SECTION
        coff backends

        BFD supports a number of different flavours of coff format.
        The major differences between formats are the sizes and
        alignments of fields in structures on disk, and the occasional
        extra field.

        Coff in all its varieties is implemented with a few common
        files and a number of implementation specific files. For
        example, the i386 coff format is implemented in the file
        @file{coff-i386.c}.  This file @code{#include}s
        @file{coff/i386.h} which defines the external structure of the
        coff format for the i386, and @file{coff/internal.h} which
        defines the internal structure. @file{coff-i386.c} also
        defines the relocations used by the i386 coff format
        @xref{Relocations}.

SUBSECTION
        Porting to a new version of coff

        The recommended method is to select from the existing
        implementations the version of coff which is most like the one
        you want to use.  For example, we'll say that i386 coff is
        the one you select, and that your coff flavour is called foo.
        Copy @file{i386coff.c} to @file{foocoff.c}, copy
        @file{../include/coff/i386.h} to @file{../include/coff/foo.h},
        and add the lines to @file{targets.c} and @file{Makefile.in}
        so that your new back end is used. Alter the shapes of the
        structures in @file{../include/coff/foo.h} so that they match
        what you need. You will probably also have to add
        @code{#ifdef}s to the code in @file{coff/internal.h} and
        @file{coffcode.h} if your version of coff is too wild.

        You can verify that your new BFD backend works quite simply by
        building @file{objdump} from the @file{binutils} directory,
        and making sure that its version of what's going on and your
        host system's idea (assuming it has the pretty standard coff
        dump utility, usually called @code{att-dump} or just
        @code{dump}) are the same.  Then clean up your code, and send
        what you've done to Cygnus. Then your stuff will be in the
        next release, and you won't have to keep integrating it.

SUBSECTION
        How the coff backend works

SUBSUBSECTION
        File layout

        The Coff backend is split into generic routines that are
        applicable to any Coff target and routines that are specific
        to a particular target.  The target-specific routines are
        further split into ones which are basically the same for all
        Coff targets except that they use the external symbol format
        or use different values for certain constants.

        The generic routines are in @file{coffgen.c}.  These routines
        work for any Coff target.  They use some hooks into the target
        specific code; the hooks are in a @code{bfd_coff_backend_data}
        structure, one of which exists for each target.

        The essentially similar target-specific routines are in
        @file{coffcode.h}.  This header file includes executable C code.
        The various Coff targets first include the appropriate Coff
        header file, make any special defines that are needed, and
        then include @file{coffcode.h}.

        Some of the Coff targets then also have additional routines in
        the target source file itself.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Coff long section names

        In the standard Coff object format, section names are limited to
        the eight bytes available in the @code{s_name} field of the
        @code{SCNHDR} section header structure.  The format requires the
        field to be NUL-padded, but not necessarily NUL-terminated, so
        the longest section names permitted are a full eight characters.

        The Microsoft PE variants of the Coff object file format add
        an extension to support the use of long section names.  This
        extension is defined in section 4 of the Microsoft PE/COFF
        specification (rev 8.1).  If a section name is too long to fit
        into the section header's @code{s_name} field, it is instead
        placed into the string table, and the @code{s_name} field is
        filled with a slash ("/") followed by the ASCII decimal
        representation of the offset of the full name relative to the
        string table base.

        Note that this implies that the extension can only be used in object
        files, as executables do not contain a string table.  The standard
        specifies that long section names from objects emitted into executable
        images are to be truncated.

        However, as a GNU extension, BFD can generate executable images
        that contain a string table and long section names.  This
        would appear to be technically valid, as the standard only says
        that Coff debugging information is deprecated, not forbidden,
        and in practice it works, although some tools that parse PE files
        expecting the MS standard format may become confused; @file{PEview} is
        one known example.

        The functionality is supported in BFD by code implemented under
        the control of the macro @code{COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES}.  If not
        defined, the format does not support long section names in any way.
        If defined, it is used to initialise a flag,
        @code{_bfd_coff_long_section_names}, and a hook function pointer,
        @code{_bfd_coff_set_long_section_names}, in the Coff backend data
        structure.  The flag controls the generation of long section names
        in output BFDs at runtime; if it is false, as it will be by default
        when generating an executable image, long section names are truncated;
        if true, the long section names extension is employed.  The hook
        points to a function that allows the value of a copy of the flag
        in coff object tdata to be altered at runtime, on formats that
        support long section names at all; on other formats it points
        to a stub that returns an error indication.

