| Version 0.171 |
| |
| DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, are supported now. |
| Data can be read from the new DWARF sections .debug_addr, .debug_line_str, |
| .debug_loclists, .debug_str_offsets and .debug_rnglists. Plus the new |
| DWARF5 and GNU DebugFission encodings of the existing .debug sections. |
| Also in split DWARF .dwo (DWARF object) files. This support is mostly |
| handled by existing functions (dwarf_getlocation*, dwarf_getsrclines, |
| dwarf_ranges, dwarf_form*, etc.) now returning the data from the new |
| sections and data formats. But some new functions have been added |
| to more easily get information about skeleton and split compile units |
| (dwarf_get_units and dwarf_cu_info), handle new attribute data |
| (dwarf_getabbrevattr_data) and to keep references to Dwarf_Dies |
| that might come from different sections or files (dwarf_die_addr_die). |
| |
| Not yet supported are .dwp (Dwarf Package) and .sup (Dwarf Supplementary) |
| files, the .debug_names index, the .debug_cu_index and .debug_tu_index |
| sections. Only a single .debug_info (and .debug_types) section are |
| currently handled. |

| efficient matching against the version names to decide which pattern |
| matches. |
| |
| Beginning of output generation and output writing functions. |
| |
| Version 0.18: |
| |
| Finish implementation for DSO input file handling. Implement rpath, runpath, |
| and LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling. |
| |
| Version 0.17: |
| |
| make handling of e_shnum overflow in libelf standard conforming |
| |

| Free some memory if we know we don't need it anymore. |
| |
| Optimize the list of unresolved symbols. Throw out symbols which are |
| meanwhile resolved. |
| |

| Got file reading correct now. The files are all read while parsing |
| the parameters. No creating of data structures to describe the linker |
| command line. The symbol table is built up while reading the files. |
| DSOs are handled now. -( -) handling is optimized. |
| |
| Version 0.12: |
| |
| Linker read linker scripts everywhere. Handles --whole-archive. Recognizes |
| --dynamic and --static. Collects defined and undefined symbols. Recognizes |
| conflicts. |
