29 * FIXME Still needs support for shared libraries. *
30 * FIXME Still needs support for core files. *
31 * FIXME The ".debug" and ".line" section names are hardwired. *
32 * FIXME Still needs support ELF symbol tables (as distinct *
33 * from DWARF support). Can use them to build the misc *
34 * function vector at least. This is fairly trivial once *
35 * bfd is extended to handle ELF symbol tables. *

101 ADDR is the address relative to which the symbols in it are (e.g.
102 the base address of the text segment).
103
104 MAINLINE is true if we are reading the main symbol
105 table (as opposed to a shared lib or dynamically loaded file).
106
107 This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
108 user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
109 Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
110 symbol tables. When more extensive information is requested of a
111 file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
112 fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols
113 for real. The function dwarf_psymtab_to_symtab() is the function that
114 does this for DWARF symbols. */

174 Unlike other object file formats, where the debugging information format
175 is implied by the object file format, the ELF object file format and the
176 DWARF debugging information format are two distinct, and potentially
177 separate entities. I.E. it is perfectly possible to have ELF objects
178 with debugging formats other than DWARF. And it is conceivable that the
179 DWARF debugging format might be used with another object file format,
180 like COFF, by simply using COFF's custom section feature.
181
182 GDB, and to a lesser extent BFD, should support the notion of separate
183 object file formats and debugging information formats. For now, we just
184 use "elf" in the same sense as "a.out" or "coff", to imply both the ELF
185 object file format and the DWARF debugging format. */
