<h3 class="section">3.4 ELF backends</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>BFD support for ELF formats is being worked on.
|
||
|
|
Currently, the best supported back ends are for sparc and i386
|
||
|
|
(running svr4 or Solaris 2).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Documentation of the internals of the support code still needs
|
||
|
|
to be written. The code is changing quickly enough that we
|
||
|
|
haven't bothered yet.

<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>

<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
||
|
|
Helper functions for GDB to locate the string tables.
|
||
|
|
Since BFD hides string tables from callers, GDB needs to use an
|
||
|
|
internal hook to find them. Sun's .stabstr, in particular,
|
||
|
|
isn't even pointed to by the .stab section, so ordinary
|
||
|
|
mechanisms wouldn't work to find it, even if we had some.
