33 // This class is used to manage COPY relocations. We try to avoid
34 // them when possible. A COPY relocation may be required when an
35 // executable refers to a variable defined in a shared library. COPY
36 // relocations are problematic because they tie the executable to the
37 // exact size of the variable in the shared library. We can avoid
38 // them if all the references to the variable are in a writeable
39 // section. In that case we can simply use dynamic relocations.
40 // However, when scanning relocs, we don't know when we see the
41 // relocation whether we will be forced to use a COPY relocation or
42 // not. So we have to save the relocation during the reloc scanning,
43 // and then emit it as a dynamic relocation if necessary. This class
44 // implements that. It is used by the target specific code.
46 // The template parameter SH_TYPE is the type of the reloc section to
47 // be used for COPY relocs: elfcpp::SHT_REL or elfcpp::SHT_RELA.
