    (get_opcode and opcode defines): Move into libhppa.h
    * elf32-hppa.c (hppa_elf_insn2fmt): Rename and move info
    libhppa.h.
    * libhppa.h (HPPA_R_*): Moved here.  Reformatted slightly to make
    for easier reading.
    (get_opcode): Moved here.  FIXME! this really should be a C function
    inside the opcode library!
    (bfd_hppa_insn2fmt): Likewise.

    * targets.c (target_vector): Enable elf32-hppa vector.

    * elf32-hppa.c (hppa_elf_get_section_contents): Add new comments
    and clarify existing comments.  Do not use DEFUN to declare this

    where symbol extension section may need to be read from disk,
    read from memory, or built then read from memory.

    formatting and indention problems gnu-indent can not handle.
    Clarify some comments about relocation types.  Comment basic
    relocation "classes".  Group PARAM declarations together.
    (HPPA_SXT_{NULL, SYMNDX, RG_RELOC}): Make members of a new
    enumerated type rather than #defines.

Tue Oct 26 02:40:46 1993  Stu Grossman  (grossman at cygnus.com)

    Fix up warnings from gcc -Wall:
    * coffgen.c (coff_print_symbol): Use %lx and cast n_value to

    (ecoff_print_symbol): Use %ld, and cast indx and sym_base to long.
    * coffcode.h (dummy_reloc16_estimate): Specify return type.

    * libbfd.c (bfd_write): If not everything is written out, set

    non-negative, set errno to ENOSPC (if ENOSPC is defined).
    (bfd_seek): If the seek fails, set bfd_error to system_call_error.
    (bfd_generic_set_section_contents): For a bad offset + count, set

Thu Oct 21 12:16:26 1993  Ken Raeburn  ([e-mail])

    * elfcode.h (FILE_ALIGN): Renamed from EALIGN, to avoid conflict
    with Ultrix header files.

    * som.h (struct som_section_data_struct): Renamed from
    som_section_data to avoid conflict with macro by that name.

    Changes from Jeff Law and Peter Hoogenboom at Utah:

    * elf32-hppa.c (hppa_elf_reloc):  Target register for a 'jump
    in delay slot' optimization in combination with a long call
    stub should always be r31.

    * elf32-hppa.c: (hppa_elf_relocate_insn): To be consistent
    across all relocation types, retrieve instruction addends from
    the relocation entry rather than from the instruction itself.

    * elf32-hppa.c: (hppa_elf_relocate_insn): Fix a relocation
    error that only occurred when the addend of an 'addil' or
    'ldil' was larger than 21 bits and very close to a 2K byte
    boundary.

    * elf32-hppa.c: (hppa_elf_reloc):  Handle the optimization in
    which a jump is placed in the delay slot of a function call.
    The jump was being accomplished via an adjustment to the
    return pointer.  This optimization would break the long call
    stub code, if there was any.

    * elf32-hppa.c: (hppa_elf_build_long_branch_stub): Corrections
    to long branch stubs to avoid use of general register 2.

    * hppa_stubs.h: New stub instructions.

    * elfcode.h: Declare bfd_elf_find_section.

    * som.h (som_section_data): Add new "subspace_index" field.

    * som.c (setup_sections): Save the original SOM subspace index
    in the BFD section associated with that subspace.
    (som_get_symtab_upper_bound): Implement.
    (som_get_symtab): Implement.
    (som_print_symbol): Implement.
    (som_slurp_string_table): New function to read a string table
    from a SOM object file.
    (som_section_from_subspace_index): New function to return the
    section which corresponds to a SOM subspace index.
    (som_slurp_symbol_table): New function to read the symbol
    table from a SOM object file.
    (som_make_empty_symbol): Check for errors from bfd_zalloc.
    (som_new_section_hook): Initialize subspace_index field to
    -1 instead of 0.

    * som.c (som_object_setup): Fix polarity of test to set HAS_RELOC.
    Set EXEC_P for executables.
    (setup_sections): Correctly identify when a section has
    relocations.
    (log2): New function.
    (setup_sections): Correctly convert between SOM alignments and BFD
    alignments.

    * som.c (setup_sections): Do not set SEC_ALLOC or SEC_LOAD
    for sections which correspond to SOM spaces, doing so confuses
    many utilities.  Set assorted SEC_* flags for SOM subspaces
    which correspond to BFD sections.

    * elf32-hppa.c: (elf32_hppa_backend_fake_sections): The stab
    string table should have sh_type == SHT_STRTAB.  Add
    processing to make it so.

    * elfcode.h: (bfd_section_from_shdr): String tables (other
    than .strtab) were not getting the file offsets recorded, so
    they could not be read from disk.

    * elfcode.h: (elf_make_sections):  Leave the sh_addr field of
    the section header and the vma field of a section at 0 if the
    section is not part of the program execution image. (e.g.,
    .stab)

    * som.[hc]: Change target vector prefix from "hppa" to "som".
    Consistently use obj_som prefix to access fields in backend data
    structures.  Fix all callers/references.

    * som.h: Do not include files only needed for core file reading here.
    Include a.out for both HOST_HPPAHPUX and HOST_HPPABSD.  Delete
    forward structure declarations, they are unnecessary.
    (struct somdata): Delete aux_hdr, and hp_symbol_entry_size fields.
    Change "symbols" to "symtab".  Add "stringtab" and "reloc_filepos"
    fields for future use.  Change obj_som_* macros as appropriate.
    (som_section_data): New structure to keep SOM specific information
    about BFD sections (for future use).

    * som.c: Provide PARAMS declarations for all functions currently
    in this file.
    (struct container): Delete unwanted structure definition.
    (som_object_setup): Add comments.  Use som_mkobject to allocate
    SOM specific information in the BFD; use information from the
    file and (possibly empty) auxiliary headers to initialize this
    information.  Delete redundant bfd_get_symcount (abfd) "calls".
    (setup_sections): Return type is now boolean, fix return statements.
    "Fix" handling of BSS like subspaces in the computation of the
    containing space's size.  If the subspace has relocations, set the
    appropriate BFD section flags and record the index into and the
    size of the fixup stream.  Always return a value.
    (som_object_p): Set bfd_error appropriately if errors are detected
    from bfd_{read,seek} functions.  Handle EXECLIBMAGIC type files.
    Do not try to read a non-existant auxiliary header.
    (som_mkobject): Flesh out.
    (som_section_hook): Allocate space to hold SOM specific information
    about sections.

