24 SECTION
25 Symbols
27 BFD tries to maintain as much symbol information as it can when
28 it moves information from file to file. BFD passes information
29 to applications though the <<asymbol>> structure. When the
30 application requests the symbol table, BFD reads the table in
31 the native form and translates parts of it into the internal
32 format. To maintain more than the information passed to
33 applications, some targets keep some information ``behind the
34 scenes'' in a structure only the particular back end knows
35 about. For example, the coff back end keeps the original
36 symbol table structure as well as the canonical structure when
37 a BFD is read in. On output, the coff back end can reconstruct
38 the output symbol table so that no information is lost, even
39 information unique to coff which BFD doesn't know or
40 understand. If a coff symbol table were read, but were written
41 through an a.out back end, all the coff specific information
42 would be lost. The symbol table of a BFD
43 is not necessarily read in until a canonicalize request is
44 made. Then the BFD back end fills in a table provided by the
45 application with pointers to the canonical information. To
46 output symbols, the application provides BFD with a table of
47 pointers to pointers to <<asymbol>>s. This allows applications
48 like the linker to output a symbol as it was read, since the ``behind
49 the scenes'' information will be still available.

61 Reading symbols
63 There are two stages to reading a symbol table from a BFD:
64 allocating storage, and the actual reading process. This is an
65 excerpt from an application which reads the symbol table:
67 | long storage_needed;
68 | asymbol **symbol_table;
69 | long number_of_symbols;
70 | long i;
72 | storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound (abfd);
74 | if (storage_needed < 0)
75 | FAIL
77 | if (storage_needed == 0)
78 | return;
80 | symbol_table = xmalloc (storage_needed);
81 | ...
82 | number_of_symbols =
83 | bfd_canonicalize_symtab (abfd, symbol_table);
85 | if (number_of_symbols < 0)
86 | FAIL
88 | for (i = 0; i < number_of_symbols; i++)
89 | process_symbol (symbol_table[i]);
91 All storage for the symbols themselves is in an objalloc
92 connected to the BFD; it is freed when the BFD is closed.
94 INODE
95 Writing Symbols, Mini Symbols, Reading Symbols, Symbols
96 SUBSECTION
97 Writing symbols
99 Writing of a symbol table is automatic when a BFD open for
100 writing is closed. The application attaches a vector of
101 pointers to pointers to symbols to the BFD being written, and
102 fills in the symbol count. The close and cleanup code reads
103 through the table provided and performs all the necessary
104 operations. The BFD output code must always be provided with an
105 ``owned'' symbol: one which has come from another BFD, or one
106 which has been created using <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>. Here is an
107 example showing the creation of a symbol table with only one element:
109 | #include "bfd.h"
110 | int main (void)
112 | bfd *abfd;
113 | asymbol *ptrs[2];
114 | asymbol *new;
116 | abfd = bfd_openw ("foo","a.out-sunos-big");
117 | bfd_set_format (abfd, bfd_object);
118 | new = bfd_make_empty_symbol (abfd);
119 | new->name = "dummy_symbol";
120 | new->section = bfd_make_section_old_way (abfd, ".text");
121 | new->flags = BSF_GLOBAL;
122 | new->value = 0x12345;
124 | ptrs[0] = new;
125 | ptrs[1] = 0;
127 | bfd_set_symtab (abfd, ptrs, 1);
128 | bfd_close (abfd);
129 | return 0;
132 | ./makesym
133 | nm foo
134 | 00012345 A dummy_symbol
136 Many formats cannot represent arbitary symbol information; for
137 instance, the <<a.out>> object format does not allow an
138 arbitary number of sections. A symbol pointing to a section
139 which is not one of <<.text>>, <<.data>> or <<.bss>> cannot
140 be described.
142 INODE
143 Mini Symbols, typedef asymbol, Writing Symbols, Symbols
144 SUBSECTION
145 Mini Symbols
147 Mini symbols provide read-only access to the symbol table.
148 They use less memory space, but require more time to access.
149 They can be useful for tools like nm or objdump, which may
150 have to handle symbol tables of extremely large executables.
152 The <<bfd_read_minisymbols>> function will read the symbols
153 into memory in an internal form. It will return a <<void *>>
154 pointer to a block of memory, a symbol count, and the size of
155 each symbol. The pointer is allocated using <<malloc>>, and
156 should be freed by the caller when it is no longer needed.
158 The function <<bfd_minisymbol_to_symbol>> will take a pointer
159 to a minisymbol, and a pointer to a structure returned by
160 <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>, and return a <<asymbol>> structure.
161 The return value may or may not be the same as the value from
162 <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>> which was passed in.
