        (elf32_hppa_read_symext_info): Kludge.  Turn off SEC_HAS_CONTENTS
        for all the input symbol extension sections to keep the generic

        the symbol extension section.

        section containing the symbol.
        (som_slurp_symbol_type): Set BSF_FUNCTION for undefined ST_STUB

        for the number of symbols, but only write them out if
        bfd_get_symcount is non-zero.  Don't check obj_raw_syment_count
        until after coff_write_symbols is called.
        (coff_slurp_symbol_table): Use obj_raw_syment_count, not
        bfd_get_symcount for the number of symbols.  Don't set

        relocs when allocating space for relocations.  Set SEC_RELOC flag
        for any section which has relocs.  Handle link_order relocs in
        link_order loop.  Use _bfd_generic_link_add_symbols_collect for
        add_symbls entry point.

        * linker.c (_bfd_generic_final_link): Set reloc_count to 0 before

        from call to _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol.
        (_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol): Remove bitsize argument.

        instead of bitsize to add_to_set call back.
        (_bfd_generic_final_link): Account for link_order relocs when
        allocating space for relocations.  Handle them in link_order loop.
        (_bfd_generic_reloc_link_order): New function.

Sun Mar 20 09:24:36 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  ([email protected])

        * bfd/som.c (som_begin_writing): Fix thinko (off by one error).

        * som.c (bfd_section_from_som_symbol): Only to do the value
        comparison for function symbols within executables.

        * som.c (bfd_section_from_som_symbol): Renamed from
        som_section_from_subspace_index.  Pass in a native SOM symbol.
        For executables, iterate through the sections to find out
        which contains the symbol's address rather than using the
        symbol_info field.  (symbol_info has a different meaning for
        dynamicly linked executables.)

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_core_file_p): Don't pass abfd to
        bfd_zmalloc.

        * som.c (som_begin_writing): Fix braino (one call to align
        space/subspace data was done unconditionally rather than
        just for executables.)

        * som.c (som_begin_writing): Align text in all executables to
        make HPUX kernel happy.  Fixes strip/objcopy for shared
        executables.

Sat Mar 19 07:06:59 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  ([email protected])

        * som.c (som_begin_writing): Account for alignment needs of
        subspaces too when writing executables.  Never request a negative
        bss size.  Fixes some problems with demand paged executables,
        still having problems with pure executables and shared executables.

Fri Mar 18 19:12:47 1994  Jim Kingdon  ([email protected])

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_core_file_p): Call bfd_zmalloc not
        bfd_zalloc for rawptr, because later on we may call free, not
        bfd_release, on it.

        * bfd.c (struct _bfd): Add cisco_core_struct to tdata union.
        * libbfd.c (bfd_read, bfd_seek): Add comments regarding errors.
        * cisco-core.c: New file.
        * Makefile.in: Change accordingly.
        * configure.in: Recognize cisco_core_vec.
        * config/m68k-aout.mt (SELECT_VECS): Add cisco_core_vec.
        * targets.c: Add cisco_core_vec.
        * bfd-in2.h: Rebuilt.

Fri Mar 18 18:13:49 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  ([email protected])

        * som.h (som_copyable_section_data_struct): New structure
        containing all the private section information which needs
        to be copied from input section to output section during
        objcopy or strip.
        (som_section_data_struct): Remove several fields now in
        som_copyable_section_data_struct.  Make the space and 
        subspace dictionaries be pointers (to save space when
        only reading objects).

        * som.c (bfd_som_set_section_attributes): Now returns a boolean;
        some references changed.  Allocate a copyable data stucture if
        none exists.  Store info into the copyable data structure.
        (bfd_som_set_subsection_attributes): Likewise.
        (som_is_space, som_is_subspace, som_is_container): New functions.
        Use these instead of directly accessing private data.
        (som_prep_headers): Allocate space and subspace headers here.
        Fill in some fields in the space/subspace headers from the
        copyable data.
        (som_bfd_copy_private_section_data): Only copy the stuff
        that we really need to make objcopy and strip work.  Allocate
        the copy_data structure for the output bfd before copying.