Thu Oct 21 12:41:34 1993  Jim Kingdon  ([e-mail])

    gcc -Wall lint:
    * coff-h8300.c, coffcode.h: Change shrink parameter
    in *_reloc16_estimate to unsigned to match prototype.
    * archive.c: Avoid "/*" in comment.

Thu Oct 21 13:05:16 1993  Ian Lance Taylor  ([e-mail])

    * dep-in.sed: Create our own line breaks for a more aesthetic
    Makefile.
    * Makefile.in: Rebuilt dependencies.

    * elf32-mips.c: Include "seclet.h".
    (mips_elf_fake_sections): Force size of .reginfo section to sizeof
    Elf32_External_RegInfo.
    (mips_elf_seclet_link): New function.  Link the .reginfo section
    specially, and pass everything else to the generic routine.
    (bfd_elf32_bfd_seclet_link): Define macro.
    * elf32-target.h: If bfd_elf32_bfd_seclet_link is already defined,
    don't override it.

Wed Oct 20 12:22:37 1993  Ian Lance Taylor  ([e-mail])

    * libnlm.h (nlm_backend_data): Added signature field.
    (nlm_signature): New macro.
    * nlmcode.h (nlm_object_p, nlm_write_object_contents): Use the NLM

Wed Oct 20 10:10:07 1993  Ken Raeburn  ([e-mail])

    * Makefile.in (HFILES): New variable, for use in "make dep".
    (.dep): Depend on $(CFILES) and $(HFILES).  Delete .dep1 and
    remake it, so that "$?" is complete.
    (.dep1): Don't need to remove .dep1 first.
    (dep.sed): Depend on config.status, not Makefile.
    (CFILES): Add nlm.c.

    absolute sections when writing out relocs.
    * coffswap.h (coff_swap_aouthdr_out): For ALPHAECOFF, output 2 for
    bldrev field, as on Alpha OSF/1.  Padding field is now 2 bytes.

    coffcode.h (styp_to_sec_flags): if STYP_NOLOAD && (STYP_TEXT ||

    i386-sysv.

Thu Nov  5 04:43:09 1992  John Gilmore  ([e-mail])

    * target.c (struct bfd_target):  Eliminate the SDEF and SDEF_FMT

    (coff_set_section_contents): set vma of .lib section to number of
    .lib sections.
    * coff-i386.c: define TWO_DATA_SECS; use a special CALC_ADDEND;
    don't define coff_write_armap to bsd_write_armap.

    sco-core.c:  Lint:  Second argument of bfd_seek is always file_ptr.
    Third argument is SEEK_SET or SEEK_CUR.  Result is always 0 or -1.

    * aout-adobe.c, aoutf1.h, aoutx.h, bout.c coff-m68k.c, coff-z8k.c,

    * libaout.h (aout_backend_data): added exec_header_not_counted
    field. For ZMAGIC files only, when text_includes_header is set, by

    contribute to the size of section.
    * aoutx.h (aout_adjust_sizes_and_vmas): if exec_header_not_counted
    is not set, but ztih is, add the size of the exec header to the

    * archive.c:  Make errno global.
    * archive.c (_bfd_write_archive_contents):  If read fails (and
    errno!=0) set bfd_error to malformed_archive (since this probably
    indicates a truncated archive), rather than system_call_error.

    * aout-target.h:  Make _bfd_slurp_extended_name_table be
    the default.  Given that we *write* the suckers (for long
    archive member names), we really ought to be able to read them!
    * trad-core.c:  Don't include <machine/reg.h>.  It doesn't
    seem to be needed, and many machines don't have it.

    * elf.c (elf_slurp_symbol_table):  Now 2nd arg is where to write
    symbol pointers.  Punt expensive & useless bfd_realloc.  Use

    asked.     Do not even slurp string tables.
    (elf_get_symtab_upper_bound):  Count 'em without reading them.
    (elf_get_symtab):  This is how to politely ask.  Schlurp!

    gets mapped in with it.
    (struct aout_data): New fields indicate whether vma has been
    adjusted yet (not yet used), and what magic number will be used in
    the output file (should go away in favor of vma_adjusted).

    generated by gen-aout.
    * aout-target.h:  Make a little more flexible.
    * libaout.h, aout-target.h:  Removed WORK_OUT_FILE_POSTIONS
    macro.  Instead, inline it in aout-target.h.

    the bfd structure.

Thu Dec 12 21:01:22 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * aoutf1.h (sunos_<size>_object_p, sunos4_callback): moved the
    computation of arch and machine type so it's worked out before
    some_aout_object_p is called.
    * aoutx.h: (some_aout_object_p): don't set arch and mach to
    unknown.
    * archures.c: add extra field 'section_align_power' to hold

    * targets.c:  Revise comments about how to configure the target
    vector, to match reality.  Remove mention of obsolete methods.
    Remove long lists of capitalized macros that turn into the same
    thing in lowercase.  Normal vector simply lists all known
    lowercase xvec names; all other cases are handled by SELECT_VECS.

    * config/mt-i386-coff:  Set DEFAULT_VECTOR to real identifier,
    not macro name.

    * config/mt-i960-{coff,bout}:  Use SELECT_VECS to make a short
    list of supported targets.

Tue Dec  3 14:06:15 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * archive.c (bsd_write_armap):  The pad byte sometimes added to
    the string table in a __.SYMDEF member is now
    counted as part of the size of the string table.
    This is compatible with the old ranlib, as well as Sun's.

Tue Dec  3 10:53:30 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

    * srec.c: Rewrote to fix many bugs; now gets the record type
    right, doesn't choke on input, sets the start address in an S9 and
    fills in the filename on an S0.

Sat Nov 30 21:19:15 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

    * cpu-h8300.c: Add support for MEMIND addressing mode

    * coffcode.h: use the new macro if available

    * elf.c (elf_corefile_note): cast malloc to avoid warning.
    * Makefile.in: Fixed dependencies due to file rename

    * aout-encap.c, aoutf1.h, aoutx.h, archive.c, bout.c, coff-a29k.c,

    newos3.c, stab-syms.c, syms.c: All these files have had their
    #includes altered to point to the new places.