        With input BFDs, the flag is set according to whether any long section
        names are detected while reading the section headers.  For a completely
        new BFD, the flag is set to the default for the target format.  This
        information can be used by a client of the BFD library when deciding
        what output format to generate, and means that a BFD that is opened
        for read and subsequently converted to a writeable BFD and modified
        in-place will retain whatever format it had on input.

        If @code{COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES} is simply defined (blank), or is
        defined to the value "1", then long section names are enabled by
        default; if it is defined to the value zero, they are disabled by
        default (but still accepted in input BFDs).  The header @file{coffcode.h}
        defines a macro, @code{COFF_DEFAULT_LONG_SECTION_NAMES}, which is
        used in the backends to initialise the backend data structure fields
        appropriately; see the comments for further detail.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Bit twiddling

        Each flavour of coff supported in BFD has its own header file
        describing the external layout of the structures. There is also
        an internal description of the coff layout, in
        @file{coff/internal.h}. A major function of the
        coff backend is swapping the bytes and twiddling the bits to
        translate the external form of the structures into the normal
        internal form. This is all performed in the
        @code{bfd_swap}_@i{thing}_@i{direction} routines. Some
        elements are different sizes between different versions of
        coff; it is the duty of the coff version specific include file
        to override the definitions of various packing routines in
        @file{coffcode.h}. E.g., the size of line number entry in coff is
        sometimes 16 bits, and sometimes 32 bits. @code{#define}ing
        @code{PUT_LNSZ_LNNO} and @code{GET_LNSZ_LNNO} will select the
        correct one. No doubt, some day someone will find a version of
        coff which has a varying field size not catered to at the
        moment. To port BFD, that person will have to add more @code{#defines}.
        Three of the bit twiddling routines are exported to
        @code{gdb}; @code{coff_swap_aux_in}, @code{coff_swap_sym_in}
        and @code{coff_swap_lineno_in}. @code{GDB} reads the symbol
        table on its own, but uses BFD to fix things up.  More of the
        bit twiddlers are exported for @code{gas};
        @code{coff_swap_aux_out}, @code{coff_swap_sym_out},
        @code{coff_swap_lineno_out}, @code{coff_swap_reloc_out},
        @code{coff_swap_filehdr_out}, @code{coff_swap_aouthdr_out},
        @code{coff_swap_scnhdr_out}. @code{Gas} currently keeps track
        of all the symbol table and reloc drudgery itself, thereby
        saving the internal BFD overhead, but uses BFD to swap things
        on the way out, making cross ports much safer.  Doing so also
        allows BFD (and thus the linker) to use the same header files
        as @code{gas}, which makes one avenue to disaster disappear.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Symbol reading

        The simple canonical form for symbols used by BFD is not rich
        enough to keep all the information available in a coff symbol
        table. The back end gets around this problem by keeping the original
        symbol table around, "behind the scenes".

        When a symbol table is requested (through a call to
        @code{bfd_canonicalize_symtab}), a request gets through to
        @code{coff_get_normalized_symtab}. This reads the symbol table from
        the coff file and swaps all the structures inside into the
        internal form. It also fixes up all the pointers in the table
        (represented in the file by offsets from the first symbol in
        the table) into physical pointers to elements in the new
        internal table. This involves some work since the meanings of
        fields change depending upon context: a field that is a
        pointer to another structure in the symbol table at one moment
        may be the size in bytes of a structure at the next.  Another
        pass is made over the table. All symbols which mark file names
        (<<C_FILE>> symbols) are modified so that the internal
        string points to the value in the auxent (the real filename)
        rather than the normal text associated with the symbol
        (@code{".file"}).

        At this time the symbol names are moved around. Coff stores
        all symbols less than nine characters long physically
        within the symbol table; longer strings are kept at the end of
        the file in the string table. This pass moves all strings
        into memory and replaces them with pointers to the strings.

