbfd.h" #include "bfdlink.h" /* DOCDD INODE typedef asection, section prototypes, Section Output, Sections SUBSECTION typedef asection Here is the section structure: CODE_FRAGMENT . .{* This structure is used for a comdat section, as in PE.