Fri Nov 29 20:04:49 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

    * config/mh-i386v4, config/mh-i386-elf, hosts/h-i386v4.h:  New files.

    * configure.in:  Add vendor "ncr" as supported per-target vendor.
    Add svr4 case for i386 per-host case.

    ELFDATA2LSB cases.

Fri Nov 29 12:16:51 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * syms.c (bfd_decode_symclass):  Return 'A'
    for symbols that are both absolute and global.
    * archive.c (bfd_special_undocumented_glue):  Return NULL
    if bfd_ar_hdr_from_filesystem returns NULL.

Tue Nov 26 09:10:55 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at cygnus.com)

    * Makefile.in: added coff-h8300
    * configure.in: now h8 is a coff target
    * cpu-h8300.c: fix various disassembly problems
    * libcoff.h: took out some code which has been #0ed for a long
    time.
    * targets.c: added h8 coff
    * coff-a29k.c, coff-i386.c, coff-i960.c, coff-m68k.c, coff-m88k.c
    added new macro RTYPE2HOWTO to take a load of #ifdefs out of
    coffcode.h
    * coffcode.h: Started to change the way machine dependencies are
    handled, from the nest of #ifdefs to macros defined in the
    including coff-<foo>.c

Fri Nov 22 08:11:42 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * aoutx.h (some_aout_object_p):  Set the `executable' bit
    if the entry point is contained in the text segment, even if the
    text segment is at location 0.

    * coff-mips.c, coffcode.h:  Peter Schauer's patch to kludge in
    nonstandard MIPS sections (.rdata, .sdata, etc).

    * aoutx.h, bfd.c, coffcode.h, ieee.c, oasys.c, targets.c: CONST lint.
    * libbfd-in.h, libbfd.h, aoutx.h, coffcode.h, elf.c, libaout.h:
    Rename ALIGN to BFD_ALIGN to avoid conflict with BSD <sys/param.h>.
    * libbfd.c:  Lint.
    * host-aout.c, trad-core.c:  Fix write_armap prototypes.  Lint.

Thu Nov 21 19:56:40 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * stab-syms.c, syms.c:  Moved bfd_stab_name() and bfd_stab_names[]
    from syms.c to new file stab-syms.c.  Also, since GNU extended
    type codes such as N_SETT are no longer in ../include/stab.def,
    include them manually.
    * stab-syms.c, aoutx.h: Renamed bfd_stab_name() and
    bfd_stab_names[] to aout_stab_name() and aout_stab_names[].
    * libaout.h: Added prototype for aout_stab_name().
    * Makefile.in:  Update Makefile for new stab-syms.[co].

Thu Nov 21 11:50:49 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * libaout.h (WORK_OUT_FILE_POSITIONS):  One more try at this
    rather complicated seeming problem.  Eliminate LOGICAL_ versions,
    just make N_XXX work by excluding the header from the text segment.
    * aoutx.h:  Fix comments to match.

Tue Nov 19 18:49:01 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * libaout.h (WORK_OUT_FILE_POSITIONS):  Use new LOGICAL_TXTADDR,
    LOGICAL_TXTOFF, LOGICAL_TXTSIZE macros to figure out numbers
    for the "logical" text segment (i.e. never consider the exec
    header to be part of the text segment).  This change is
    needed for consistency with various other parts of bfd and ld.
    * aoutx.h (NAME(aout,soe_aout_object_p)):  Fix comment,
    and move calculation of obj_textsec(abfd)->size to libaout.h.
    * bfd-in.h:  Removed bogus ';'.

    * Makefile.in:  Add MINIMIZE flag to select lean
    or bloated target_vector.

    * newsos3.c:  Fixes to ../include/aout64.h remove need
    for special N_TXTOFF macro, but require N_HEADER_IN_TEXT.

Mon Nov 18 12:00:59 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * aout-target.h, aoutf1.h, newsos3.c:  Make aout-target.h
    handle both little and big-endian targets, with little
    the default unless TARGET_IS_BIG_ENDIAN_P is defined.
    * host-aout.c:  Add FIXME note.

Sun Nov 17 13:29:39 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * targets.c:  Make the default target_vector contain
    just &DEFAULT_VECTOR.  This makes executables a lot smaller.
    Old behavior can be gotten by defining ALL_TARGETS.
    * aoutf1.h, demo64.c, i386aout.c, newsos3.c, sunos.c:
    Factored out common code into new file aout-target.h.
    Saves a lot of duplicate code for a.out variants.

Fri Nov 15 13:00:43 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    Get 'make headers' to work when configured with +subdirs.
    * Makefile.in: Add $(subdir) to docdir path.
    * doc/Makefile.in (protos): Add $(srcdir) prefix
    to name of sed scripts.

    * aoutx.h (NAME(aout,print_symbol)):  Fix thinko.
    * syms.c (bfd_stab_names):  Turn on new GNU_EXTRA_STABS macro
    to include names of N_SETT etc.

Thu Nov 14 19:11:13 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

        * elf.c:  Add minimal support for ELF symbol tables.  Generates
    canonical bfd symbol tables from ELF symbol tables.  Change the
    name of some functions from bfd_<name> to elf_<name>.

    * syms.c:  Trivial fix to comment to remove a redundant "to".

Wed Nov 13 17:02:01 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * coff-{i386,m68k,m88k}.c:  Change name of file format to standard
    form that GDB recognizes as COFF.

Wed Nov 13 09:09:41 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at cygnus.com)

    * ieee.c (ieee_object_p):  cast NULL correctly.

    when calling chmod.

Mon Nov 11 19:07:32 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

    * elf.c:  Additions to support ELF format core files.
    * config/mh-amix:  Add -DHAVE_PROCFS to HDEFINES, since host
    has support for /proc (all the include files in particular).

Mon Nov 11 18:36:47 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * aoutx.h (NAME(aout,find_nearest_line)):  Handle the case
    of two N_SO stabs, one for directory, and one for filename.

    * bfd-in.h (print_vma):  Factor out duplicate definition.

    Exit a little more gracefully when malloc returns NULL.
    * libbfd.c: New function bfd_xmalloc (malloc wrapper).
    * opncls.c, syms.c, bout.c, aoutx.h:  Replace malloc by bfd_xmalloc.

