@section Internal functions

@strong{Description}@*

These routines are used within BFD.

They are not intended for export, but are documented here for

completeness.

@findex bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int

@subsubsection @code{bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int}

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

void bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int(bfd *abfd,  int i);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Write a 4 byte integer @var{i} to the output BFD @var{abfd}, in big

endian order regardless of what else is going on.  This is useful in

archives.

@findex bfd_put_size

@subsubsection @code{bfd_put_size}

@findex bfd_get_size

@subsubsection @code{bfd_get_size}

@strong{Description}@*

These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in

sections; each access (except for bytes) is vectored through

the target format of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The

mangling performs any necessary endian translations and

removes alignment restrictions.  Note that types accepted and

returned by these macros are identical so they can be swapped

around in macros---for example, @file{libaout.h} defines @code{GET_WORD}

to either @code{bfd_get_32} or @code{bfd_get_64}.

In the put routines, @var{val} must be a @code{bfd_vma}.  If we are on a

system without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making

sure that is true, with a cast if necessary.  We don't cast

them in the macro definitions because that would prevent @code{lint}

or @code{gcc -Wall} from detecting sins such as passing a pointer.

To detect calling these with less than a @code{bfd_vma}, use

@code{gcc -Wconversion} on a host with 64 bit @code{bfd_vma}'s.

@findex bfd_h_put_size

@subsubsection @code{bfd_h_put_size}

@strong{Description}@*

These macros have the same function as their @code{bfd_get_x}

bretheren, except that they are used for removing information

for the header records of object files. Believe it or not,

some object files keep their header records in big endian

order and their data in little endian order.

@example

/* Byte swapping macros for file header data.  */

#define bfd_h_put_8(abfd, val, ptr) \

               bfd_put_8 (abfd, val, ptr)

               bfd_put_8 (abfd, val, ptr)

#define bfd_h_get_8(abfd, ptr) \

               bfd_get_8 (abfd, ptr)

#define bfd_h_get_signed_8(abfd, ptr) \

               bfd_get_signed_8 (abfd, ptr)

#define bfd_h_put_16(abfd, val, ptr) \

                BFD_SEND(abfd, bfd_h_putx16,(val,ptr))

#define bfd_h_put_signed_16 \

                bfd_h_put_16

#define bfd_h_get_16(abfd, ptr) \

                BFD_SEND(abfd, bfd_h_getx16,(ptr))

#define bfd_h_get_signed_16(abfd, ptr) \

                BFD_SEND(abfd, bfd_h_getx_signed_16, (ptr))

#define bfd_h_put_32(abfd, val, ptr) \

                BFD_SEND(abfd, bfd_h_putx32,(val,ptr))

@findex bfd_log2

@strong{Synopsis}

@example

unsigned int bfd_log2(bfd_vma x);

@end example

@strong{Description}@*

Return the log base 2 of the value supplied, rounded up.  E.g., an

@var{x} of 1025 returns 11.
