------- Additional Comments From ian at airs dot com 2008-03-10 19:04 ------- Don't confuse the notion of section index with the special codes between SHN_LORESERVE and SHN_HIRESERVE. Those special codes are used in the st_shndx field of a Sym structure. They are not meaningful elsewhere--in particular they are not meaningful in the sh_link field of section header zero. The GNU binutils get that link field wrong when it needs to be larger than 0xffff.
When the special code SHN_XINDEX is used, the ABI is explicit that the SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX section holds the section header index. The GNU binutils store the wrong values in the SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX section. I don't know of anything else that the GNU binutils get wrong. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5900 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
