Bug #: 14136
Summary: I symbol missing in nm documentation
Product: binutils
Version: 2.22
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I see on an npi (libmpi.dll.a) library
d002278.o:
00000000 i .idata$4
00000000 i .idata$5
00000000 i .idata$6
00000000 i .idata$7
00000000 t .text
U __head_cygmpi_1_dll
00000000 I __imp__ompi_mpi_comm_world
00000000 I __nm__ompi_mpi_comm_world
but there is no "I" on the nm documentation :
---------------------------------------------------------------
"i" For PE format files this indicates that the symbol is in a
section specific to the implementation of DLLs. For ELF format
files this indicates that the symbol is an indirect function.
This is a GNU extension to the standard set of ELF symbol
types. It indicates a symbol which if referenced by a
relocation does not evaluate to its address, but instead must
be invoked at runtime. The runtime execution will then return
the value to be used in the relocation.
"N" The symbol is a debugging symbol.
---------------------------------------------------------------
on objdump documentation is reported:
I
i
The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol (I), a function to be
evaluated during reloc processing (i) or a normal symbol (a space).
Could nm documentation be updated, please ?