    * config/mt-m68k-elf:  Define DEFAULT_VECTOR as elf_big_vec.

    * elf.c (elf_object_p):  Don't try to create a bfd section for
    the first ELF section header.  It is just a placeholder.

    * coff-rs6000.c, config/mh-rs6000:  Make it work on archive and
    core files, when compiling native.
    * hosts/h-rs6000.h:  Define FASCIST_FDOPEN for bfd_fdopenr.

    FIXME:  The aoutf1.h change below needs to be reversed back
    to the way it was.

Thu Nov  7 11:03:55 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

    * coffcode.h: Defined new macros [PUT|GET]LINENO_LNNO for
    manipulation of lnno fields in lineno structs in a coff-<f>.h
    independent way. Override it in coff-<f>.h to your favourite
    number if you don't have a 16bit lnno field. (coff_swap_lineno_in)
    (coff_swap_lineno_out): modified to use the new macros.

Mon Nov  4 11:38:33 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at cygnus.com)

    * aoutf1.h (sunos4_callback): Now defaults to 68020 rather than
    unknown arch when the magic number doesn't specify the
    architecture, since some OSs (eg old sun3s) don't set the number, and
    020 is probably the right answer anyway.

Sun Nov  3 12:07:08 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * hosts/h-news.h, hosts/h-rtbsd.h:
    Get rid of MISSING_VFPRINTF, since libiberty provides one.
    * bfd-in.h (bfd_print_symbol_type_hopw enum):   Add new option
    bfd_print_symbol_nm, for use by nm.
    * aoutx.h (NAME(aout,print_symbol)):  Add code for new
    bfd_print_symbol_nm option, to print in nm format.
    * coffcode.h (coff_print_symbol), ieee.c (ieee_print_symbol)
    oasys.c (oasys_print_symbol):  Provide stub implementations
    for bfd_print_symbol_nm.
    * syms.c:  New function bfd_decode_symclass, used by nm printer.
    New function bfd_stab_name to look up string name of stab code.

Sat Nov  2 14:26:03 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * Makefile.in: Added ctor.c
    * archures.c (bfd_default_arch_struct) added
    bfd_default_reloc_type_lookup.
    * coffcode.h: removed a load of #if 0ed code.
    (coff_compute_file_section_positions): now works out the section
    alignment and size correctly in all cases.
    (coff_get_symtab): looks for constructor symbols and calls the
    right function when they're found. (coff_canonicalize_reloc):
    knows when a section is full of constructors and does the right
    thing.
    * cpu-m88k.c: Added default_reloc_type lookup to the architecture
    description.
    * libbfd-in.h: (bfd_default_reloc_type_lookup) defun  added.
    * libcoff.h: removed #if 0ed code
    * reloc.c: (bfd_reloc_code_real_type) added BFD_RELOC_CTOR for
    arch independent constructor relocation type.
    (bfd_reloc_type_lookup): removed the comment "this will go away"
    since it won't. (bfd_howto_32): stolen from 88k, this is a 32bit
    reloc which is used when BFD_RELOC_CTOR falls through to give a
    default 32bit reloc for constructors.
    (bfd_default_reloc_type_lookup): added.
    * aoutf1.h: fixed SEGMENT_SIZE typo.

Thu Oct 31 18:23:06 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * coff-rs6000.c:  Change name to "aixcoff-rs6000", to avoid
    matching prefix "coff".
    * coffcode.h (coff_swap_aux_in, coff_swap_aux_out):  Handle
    rs/6000 csect records.

Sun Oct 27 16:56:58 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * coff-m88k.c, targets.c: change name of m88k_bcs to m88kbcs
    * configure.in: add motorola delta88 cases
    * libbfd.h, libbfd-in.h, archive.c, ieee.c, elf.c, srec.c: fix
    write_armap prototype
    * libbfd.c: add doc on bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int

Fri Oct 25 02:48:19 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * Rename COFF-related files in `coff-ARCH.c' form.
    coff-a29k.c, coff-i386.c, coff-i960.c, coff-m68k.c, coff-m88k.c,
    coff-mips.c, coff-rs6000.c to be exact.

    * Makefile.in:  Only supply TARGET_DEFAULTS to targets.c, reducing
    make output clutter.

    (bfd_swap_aouthdr_in):  Handle lots more members.
    (make_a_section_from_file):  If section has already been seen,
    just return false rather than overwriting it.
    (coff_real_object_p):  Understand incoming magic numbers.
    (coff_set_flags):  Understand outgoing magic numbers.
    (coff_compute_section_file_positions):  outgoing aouthdr magic #.

    * cpu-rs6000.c:  New file.
    * rs6000coff.c:  New file.

Thu Oct 24 02:03:24 1991  Fred Fish  (fnf at cygnus.com)

    * elf.c: Add partial support for ELF format corefiles. Still needs
    support for extracting registers from corefiles.

    * config/t-m68k-elf:  Set DEFAULT_VECTOR to elf_big_vec.

    * config/{h-amix,h-dgux,h-irix3,h-ultra3}: For systems where
    RANLIB is defined as echo, send the output to /dev/null to help
    reduce clutter in the output from doing a make.

Mon Oct 21 17:48:48 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * hosts/h-vaxult.h:  Remove malloc/free decls covered in stdlib.h.
    Fix HOST_PAGE_SIZE and HOST_SEGMENT_SIZE.  From David Taylor.

Mon Oct 21 09:34:11 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at rtl.cygnus.com)

    * coffcode.h (coff_compute_section_file_positions): make it pad
    section size out if there are alignment restrictions so that the
    image will be ok on a system where section positions are worked
    out by accumulating sizes rather than from the section headers.
    * targets.c (proto write_armap). Changed orl_count to unsigned.
    * opncls.c (bfd_close_all_done). Added so that generative
    programs like gas can close a bfd without causing bfd confusion.
    * libbfd.h (changed becuase of protos)
    * amdcoff.c: messed with the way that jmp displacements are
    calcualated. This may not yet be totally correct.
    * archive.c (coff_write_armap): rewrote the way that ranlibs are
    written out.
    * coffcode.h (fixup_symbol_value): now doesn't core dump if a non
    abs symbol has no section (like a register symbol).
    (coff_write_symbol) now zeros auxent before filling it up to help
    with sensitive applications.
    * libbfd.c (bfd_write_bigendian_4byte_int): added.

