SECTION

|
Constructors
|
|
|
|
Classes in C++ have 'constructors' and 'destructors'. These
|
|
are functions which are called automatically by the language
|
|
whenever data of a class is created or destroyed. Class data
|
|
which is static data may also be have a type which requires
|
|
'construction', the contructor must be called before the data
|
|
can be referenced, so the contructor must be called before the
|
|
program begins.
|
|
|
|
The common solution to this problem is for the compiler to
|
|
call a magic function as the first statement <<main>>.
|
|
This magic function, (often called <<__main>>) runs around
|
|
calling the constructors for all the things needing it.
|
|
|
|
With COFF the compile has a bargain with the linker et al.
|
|
All constructors are given strange names, for example
|
|
<<__GLOBAL__$I$foo>> might be the label of a contructor for
|
|
the class @var{foo}. The solution on unfortunate systems
|
|
(most system V machines) is to perform a partial link on all
|
|
the .o files, do an <<nm>> on the result, run <<awk>> or some
|
|
such over the result looking for strange <<__GLOBAL__$>>
|
|
symbols, generate a C program from this, compile it and link
|
|
with the partially linked input. This process is usually
|
|
called <<collect>>.
|
|
|
|
Some versions of <<a.out>> use something called the
|
|
<<set_vector>> mechanism. The constructor symbols are output
|
|
from the compiler with a special stab code saying that they
|
|
are constructors, and the linker can deal with them directly.
|
|
|
|
BFD allows applications (ie the linker) to deal with
|
|
constructor information independently of their external
|
|
implimentation by providing a set of entry points for the
|
|
indiviual object back ends to call which maintains a database
|
|
of the contructor information. The application can
|
|
interrogate the database to find out what it wants. The
|
|
construction data essential for the linker to be able to
|
|
perform its job are:
|
|
|
|
o asymbol -
|
|
The asymbol of the contructor entry point contains all the
|
|
information necessary to call the function.
|
|
|
|
o table id -
|
|
The type of symbol, ie is it a contructor, a destructor or
|
|
something else someone dreamed up to make our lives difficult.
|
|
|
|
This module takes this information and then builds extra
|
|
sections attached to the bfds which own the entry points. It
|
|
creates these sections as if they were tables of pointers to
|
|
the entry points, and builds relocation entries to go with
|
|
them so that the tables can be relocated along with the data
|
|
they reference.
|
|
|
|
These sections are marked with a special bit
|
|
(<<SEC_CONSTRUCTOR>>) which the linker notices and do with
|
|
what it wants.

SYNOPSIS
|
|
void bfd_constructor_entry(bfd *abfd,

|

|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function is called with an a symbol describing the
|
|
function to be called, an string which descibes the xtor type,
|
|
eg something like "CTOR" or "DTOR" would be fine. And the bfd
|
|
which owns the function. Its duty is to create a section
|
|
called "CTOR" or "DTOR" or whatever if the bfd doesn't already
|
|
have one, and grow a relocation table for the entry points as
|
|
they accumulate.