        * som.h (struct som_exec_data): New structure to hold exec
        info that must be preserved when running objcopy/strip.
        (struct somdata): Add new "exec_data" field and accessor
        macro.  Add some comments on how the various fields are used.
        (som_section_data_struct): Make is_space and is_subspace bitfields.
        Delete unused subspace_index.  All references now use the
        target_index field within the section structure itself.

        * som.c (make_unique_section): Delete unused declaration.
        (som_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data): New function.
        (som_object_setup): Allocate space for and save exec information
        that needs to be copied during objcopy/strip.
        (som_mkobject): Do not allocate space for a file header here.
        It is not used when only reading SOM objects.
        (som_prep_headers): Allocate space for and attach a file header
        to the output bfd.  For executables, use the saved system_id
        value rather than trying to guess the right value.  Do not abort
        wwhen setting file_hdr->entry* for executables.
        (som_begin_writing): For executables, set the exec_entry and
        exec_flags fields.
        (som_copy_private_backend_section_data): Always return a value.

        * libhppa.h (PA_PAGESIZE): Define.

        * som.c (SOM_ALIGN): Define.
        (som_begin_writing): If writing an executable, initialize all
        fields in the exec header to zero.  Update fields in the exec
        header as sizes of loadable subspaces are computed.  Carefully
        preserve alignments when building executables.  Actually write the
        exec after all the fields are filled in.

        * Better long-filename handling.  Reads SOM ABI compliant extended
        names, but doesn't quite write compliant extended names yet.
        * som.c (som_slurp_extended_name_table): Delete function.  The
        generic code will handle things correctly.
        (som_slurp_armap): Seek to the beginning of the next member.
        (normalize): New function.
        (som_bfd_ar_write_symbol_stuff): Take the size of the extended
        name table into account when computing the file offsets in the
        SOM dictionary.  Make sure to align to an even boundary.
        (som_write_armap): Initialize the checksum to zero.
        (ar_maxchars): Fix.  Opps.

Fri Mar 18 20:35:24 1994  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

        * aoutx.h (reloc_type_lookup): Handle BFD_RELOC_CTOR on a 64-bit
        machine.  Handle BFD_RELOC_SPARC13 and BFD_RELOC_SPARC_BASE13.

Thu Mar 17 18:26:46 1994  Ken Raeburn  ([email protected])

        * bfd-in.h (BFD_VERSION): Use @VERSION@.
        * Makefile.in (bfd.h): Replace it with contents of VERSION file.
        * bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.

        * trad-core.c (trad_unix_bfd_is_local_label): Fixed typo where
        this was also named trad_unix_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data.

Thu Mar 17 10:37:07 1994  Jim Kingdon  ([email protected])

        * aoutx.h, elfcode.h, coff-alpha.c, bout.c, ecoff.c, ecofflink.c,
        elf32-hppa.c, elf32-mips.c, linker.c, som.c, sunos.c: If malloc(0)
        returns NULL, it is not an error.  It's possible that some of
        these checks are not necessary (because the size can never be
        zero), but putting in the checks is the conservative thing to do
        in light of the fact that some of these malloc calls replaced
        unchecked alloca calls, in which a zero argument would work fine.

Thu Mar 17 11:44:45 1994  Ian Lance Taylor  ([email protected])

        * osf-core.c (osf_core_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data): Remove
        duplicate definition.
        (osf_core_bfd_is_local_label): Define.

        * reloc.c (bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents): Don't fail
        if malloc (0) fails.  bfd_canonicalize_reloc returning 0 is not a
        failure indication, it merely means there are no relocs.

        * elfcode.h (NAME(bfd_elf,write_object_contents)): Don't use space
        after NAME, since SunOS /bin/cc can't handle it.

Wed Mar 16 16:43:33 1994  David J. Mackenzie  ([email protected])

        * netbsd386.c (N_SET_FLAGS): Don't nuke the machine id field.
        From [email protected] (Tasuki Hirata).

Wed Mar 16 07:55:54 1994  Jim Kingdon  ([email protected])

        * aoutf1.h (4 places): Use a simple #if on ARCH_SIZE, rather than
        all that convoluted stuff with NAME, CAT3, etc.  The convoluted
        stuff broke for SunOS4 /bin/cc (due to DEFUN elimination, I guess).