Wed Oct 16 22:58:45 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * opncls.c (bfd_fdopenr):  If FASCIST_FDOPEN, use "r", not "r+".
    * trad-core.c (trad_unix_core_file_failing_command):  Suppress
    attempt to recover command, ifdef NO_CORE_COMMAND.
    * hosts/h-tahoe.h:  Add FASCIST_FDOPEN and NO_CORE_COMMAND;
    revamp HOST_*, etc.
    * hosts/h-i386v.h:  Use <utime.h>, not <sys/utime.h>, unlike POSIX.

Wed Oct 16 12:43:49 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * archive.c (bsd_write_argmap): The size of the ranlib structures
    should not include the size field itself.
    * aoutx.h, libaout.h (NAME(aout, sizeof_headers)):  Use
    adata(abfd)->exec_bytes_size field instead of constant macro,
    because aoutx.h compiles to a simple .o file shared by
    all 32-bits a.out targets.

Wed Oct 16 11:11:05 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * configure.in:  Allow i386-sco-sysv.
    * bout.c:  Remove unused i960_align; lint dummy core file handlers.
    * cpu-h8300.c:  lint.

    * host-aout.c:  New strategy.  We use common code, include files,
    and data structures to handle the file, but set a few parameters
    from the host's config file (page size, text start addr, etc).
    * libaout.h:  Define HP BSD machine types.
    * aoutf1.h:  Handle reading a.outs with these types.

    * trad-core.c:  Pass the u.u_ar0 value as the negative of the
    virtual-memory-address of the .reg section.  We can't just make a
    section for "all the regs and nothing else" because only GDB knows
    exactly where the regs are (scattered around the upage and stack).
    Clean up memory allocation.  Remove big- and little-endian
    vectors, replace with single vector; this only runs on the host,
    in host byte order.  Replace byteswap routines with aborts in case
    anyone calls them.
    * targets.c:  There's only one trad_core_vec now.
    * aoutf1.h (sunos_core_file_p):  VMA of .reg* now needs to be 0.

Tue Oct 15 08:29:03 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * hosts/h-amix.h (free):  Fix prototype.

    * aoutx.h:  Don't use NULL as an integer, for braindead systems
    that declare it as (void *)0.  (From Peter Schauer.)

Mon Oct 14 17:20:47 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * opncls.c (bfd_fdopenr):  Add parentheses to avoid reported
    problem with bad Ultrix system headers.
    * aoutx.h (NAME(aout,set_section_contents)):  Try to handle the
    various kinds of alignments for the various kinds of
    magic numbers.

Mon Oct 14 14:23:10 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * coffcode.h: Moved ALIGN macro to libbfd.h. Removed i960_align.
    * libbfd.h: Moved ALIGN macro here.
    * bout.c (b_out_callback): Replace i960_align by align_power.

    * libaout.h (struct aoutdata):  Added fields page_size,
    segment_size and exec_bytes_size.  These help generic code
    (in aoutx.h and libaout.h) to figure out where to align
    the various segments in a demand paged file.
    * libaout.h (WRITE_HEADER):  Use new (struct aoutdata) fields
    to decide if the exec header counts in a_text (text segment size).
    Also, assume D_PAGED flag is set; don't set it here.
    * bout.c (b_out_callback): Add initialization of
    adata fields page_size, segment_size, and exec_bytes_size.
    * host-aout.c (NAME(host_aout, callback) and
    NAME(host_aout,mkobject): Ditto.
    * i386aout.c (aout386_callback) and new aout386_mkobject): Ditto.
    * newos3.c (newsos3_callback) and new newsos_mkobject): Ditto.
    * aoutf1.c (sunos4_callback) and new sunos_mkobject): Ditto.
    * aoutx.h (NAME(aout,some_aout_object_p)): Don't subtract
    EXEC_BYTES_SIZE from the a_test size; this is only appropriate
    for some systems (mainly sunos), so do it in the callback instead.
    Same routine: Add stuff to the THIS_IS_ONLY_DOCUMENTATION comment.
    * aoutx.h (NAME(aout,set_section_contents): Change the way
    filepos and size of sections are carried out to support
    older styles of demand paged executables.


Fri Oct 11 12:33:36 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * bfd-in.h: Added more macros to COFF_SWAP_TABLE.
    * bfd.c: Added macros to enable gas to swap coff records.
    * coffcode.h: Make the coff_swap_*_out routines return the number
    of bytes swapped, and cleaned up their prototypes.
    * configure.in: Added ebmon/coff support
    * ecoff.c: Changed null definitions of coff_swap_*_out to conform
    to new prototypes
    * targets.c: Added new entry points for coff swapping

Fri Oct 11 03:01:52 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    Restructure configuration scheme for bfd, binutils, ld.

    * include/sys/h-*.h:  Move to bfd/hosts/h-*.h.
    * configure.in:  Revise to symlink sysdep.h to hosts/h-xxx.h.
    Change some config names to match other dirs.
    * *.c:  Include bfd.h before sysdep.h, so ansidecl and PROTO()
    get defined first.
    * Makefile.in:  Use -I. to get sysdep.h.  Remove refs to
    ../include/sysdep.h.
    * cpu-i960.c:  Strncmp needed a length arg.
    * ecoff.c:  Don't ever call trad_unix_core_file_p from here.
    * i386aout.c:  Remove dead N_TXTOFF override.
    * trad-core.c:  Don't disable the whole file if SUN4_SYS.
    * config/:  Rename some config files to match up h-*.h names.
    Remove all the HOST_SYS definitions from the config files.
    * hosts/h-amix.h, h-i386v.h:  Define POSIX_UTIME, not USG.
    * hosts/h-hp9000.h:  Remove USG comment.
    * hosts/h-rs6000.h:  Include <stdlib.h> for malloc.
    * hosts/h-news.h, h-sparc-64.h:  New config files that had
    previously been kludged in the <sysdep.h> file.

