Mark Wielaard | cf65ca1 | 2018-06-01 21:16:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 110 | Version 0.171 |
| 111 | |
| 112 | DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, are supported now. |
| 113 | Data can be read from the new DWARF sections .debug_addr, .debug_line_str, |
| 114 | .debug_loclists, .debug_str_offsets and .debug_rnglists. Plus the new |
| 115 | DWARF5 and GNU DebugFission encodings of the existing .debug sections. |
| 116 | Also in split DWARF .dwo (DWARF object) files. This support is mostly |
| 117 | handled by existing functions (dwarf_getlocation*, dwarf_getsrclines, |
| 118 | dwarf_ranges, dwarf_form*, etc.) now returning the data from the new |
| 119 | sections and data formats. But some new functions have been added |
| 120 | to more easily get information about skeleton and split compile units |
| 121 | (dwarf_get_units and dwarf_cu_info), handle new attribute data |
| 122 | (dwarf_getabbrevattr_data) and to keep references to Dwarf_Dies |
| 123 | that might come from different sections or files (dwarf_die_addr_die). |
| 124 | |
| 125 | Not yet supported are .dwp (Dwarf Package) and .sup (Dwarf Supplementary) |
| 126 | files, the .debug_names index, the .debug_cu_index and .debug_tu_index |
| 127 | sections. Only a single .debug_info (and .debug_types) section are |
| 128 | currently handled. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | readelf: Handle all new DWARF5 sections. |
| 131 | --debug-dump=info+ will show split unit DIEs when found. |
| 132 | --dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file. |
| 133 | Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc. |
| 134 | |
| 135 | libdw: New functions dwarf_die_addr_die, dwarf_get_units, |
| 136 | dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info. |
| 137 | libdw will now try to resolve the alt file on first use of |
| 138 | an alt attribute FORM when not set yet with dwarf_set_alt. |
| 139 | dwarf_aggregate_size() now works with multi-dimensional arrays. |
| 140 | |
| 141 | libdwfl: Use process_vm_readv when available instead of ptrace. |
| 142 | |
| 143 | backends: Add a RISC-V backend. |
| 144 | |
| 145 | There were various improvements to build on Windows. |
| 146 | The sha1 and md5 implementations have been removed, they weren't used. |

| 1353 | Implement creating of .gnu.version_r and .gnu.version sections. The |
| 1354 | .gnu.version does not yet contain correct info for defined and versioned |
| 1355 | symbols (means .gnu.version_d is not yet implemented). |
| 1356 | |
| 1357 | Implement gelf_update_* functions to create versioning data. |
| 1358 | |
| 1359 | Version 0.34: |

| 1398 | |
| 1399 | Implement section groups. This involved a lot of code moving. The |
| 1400 | new code is entirely untested since gas/gcc are currently not able to |
| 1401 | create section groups. ld works fine on files without section groups. |
| 1402 | |
| 1403 | Version 0.28: |
| 1404 | |

| 1407 | |
| 1408 | Fix elf_getdata with nonzero second parameter. Correctly handle creation |
| 1409 | of internal data buffer for machines without unaligned access. |

| 1441 | |
| 1442 | Fix a number of errors in ELF_C_WRITE handling. |
| 1443 | |
| 1444 | Almost finished implementation of ld -r. The data sections are all copied. |
| 1445 | Handling of symbol tables is missing. |
| 1446 | |
| 1447 | Version 0.22: |
| 1448 | |
| 1449 | Handle DSO and archive input files correctly if -r option is given. |

| 1451 | Gracefully deal with no phdr in new file in libelf. |
| 1452 | Fix various small error handling problems. |
| 1453 | Don't mmap file for output unless the command says so. |
| 1454 | |
| 1455 | Add code to create ELF section header table to ld finalize routines. |
| 1456 | |
| 1457 | Version 0.21: |
| 1458 | |

| 1468 | Handle XINDEX correctly in nm and string. |
| 1469 | |
| 1470 | Add first machine ld backend library (i386). |

| 1480 | |
| 1481 | Implement reading version script. Both inside linker scripts and via the |
| 1482 | --version-script command line parameter. Uses the same code. |
| 1483 | What remains to be done is to implement a data structure which allows |
| 1484 | efficient matching against the version names to decide which pattern |
| 1485 | matches. |
| 1486 | |
| 1487 | Beginning of output generation and output writing functions. |
| 1488 | |

| 1504 | |
| 1505 | Version 0.16: |

| 1516 | Allow pagesize to be specified in linker script or on the command line. |
| 1517 | Collect input sections in list for the output section according to the rules |
| 1518 | specified in the linker script. |
| 1519 | |
| 1520 | Version 0.14: |
| 1521 | |
| 1522 | Fix some problems in the internal list handling which had the result |
| 1523 | that we didn't look for some of the unresolved symbols. |
| 1524 | |
| 1525 | Free some memory if we know we don't need it anymore. |
| 1526 | |
| 1527 | Optimize the list of unresolved symbols. Throw out symbols which are |
| 1528 | meanwhile resolved. |

| 1532 | Got file reading correct now. The files are all read while parsing |
| 1533 | the parameters. No creating of data structures to describe the linker |
| 1534 | command line. The symbol table is built up while reading the files. |
