Things that still need to be done: -*- Text -*-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent
|
|
|
|
|
code is in a single bfd_target structure. Hence all the code
|
|
|
|
|
for *writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications
|
|
|
|
|
that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas
|
|
|
|
|
has to carry along all the unneded baggage for reading objects.
|
|
|
|
|
And so one. This would be a much more substantial change,
|
|
|
|
|
and the payoff would be less (essentially none if bfd is
|
|
|
|
|
used as a shared library).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly
|
|
|
|
|
needed. This may be difficult to do much about.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out
|
|
|
|
|
the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion.