Thu Oct 10 17:54:08 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * config/*:  trad-core support is HOST dependent, not target
    dependent.  Target config files only set DEFAULT_VECTOR and/or
    other vector elements.  Exception:  when host-aout.c is in use,
    in which case we're forced to assume we're native (hp, vax,
    tahoe).  Rename XDEPFILES to HDEPFILES.
    * Makefile.in:  Rename XDEPFILES.
    * config/h-sun*:  Don't force static linking.
    * trad-core.c:  Document how to use it nowadays.
    * i386aout.c, newsos3.c:  Clean up.
    * i386coff.c:  Allow 386 coff files to be used as core files too
    (for reading core files from embedded systems).

Tue Oct  8 15:30:39 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * Add i386aout.c for a.out support on the i386.

Tue Oct  8 12:18:54 1991  Roland H. Pesch  (pesch at cygnus.com)

    * reloc.c, section.c, syms.c, targets.c: correct info-node
    structure in *doc* comments.
    doc/Makefile: stop hiding complaints from makeinfo.

Sun Oct  6 19:10:06 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * aoutx.h (...some_aout_object_p):  Take a third parameter,
    the internal_exec struct, and avoid ever looking at an
    external_exec.  All callers changed to read the entire
    external_exec struct, swap and check its magic number,
    swap in the whole structure, and pass the swapped-in version to
    some_aout_object_p.
    * bout.c:  Bring into modern era.  Use single _object_p routine
    for big- aand little-endian.  Provide internal and external
    exec header structs.  Use separate swap-in and swap-out routines.

    * libaout.h:  Move struct internal_exec from ../include/aout64.h
    to here.  Add obj_symbol_entry_size to struct aoutdata.
    * aoutx.h (...some_aout_object_p):  Set obj_symbol_entry_size.

    * ../include/aout64.h:  Change EXTERNAL_LIST_SIZE to
    EXTERNAL_NLIST_SIZE.  Callers changed.

Fri Oct  4 18:18:46 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * bfd.c:  Remove strerror() to libiberty.

    * elf.c:  Remove elf_set_section_contents, use generic one.  Lint.
    * libbfd-in.h, libbfd.c:  Add bfd_generic_set_section_contents.
    * libbfd.c (bfd_generic_{get,set}_section_contents):  Check that
    last byte of transfer, not first byte, is within the section.

    * host-aout.c:  Remove `BSD' archive support.  Lint.

    * archures.c: Rename `struct bfd_arch_info_struct' to `struct
    bfd_arch_info'.  Rename `typedef bfd_arch_info_struct_type' to
    `bfd_arch_info_type'.  All uses changed.
    * reloc.c:  Rename `bfd_reloc_status_enum_type' to
    `bfd_reloc_status_type'.  Rename `bfd_reloc_code_enum_real_type'
    to `bfd_reloc_code_real_type'.  (This seems to be a misnomer,
    it needs a better name.)  All uses changed.
    * targets.c:  Rename `enum target_flavour_enum' to `enum
    target_flavour', and remove the `_enum' from all of the enum
    values themselves.  All uses changed.

    * configure.in, config/h-i386mach:  i386 mach host.
    * config/t-i386-aout:  Use host-aout.c.

    * trad-core.c:  Give it its own xvec's to make it independent
    of other file formats.
    * ecoff.c, host-aout.c:  Remove refs to trad-core.
    * config/t-dec3100, t-hp300bsd, t-tahoe, t-vax:  Define TRAD_CORE.
    * targets.c:  #ifdef TRAD_CORE, include it in the vector.

Fri Oct  4 17:38:03 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * reloc.c: Extended NEWHOWTO macro
    * ieee.c: Changed the way 8bit pcrel is done
    * cpu-h8300.c: got the registers in the right order

Thu Oct  3 19:39:55 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * bfd-in.h:  enum boolean => enum bfd_boolean for SVR4.  Gumby's
    prediction is vindicated!

    * bfd-in.h, libbfd-in.h, doc/Makefile, doc/tolibbfd, doc/intobfd:
    Remove refs to howto.c, since Steve forgot.

Thu Oct  3 07:49:21 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * elf.c: took the abort out of set_arch_mach so that objdump -i will
    still work. Now allows any architecture/machine to be set.

Wed Oct  2 13:50:35 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * howto.c deleted and moved code to reloc.c

    * libbfd.h, libbfd-in.h removed $id stuff for real

    * cpu-h8300.c Made it match various different spellings of h8300.

    * archures.c: Took out the first char filter which made it only
    look for a cpu/arch match when the first chars of supplied and
    tested names were the same.

    * targets.c removed oasys stuff, pending someone to fix the bugs
    in it.


Tue Oct  1 12:29:44 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * Makefile.in, configure.in, targets.c, elf.c:  Add preliminary
    ELF support good enough for GDB.
    * configure.in, config/h-amix, config/t-m68k-elf:  Handle
    m68k-cbm-svr4 host and target.
    * config/t-m68k-coff, t-m88k-coff, t-m88k-aout:  Make files nonempty
    so `diff' and `patch' can cope.

Tue Oct  1 11:24:31 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * archures.c: removed texinfo error

    * init.c: added texinfo hooks, and removed initialization error
    message.

    * libcoff-in.h, libbfd-in.h removed $id field so cvs can merge
    without complaints.

Tue Oct  1 05:02:53 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * cpu-i960.c:  Avoid numerical count of initializers.

    Vax Ultrix changes from David Taylor <[e-mail]>:
    * host-aout.c:  Make little-endian vector really little-endian.
    * configure.in:  Separate vax and tahoe cases, handle ultrix.
    * config/t-vax:  Add trad-core.o.
    * config/h-vaxult:  New host system.

Mon Sep 30 15:13:46 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygnus.com)

    * bfd-in.h VERSION, change version number to 0.18, this makes a
    gap, but now is the same as the linker version number.

    * cpu-a29k.c, cpu-i386.c, cpu-m68k.c, cpu-mips.c, cpu-vax.c,
    cpu-h8300.c, cpu-i960.c, cpu-m88k.c, cpu-sparc.c: added. These
    files will eventually contain processor specific bits for bfd,
    like strange relocation information and dis/assembly.  So far only
    the H8 has been even partially done.  This work also ties in with
    the change in handling architectures.

    * amdcoff.c: (a29k_reloc) fix error message.

