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

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