Wed Mar 16 00:02:05 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  ([email protected])

        * som.c (som_prep_for_fixups): Detect section symbols based
        on either the lack of private data or the symbol flags.  Do not
        munge section symbol names anymore -- they no longer confuse GDB.
        (som_begin_writing): Leave space for an exec header if writing
        an executable.
        (som_slurp_symbol_table): Recognize both forms of section symbol
        names "L$0\002" and "$<FOO>$".  Change the name of "L$0\002"
        section symbols to be the name of the section they represent.
        Debugging  symbols begin with "L$0\001", not just "L$".

Tue Mar 15 22:58:28 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  ([email protected])

        * bfd-in2.h, libbfd.h, libcoff.h: Rebuilt.

        * bfd-in.h (JUMP_TABLE): Add new entries to the jump table
        for bfd_copy_private_section_data, bfd_copy_private_bfd_data,

        libaout.h, libecoff.h, nlm-target.h, oasys.c, srec.c, tekhex.c
        Default new vectors for copying private backend data to bfd_true.
        Default new vector for determining if a symbol is a local label
        to bfd_generic_is_local_label.

        * som.c (som_bfd_copy_private_section_data): New function.
        (som_bfd_is_local_label): New function.
        (som_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data): For now default to bfd_true.

        * elf32-hppa.c (hppa_elf_is_local_label): New function.

Tue Mar 15 23:55:47 1994  Ian Lance Taylor  ([email protected])

        * cf-m68klynx.c (CALC_ADDEND): Use _bfd_m68klynx_howto_table.

Tue Mar 15 04:41:13 1994  David J. Mackenzie  ([email protected])

        * Most files:
        Replace DEFUN and DEFUN_VOID with K&R-style function definition.
        Indent some of them to GNU standards.

        Update copyright years.

Mon Mar 14 11:41:23 1994  Jeffrey A. Law  ([email protected])

        * som.c (som_prep_for_fixups): A relocation involving the section
        symbol for the *ABS* section is really a relocation involving
        no symbol.
        (som_slurp_symbol_table): Do not set BSF_GLOBAL or BSF_EXPORT for
        undefined symbols.  Correctly distinguish between debugger symbols
        and section symbols.

        * som (setup_sections): Set SEC_DEBUGGING and the section attributes
        for spaces and subspaces.

        * som.c (som_bfd_count_ar_symbols): Fix typo.

        * som.c (som_object_setup): Set EXEC_P, D_PAGED, WP_TEXT, and
        HAS_RELOC based on the object's magic number.
        (make_unique_section): Delete function.  BFD and its users are
        prepared to handle multiple sections with the same name.
        (setup_sections): Allocate space on the BFD's obstack to hold
        section names.  Use bfd_make_setion_anyway rather than the
        obsolete make_unique_section.
        (som_prep_headers): Choose the correct SOM magic number based
        on the BFD's flags.
        (som_bfd_fill_in_ar_symbols): Return false, not NULL on error.

        recovery of the dynamic info from a stripped executable.
        * ecoff.c (ecoff_styp_to_sec_flags):  Handle STYP_PDATA, STYP_XDATA

        * libbfd-in.h: Remove alloca cruft.  It was missing some necessary
        cruft (like the #pragma alloca for AIX).
        In addition to that problem, the C alloca calls xmalloc, which
        means checking for being out of memory can't work right.  The
        following changes remove all uses of alloca from BFD.
        * hosts/solaris2.h: Remove alloca cruft.
        * som.c: Replace alloca with a fixed size auto array.

        COMPLEX relocation support (it's never used anyway).

        Make all callers of malloc or realloc (including via obstacks)

        STYP_INFO for the type of a section named .debug.

        (coff_write_object_contents): If RS6000COFF_C, don't call

        bfd_coff_symname_in_debug returns true, don't put symbol name in

        debug_string_size is not 0, check that it matches the size of the
        .debug section.
        (coff_get_normalized_symtab): Clear new fix_value and fix_scnlen
        fields.  If the string offset is 0, always use an empty string as
        the name.
        (coff_make_empty_symbol): Zero out the symbol structure.
        * reloc.c (bfd_perform_relocation): Work around one gross hack

        BFD_RELOC_PPC_BA26 and BFD_RELOC_PPC_TOC16.
