- Removed separate ELF section names for PIC. The only difference was .data named .data.rel; however .rel suffix has nothing to do with PIC. It only signifies that the section has relocations so such sections can be grouped together in output file and reduce number of pages for dynamic linker to visit while resolving the relocations at load time. At the same time, no existing link scripts distinguish between .rel and any other suffix (except .rel.ro, but it's a different story), meaning that long section names will break .rel grouping.
While support for .data.rel can be added similar to existing rodata handling (separate sec_data and sec_data_norel sections), this doesn't seem worth the trouble.

* Simplified .shstrtab handling between passes by using oso_debug_copy attribute on it.
- Don't recreate segment mapping: only debug sections are removed between passes, and they are never part of any segment.
git-svn-id: trunk@22914 -
+ Read .gnu.version sections and ignore local symbols and symbols with non-current version.
+ Check that external symbols are actually present in dynamic objects.

x86_64 is the most elaborated, has some degree of indirect function (GNU_IFUNC) and TLS support, so it is even able to link with static libc/pthreads code (tw14265) and produce an executable that can launch (but still fails due to invalid DWARF unwind info).
i386 produces working shared libraries if they are compiled with -Cg, without one your mileage may vary. tw14265 does not link yet due to missing COMDAT group support.
git-svn-id: trunk@22775 -
+ Added TObjSection.WriteBytes method that writes just a string (without zero byte).
* ogelf.pas: Fixed st_value of COMMON symbols, it must contain required symbol alignment.
+ ogelf.pas: Some more definitions.
git-svn-id: trunk@22332 -
+ Dedicated constructor TElfObjSection.create_reloc for relocation sections.
+ pass symbol name offset separately to TElfSymtab.writeSymbol, this is necessary for two-pass writing of dynamic symbol tables.
git-svn-id: trunk@21989 -
+ Store size of relocation and explicit addend in TObjRelocation (reusing 'orgsize' field for the latter). This removes need for reading addends back from section data, addends are stored in full 64 bits and therefore not truncated.
+ Relocation style is now controlled by relocs_use_addend variable instead of $ifdef's.
- Removed (never working) checks forbidding relocations of readonly sections. At the linking stage readonly sections *can* have relocations, executable stage is different matter to be handled elsewhere.
- removed ugly hack with mapping 32-bit absolute relocations to RELOC_RVA.
+ support 64-bit relative relocations.
* actualized list of x86_64 relocations.
git-svn-id: trunk@21662 -
* Factored values used in the ELF header into constants, so they can be reused when reading object files.
* Writing first 16 bytes of ELF header should be endian-neutral.
* Section symbols must have st_name equal to zero, using section shstridx is incorrect because it is an index into .shstrtab, not into .strtab (actually written content is unchanged, because section_write_symbol is called while shstridx is still zero).

that deal with paths/filenames with TPathStr (= ansistring) to prevent
cutting off long paths (no change in speed when compiling the compiler,
1% extra memory usage)
git-svn-id: trunk@21120 -
of the AVR-specific ifdef'ed variant
o since the only special character we use in mangled names on all platforms
is $, added a new field to tasminfo called "dollarsign" that holds the
character $'s should be replaced with (if it doesn't have to be replaced,
leave it at $)
git-svn-id: trunk@20801 -
+ parsing of section directive for variables
+ section test
+ write section names in the assembler/binary writers correctly
* allow section only after ; and for embedded targets
git-svn-id: branches/usersections@17154 -
* the objc unit links against the Foundation instead of against the Cocoa
framework, and inludes an interface to either the fragile or non-fragile
obj-c run time depending on the target platform
+ support for the non-fragile Objective-C runtime/ABI, as used on Mac OS X
for ARM (iPhone) 64 bit (PowerPC/64, x86_64) -- all these targets now
are now also supported for the objectivec1 modeswitch
+ support for private_extern symbol bindings, required for the above
* mark objcclasses that are declared in the implementation section of a
unit as "hidden" (not sure what the effect is, since the Objective-C
runtime does not seem to do anything with this flag)
* enabled all obj-c tests for the newly supported platforms
git-svn-id: branches/objc@13763 -
the use of Objective-C 1.0 constructs. Because it is a mode switch, it
can be used cumulatively with every syntax mode. Note that a {$mode xxx}
statement resets all mode switches as well, so you cannot use the
-Mobjectivec1 variant if you have such a statement in a unit. This
modeswitch is currently only enabled for Darwin/PowerPC and Darwin/i386,
as the backend support is not yet implemented for other platforms.
+ implemented selector() statement that can be used to create an Objective-C
selector for the message with the specified *constant* name (in the future,
it will also work for Objective-C method identifiers)
+ added SEL type to the system unit (the selector() statement returns it)
+ added all Objective-C segments to the assembler writers
+ (currently mostly dummy) objc1 unit that is automatically included if the
{$modeswitch objectivec1} statement is used
+ some tests for the selector() statement