    * aout-f1.h: (choose_reloc_size) now calls bfd_get_arch to
    discover the architecture of the bfd. (sunos4_callback) calls the
    function bfd_set_arch_mach rather than stuffing stuff directly
    into the bfd. (sunos4_write_object_contents), changed names of
    accessor functions.

    * aoutx.h: (set_arch_mach) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach to
    setup the environment.

    * archive.c: (bfd_slurp_coff_armap) coff archives always have the
    headers in big endian format, regardless of the endianess of the
    host or target.

    * archures.c: totally changed. Now an architecture is represented
    with a pointer to an info structure rather than an enumerated type
    and a long. The old info is available as two elements in the
    structure.  Future enhancements to architecure support will
    involve pointers to methods being placed into the info structure.

    * bfd.c: changed the definition of the bfd structure for the new
    architecture stuff.

    * bout.c: (b_out_set_arch_mach) changed to use the new
    architecture mechanism.

    * coffcode.h: (coff_set_arch_mach, coff_set_flags) changed to use
    the new architecture mechanism.

    * configure.in: added h8 stuff.

    * ieee.c: too many changes to note.  Now ieee files written with
    bfd gas and ld can be read by gld and ieee only linkers and
    simulators.

    * libbfd.c, libbfd.h: changed prototype of bfd_write.

    * newsos3.c: (newos3_callback) now calls bfd_set_arch_mach rather
    than fixing the structure directly.

    * oasys.c: (oasys_object_p) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach rather
    than fixing the structure directly.

    * opncls.c: (new_bfd) makes sure that bfd_init has been called
    before opening a bfd.

    * srec.c: (srec_set_arch_mach) now calls bfd_default_set_arch_mach
    rather than fixing the structure directly.

    * targets.c: (target_vector) now by defining SELECT_VECS (perhaps
    in the t/hmake file) a user can select which backends they want
    linked with bfd without changing the source.

    * init.c: new, looks after initializing modules.

    * howto.c: for future use, will allow an application to work out
    what cookie to use as a handle on a relcoatio howto.

Mon Sep 30 13:31:15 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * srec.c:  Better error checking, partly from Peter Schauer.
    (srec_object_p):  Avoid assuming any file that starts with 'S' is
    an S-record file!  (Check for 3 uppercase-hex digits after it.)
    (ISHEX):  Define new macro for checking supposedly hex characters.
    (pass_over):  Treat as EOF any S-record line that:
        *  doesn't have hex in either size character
        *  produces a size larger than 0x7F
        *  has an unrecognized type number

Thu Sep 26 15:27:29 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygnus.com)

    * aoutf1.h, aoutx.h, bout.c, coffcode.h, host-aout.c, oasys.c,
    opncls.c:  Lint (saber actually).

Thu Sep 26 11:24:24 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * libaout.h (WRITE_HEADERS): Set header's a_text field always.
    * newsos3.c: Fixed two types: newos3 -> newsos3.
    * reloc.c (bfd_perform_relocation): Fix pc-relative relocation
    to use correct segment.

Mon Sep 23 18:24:34 1991  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)

    * aoutx.h (print_symbol):  Handle missing symbol->name.

Fri Sep 20 12:26:01 1991  Stu Grossman  (grossman at cygnus.com)

    * aoutf1.h (swapcore_sparc):  Change name of USRSTACK, fix comment
    at top of routine.

Tue Sep 17 17:23:49 1991  Stu Grossman  (grossman at cygnus.com)

    * oasys.c, configure.in, config/h-irix3, config/t-irix3:
    add sgi/irix support.

Thu Sep 12 14:29:09 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    Changes for the AMD 29000 Ultracomputer port from David Wood.
    ([e-mail]).

    * Makefile.in:  Make subdirs work by using $(INCDIR) in the
    crude dependencies.

    * coffcode.h (coff_real_object_p):  Pass information about the
    current file's coff symbol format to BFD via the coff_data struct.
    (coff_find_nearest_line):  obj_icof => coff_data.
    (coff_swap_sym_{in,out}):  Check that SYMNMLEN == E_SYMNMLEN.
    (coff_swap_aux_{in,out}):  Check that FILNMLEN == E_FILNMLEN
    and DIMNUM == E_DIMNUM.
    * configure.in:  Handle a29k-*-* hosts, and targets
    a29k-*-coff, a29k-*-aout, and a29k-*-sym1.
    * libcoff-in.h:  Add local_n_btmask, local_n_btshft,
    local_n_tmask, local_n_tshift, local_symesz, local_auxesz,

    (coff_data, coff_data_type, coff_tdata):  Rename struct icofdata.
    * config/h-ultra3:  Handle a29k-*-* hosts as Ultracomputers.

Thu Sep 12 14:07:22 1991  Roland H. Pesch  (pesch at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * Makefile.in: $(MAKE) for make, $(docdir) for doc
    * doc/Makefile: redundant dependencies for Sun-make VPATH bug

    * trad-core.h (trad_unix_core_file_p):  Ditto.
    * aoutx.h (aout_set_section_contents):  On first output, check
    abfd->direction and complain if erroneous.

    * Makefile.in:  Add crude dependencies.

Tue Sep  3 13:46:19 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * config/* aoutx.h configure* shortened all the h/tmake-xxxx
    to h/t-xxxx files so that everything will work on System V.

Fri Aug 23 13:51:06 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * aoutx.h:  Add information on host-aout.c and how to configure
    to use it, to the manual.
    * configure.in:  Tix typo.
    * ecoff.c:  If compiling for DEC3100, use trad_unix core files,
    else dummy out the core file support.

    Update to modern (32/64-bit) a.out naming conventions.
    Include a large chunk of ../include/a.out.gnu.h to get macros that
    are not defined by the system include files.
    (host_aout_{32,64}_write_object_contents):  Use the WRITE_HEADERS
    macro used by the other a.out implementations.
    * Makefile.in:  Give dependencies to OPTIONAL_BACKENDS.

Wed Aug 21 14:33:06 1991  Roland H. Pesch  (pesch at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * Makefile.in: use targets "bfd.dvi" and "bfd.ps" instead of
    texdoc and psdoc; make these depend on generated .texi's

    * scanit, (new) unPROTO: turn PROTO macros into ANSI declarations in
    doc

    * bfd.c, reloc.c, syms.c: minor spelling/wording fixes in doc
    portions

    libbfd.h, libcoff.h, tolibcoff; new bfd-in.h, libbfd-in.h,
    libcoff-in.h: (a) use separate files for invariant parts of bfd.h,

    29k coff by David Wood ([e-mail]).

