SECTION

        Symbols

        BFD tries to maintain as much symbol information as it can when

        it moves information from file to file. BFD passes information

        to applications though the <<asymbol>> structure. When the

        application requests the symbol table, BFD reads the table in

        the native form and translates parts of it into the internal

        format. To maintain more than the information passed to

        applications, some targets keep some information ``behind the

        scenes'' in a structure only the particular back end knows

        about. For example, the coff back end keeps the original

        symbol table structure as well as the canonical structure when

        a BFD is read in. On output, the coff back end can reconstruct

        the output symbol table so that no information is lost, even

        information unique to coff which BFD doesn't know or

        understand. If a coff symbol table were read, but were written

        through an a.out back end, all the coff specific information

        would be lost. The symbol table of a BFD

        is not necessarily read in until a canonicalize request is

        made. Then the BFD back end fills in a table provided by the

        application with pointers to the canonical information.  To

        output symbols, the application provides BFD with a table of

        pointers to pointers to <<asymbol>>s. This allows applications

        like the linker to output a symbol as it was read, since the ``behind

        the scenes'' information will be still available.

SUBSECTION

        Reading symbols

        There are two stages to reading a symbol table from a BFD:

        allocating storage, and the actual reading process. This is an

        excerpt from an application which reads the symbol table:

|         long storage_needed;

|         asymbol **symbol_table;

|         long number_of_symbols;

|         long i;

|

|         storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound (abfd);

|

|         if (storage_needed < 0)

|           FAIL

|

|         if (storage_needed == 0) {

|            return ;

|         }

|         symbol_table = (asymbol **) xmalloc (storage_needed);

|           ...

|         number_of_symbols =

|            bfd_canonicalize_symtab (abfd, symbol_table);

|

|         if (number_of_symbols < 0)

|           FAIL

|

|         for (i = 0; i < number_of_symbols; i++) {

|            process_symbol (symbol_table[i]);

|         }

        All storage for the symbols themselves is in an objalloc

        connected to the BFD; it is freed when the BFD is closed.

SUBSECTION

        Writing symbols

        Writing of a symbol table is automatic when a BFD open for

        writing is closed. The application attaches a vector of

        pointers to pointers to symbols to the BFD being written, and

        fills in the symbol count. The close and cleanup code reads

        through the table provided and performs all the necessary

        operations. The BFD output code must always be provided with an

        ``owned'' symbol: one which has come from another BFD, or one

        which has been created using <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>.  Here is an

        example showing the creation of a symbol table with only one element:

|       #include "bfd.h"

|       main()

|       {

|         bfd *abfd;

|         asymbol *ptrs[2];

|         asymbol *new;

|

|         abfd = bfd_openw("foo","a.out-sunos-big");

|         bfd_set_format(abfd, bfd_object);

|         new = bfd_make_empty_symbol(abfd);

|         new->name = "dummy_symbol";

|         new->section = bfd_make_section_old_way(abfd, ".text");

|         new->flags = BSF_GLOBAL;

|         new->value = 0x12345;

|

|         ptrs[0] = new;

|         ptrs[1] = (asymbol *)0;

|

|         bfd_set_symtab(abfd, ptrs, 1);

|         bfd_close(abfd);

|       }

|

|       ./makesym

|       nm foo

|       00012345 A dummy_symbol

        Many formats cannot represent arbitary symbol information; for

        instance, the <<a.out>> object format does not allow an

        arbitary number of sections. A symbol pointing to a section

        which is not one  of <<.text>>, <<.data>> or <<.bss>> cannot

        be described.

INODE

Mini Symbols, typedef asymbol, Writing Symbols, Symbols

SUBSECTION

        Mini Symbols

        Mini symbols provide read-only access to the symbol table.

        They use less memory space, but require more time to access.

        They can be useful for tools like nm or objdump, which may

        have to handle symbol tables of extremely large executables.

        The <<bfd_read_minisymbols>> function will read the symbols

        into memory in an internal form.  It will return a <<void *>>

        pointer to a block of memory, a symbol count, and the size of

        each symbol.  The pointer is allocated using <<malloc>>, and

        should be freed by the caller when it is no longer needed.

        The function <<bfd_minisymbol_to_symbol>> will take a pointer

        to a minisymbol, and a pointer to a structure returned by

        <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>, and return a <<asymbol>> structure.

        The return value may or may not be the same as the value from

        <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>> which was passed in.
