SECTION

  Symbols

  BFD tries to maintain as much symbol information as it can when

  it moves information from file to file. BFD passes information

  to applications though the <<asymbol>> structure. When the

  application requests the symbol table, BFD reads the table in

  the native form and translates parts of it into the internal

  format. To maintain more than the information passed to

  applications, some targets keep some information ``behind the

  scenes'' in a structure only the particular back end knows

  about. For example, the coff back end keeps the original

  symbol table structure as well as the canonical structure when

  a BFD is read in. On output, the coff back end can reconstruct

  the output symbol table so that no information is lost, even

  information unique to coff which BFD doesn't know or

  understand. If a coff symbol table were read, but were written

  through an a.out back end, all the coff specific information

  would be lost. The symbol table of a BFD

  is not necessarily read in until a canonicalize request is

  made. Then the BFD back end fills in a table provided by the

  application with pointers to the canonical information.  To

  output symbols, the application provides BFD with a table of

  pointers to pointers to <<asymbol>>s. This allows applications

  like the linker to output a symbol as it was read, since the ``behind

  the scenes'' information will be still available.

SUBSECTION

  Reading symbols

  There are two stages to reading a symbol table from a BFD:

  allocating storage, and the actual reading process. This is an

  excerpt from an application which reads the symbol table:

|         long storage_needed;

|         asymbol **symbol_table;

|         long number_of_symbols;

|         long i;

|

|         storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound (abfd);

|

|         if (storage_needed < 0)

|           FAIL

|

|         if (storage_needed == 0)

|           return;

|

|         symbol_table = xmalloc (storage_needed);

|           ...

|         number_of_symbols =

|            bfd_canonicalize_symtab (abfd, symbol_table);

|

|         if (number_of_symbols < 0)

|           FAIL

|

|         for (i = 0; i < number_of_symbols; i++)

|           process_symbol (symbol_table[i]);

  All storage for the symbols themselves is in an objalloc

  connected to the BFD; it is freed when the BFD is closed.

INODE

Writing Symbols, Mini Symbols, Reading Symbols, Symbols

SUBSECTION

  Writing symbols

  Writing of a symbol table is automatic when a BFD open for

  writing is closed. The application attaches a vector of

  pointers to pointers to symbols to the BFD being written, and

  fills in the symbol count. The close and cleanup code reads

  through the table provided and performs all the necessary

  operations. The BFD output code must always be provided with an

  ``owned'' symbol: one which has come from another BFD, or one

  which has been created using <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>.  Here is an

  example showing the creation of a symbol table with only one element:

|       #include "sysdep.h"

|       #include "bfd.h"

|       int main (void)

|       {

|         bfd *abfd;

|         asymbol *ptrs[2];

|         asymbol *new;

|

|         abfd = bfd_openw ("foo","a.out-sunos-big");

|         bfd_set_format (abfd, bfd_object);

|         new = bfd_make_empty_symbol (abfd);

|         new->name = "dummy_symbol";

|         new->section = bfd_make_section_old_way (abfd, ".text");

|         new->flags = BSF_GLOBAL;

|         new->value = 0x12345;

|

|         ptrs[0] = new;

|         ptrs[1] = 0;

|

|         bfd_set_symtab (abfd, ptrs, 1);

|         bfd_close (abfd);

|         return 0;

|       }

|

|       ./makesym

|       nm foo

|       00012345 A dummy_symbol

  Many formats cannot represent arbitrary symbol information; for

  instance, the <<a.out>> object format does not allow an

  arbitrary number of sections. A symbol pointing to a section

  which is not one  of <<.text>>, <<.data>> or <<.bss>> cannot

  be described.

INODE

Mini Symbols, typedef asymbol, Writing Symbols, Symbols

SUBSECTION

  Mini Symbols

  Mini symbols provide read-only access to the symbol table.

  They use less memory space, but require more time to access.

  They can be useful for tools like nm or objdump, which may

  have to handle symbol tables of extremely large executables.

  The <<bfd_read_minisymbols>> function will read the symbols

  into memory in an internal form.  It will return a <<void *>>

  pointer to a block of memory, a symbol count, and the size of

  each symbol.  The pointer is allocated using <<malloc>>, and

  should be freed by the caller when it is no longer needed.

  The function <<bfd_minisymbol_to_symbol>> will take a pointer

  to a minisymbol, and a pointer to a structure returned by

  <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>, and return a <<asymbol>> structure.

  The return value may or may not be the same as the value from

  <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>> which was passed in.