        The symbol table is massaged once again, this time to create
        the canonical table used by the BFD application. Each symbol
        is inspected in turn, and a decision made (using the
        @code{sclass} field) about the various flags to set in the
        @code{asymbol}.  @xref{Symbols}. The generated canonical table
        shares strings with the hidden internal symbol table.

        Any linenumbers are read from the coff file too, and attached
        to the symbols which own the functions the linenumbers belong to.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Symbol writing

        Writing a symbol to a coff file which didn't come from a coff
        file will lose any debugging information. The @code{asymbol}
        structure remembers the BFD from which the symbol was taken, and on
        output the back end makes sure that the same destination target as
        source target is present.

        When the symbols have come from a coff file then all the
        debugging information is preserved.

        Symbol tables are provided for writing to the back end in a
        vector of pointers to pointers. This allows applications like
        the linker to accumulate and output large symbol tables
        without having to do too much byte copying.

        This function runs through the provided symbol table and
        patches each symbol marked as a file place holder
        (@code{C_FILE}) to point to the next file place holder in the
        list. It also marks each @code{offset} field in the list with
        the offset from the first symbol of the current symbol.

        Another function of this procedure is to turn the canonical
        value form of BFD into the form used by coff. Internally, BFD
        expects symbol values to be offsets from a section base; so a
        symbol physically at 0x120, but in a section starting at
        0x100, would have the value 0x20. Coff expects symbols to
        contain their final value, so symbols have their values
        changed at this point to reflect their sum with their owning
        section.  This transformation uses the
        <<output_section>> field of the @code{asymbol}'s
        @code{asection} @xref{Sections}.

        o <<coff_mangle_symbols>>

        This routine runs though the provided symbol table and uses
        the offsets generated by the previous pass and the pointers
        generated when the symbol table was read in to create the
        structured hierarchy required by coff. It changes each pointer
        to a symbol into the index into the symbol table of the asymbol.

        o <<coff_write_symbols>>

        This routine runs through the symbol table and patches up the
        symbols from their internal form into the coff way, calls the
        bit twiddlers, and writes out the table to the file.

             AIX loader checks the text section alignment of (vma - filepos),
             and the native linker doesn't try to align the text sections.
             For example:

             0 .text         000054cc  10000128  10000128  00000128  2**5

      I have found no documentation on the contents of this section.
      Experimentation indicates that the section contains zero or more
      records, each of which has the following structure:

      - a (four byte) word holding the length of this record, in words,
      - a word that always seems to be set to "2",
      - the path to a shared library, null-terminated and then padded
        to a whole word boundary.

      bfd_assert calls have been added to alert if an attempt is made
      to write a section which doesn't follow these assumptions.  The
      code has been tested on ISC 4.1 by me, and on SCO by Robert Lipe

SUBSUBSECTION
        Reading linenumbers

        Creating the linenumber table is done by reading in the entire
        coff linenumber table, and creating another table for internal use.

        A coff linenumber table is structured so that each function
        is marked as having a line number of 0. Each line within the
        function is an offset from the first line in the function. The
        base of the line number information for the table is stored in
        the symbol associated with the function.

        Note: The PE format uses line number 0 for a flag indicating a
        new source file.

        The information is copied from the external to the internal
        table, and each symbol which marks a function is marked by
        pointing its...

/*
SUBSUBSECTION
        Reading relocations

        Coff relocations are easily transformed into the internal BFD form
        (@code{arelent}).

        Reading a coff relocation table is done in the following stages:

        o Read the entire coff relocation table into memory.

        o Process each relocation in turn; first swap it from the
        external to the internal form.

        o Turn the symbol referenced in the relocation's symbol index
        into a pointer into the canonical symbol table.
        This table is the same as the one returned by a call to
        @code{bfd_canonicalize_symtab}. The back end will call that
        routine and save the result if a canonicalization hasn't been done.

        o The reloc index is turned into a pointer to a howto
        structure, in a back end specific way. For instance, the 386
        uses the @code{r_type} to directly produce an index
        into a howto table vector.

        o Note that @code{arelent.addend} for COFF is often not what
        most people understand as a relocation addend, but rather an
        adjustment to the relocation addend stored in section contents
        of relocatable object files.  The value found in section
        contents may also be confusing, depending on both symbol value
        and addend somewhat similar to the field value for a
        final-linked object.  See @code{CALC_ADDEND}.
