14 /// SectionKind - This is a simple POD value that classifies the properties of
15 /// a section. A section is classified into the deepest possible
16 /// classification, and then the target maps them onto their sections based on
17 /// what capabilities they have.
19 /// The comments below describe these as if they were an inheritance hierarchy
20 /// in order to explain the predicates below.
24 /// Metadata - Debug info sections or other metadata.
27 /// Text - Text section, used for functions and other executable code.
30 /// ExecuteOnly, Text section that is not readable.
33 /// ReadOnly - Data that is never written to at program runtime by the
34 /// program or the dynamic linker. Things in the top-level readonly
35 /// SectionKind are not mergeable.
38 /// MergableCString - Any null-terminated string which allows merging.
39 /// These values are known to end in a nul value of the specified size,
40 /// not otherwise contain a nul value, and be mergable. This allows the
41 /// linker to unique the strings if it so desires.
43 /// Mergeable1ByteCString - 1 byte mergable, null terminated, string.
44 Mergeable1ByteCString
,
46 /// Mergeable2ByteCString - 2 byte mergable, null terminated, string.
47 Mergeable2ByteCString
,
49 /// Mergeable4ByteCString - 4 byte mergable, null terminated, string.
50 Mergeable4ByteCString
,
52 /// MergeableConst - These are sections for merging fixed-length
53 /// constants together. For example, this can be used to unique
54 /// constant pool entries etc.
56 /// MergeableConst4 - This is a section used by 4-byte constants,
57 /// for example, floats.
60 /// MergeableConst8 - This is a section used by 8-byte constants,
61 /// for example, doubles.
64 /// MergeableConst16 - This is a section used by 16-byte constants,
65 /// for example, vectors.
68 /// MergeableConst32 - This is a section used by 32-byte constants,
69 /// for example, vectors.
72 /// Writeable - This is the base of all segments that need to be written
73 /// to during program runtime.
75 /// ThreadLocal - This is the base of all TLS segments. All TLS
76 /// objects must be writeable, otherwise there is no reason for them to
79 /// ThreadBSS - Zero-initialized TLS data objects.
82 /// ThreadData - Initialized TLS data objects.
85 /// GlobalWriteableData - Writeable data that is global (not thread
88 /// BSS - Zero initialized writeable data.
91 /// BSSLocal - This is BSS (zero initialized and writable) data
92 /// which has local linkage.
95 /// BSSExtern - This is BSS data with normal external linkage.
98 /// Common - Data with common linkage. These represent tentative
99 /// definitions, which always have a zero initializer and are never
100 /// marked 'constant'.
103 /// This is writeable data that has a non-zero initializer.
106 /// ReadOnlyWithRel - These are global variables that are never
107 /// written to by the program, but that have relocations, so they
108 /// must be stuck in a writeable section so that the dynamic linker
109 /// can write to them. If it chooses to, the dynamic linker can
110 /// mark the pages these globals end up on as read-only after it is
111 /// done with its relocation phase.