Thu Jul  4 09:53:16 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * Everything: created some new files, core.c format.c, reloc.c,
    section.c and syms.c to split the functionality a bit better.
    Cleaned up the rest of the files a bit, and added some
    documentation.


Mon Jul  1 13:29:47 1991  David Wood (wood at david.ultra.nya.edu)

    * opncls.c, ../include/sys/h-sun3.h ../include/sys/h-sun4.h: fcntl
    really takes 3 arguments, patched code and ammended prototypes.

Fri Jun 14 13:19:40 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * ../include/bfd.h (struct bfd_target): Added new field
    "align_power_min" which contains the minimum alignment for a
    section. This is used in coff_new_section_hook. The field
    insertion necessitates an update of all backends..

    * aoutf1.h jump table field inserted

    * archive.c(snarf_ar_hdr)(bfd_slurp_coff_armap) can now parse dgux style extended
    filenames too.

    * bout.c(b_out_squirt_out_relocs) fix to assertion tests. Jump
    table field inserted.

    * coffcode.h(just about everything) Now patches up symbol tables
    using a different mechanism. The Intel major bug has been fixed,
    and the linker can self host on the Aviion and be debugged with
    gdb.

    * ecoff.c: new include and jump table patch, i386coff.c: new
    include and jump table patch,  icoff.c: new include and jump table
    patch, ieee.c: can now read archives containing ieee modules.,
    libcoff.h: added (combined_entry_type), libieee.h: uped max
    sections to 20, m68kcoff.c: new include and jump table patch,

    * ../include/oasys.h oasys.c (oasys_archive_p): fixed so it works

    * srec.c: now allows any number of sections to be created in a
    file. Outputs addresses of the right length.

Thu May 30 15:30:10 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * bfd.c (bfd_check_format): Fixed problem where when a defaulted
    target didn't match, the format got set to the attempted match,
    breaking a future test.

        *../include/i386coff.h : fixed typo in type field with size

    * i386coff.c icoff.c m88k-bcs.c ecoff.c ../include/bfd.h : Added
    support in the jump table for the swapping routines exported to
    gdb. Now gdb works with the 386.

Tue May 28 17:21:43 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * Merge in changes from gdb-3.95 release.
    Makefile.in:  Allow hmake and tmake files to add OFILES.
    aoutf1.h:
    bfd.c:  support specific targets as well as searching.  When
    searching, take default target in preference to others.
    bfd.doc:  typos
    ieee.c, oasys.c:  Avoid using the "tdata" macros left of assignment.
    liba.out.h:  Don't hard-code file offsets; use N_ macros for them.
    libbfd.h:  Support specific targets as well as searching.
    opncls.c:  Support specific targets as well as searching.
    targets.c:  Search is short-circuited if default target matches.
    liboasys.c, libieee.c:  Undo bothner changes that make macros
    work to the left of assignment, but which depend on the
    representations of different pointer types being the same.

Fri May 24 18:56:52 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * i386coff.c: created.
    * coffcode.h: added support for 386.
    * Makefile.in: added support for 386.
    * ../include/i386coff.h: created

Wed May 22 07:26:38 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * coffcode.h: removed all put_x_<sizes>
    * libbfd.c: Changed #ifdef __GNUC__ to #ifdef HOST_64_BIT, Added
    DEFUNS


Tue May 21 08:58:58 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)
    (bothner)
    * opncls.c: Changed obstack_chunk_alloc use xmalloc

Mon May 20 17:12:17 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * everything: Removed sysdep.h from bfd.h and put back into files
    from which it was split out. Now 64 bit version is built with a
    -DHOST_64_BIT="long long" on the compile line.

Fri May 17 19:35:26 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    Changed all the [get|put][name] routines to use  [get|put]_[size
    in bytes].

    Put in support for 64 bit work. Now two versions of bfd may be
    generated, according to the state of TARGET_64_BIT, one which is
    32 bit only, and one which is 64/32 bits.
    Created new back end 'demo64' to test 64 bit functionality.

    Renamed some files to work on DOS.

    * archive.c: lint * bfd.c: prototypes and lint. * ecoff.c: added
    64bit transfer     * icoff.c: added 64bit transfer * ieee.c: name
    chage, 64 bit transfer. * liba.out.h: Split out common code from
    sunos and newsos into liba.out. Name changes and prototype mods. *
    libbfd.c: lint and prototypes, extra 64bit swaps. * libbfd.h:
    prototypes for new functions. * libcoff.h: lint * libieee.h: make
    work on DOS * liboasys.h: make work on DOS * m88k-bcs.c: Name

    Added demo * aout32, aout64.c include  aoutx.h * bout.c: used to
    be called b.out.c * coffcode.h: used to be called coff-code.h, now
    64bit ized. * demo64.c: 64 bit a.out back end

Thu May 16 16:02:07 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)
    from bothner
     * libieee.h: Make ieee_data and ieee_ar_data macros usable
    on LHS of assignment, even when using old compilers.
    * liboasys.h: Ditto for oasys_data and oasys_ar_data.
    * m68kcoff.c: Add enum-to-int casts to accomodate old compilers.
    * newsos3.c: Fix definitions of SEGMENT_SIZE and TEXT_START_ADDR.
    * opncls.c: Define S_IXUSR, S_IXGRP, S_IXOTH if undefined.
    * targets.c: Add declaration of newsos3_vec.

Mon May 13 10:03:29 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * aout.c: fixxed some of the problems with filepos calculation.
    (swap_ext_reloc): fixed problem with creation of relocs.
    (aout_set_section_contents): fixed filepos problem

    * coff-code.h: (swap_filehdr_in, swap_filehdr_out) add.
    (swap_filehdr) delete. Changed all the usage of bfd_h_put_x.
    (swap_aouthdr_in, swap_aouthdr_out) add. (swap_aouthdr) delete.
    (coff_real_object_p) cleaned up, added MIPS. (coff_object_p)
    cleaned up. (coff_write_object_contents) cleaned up.

    * ecoff.c: Totally different. Now supports ecoff fully.

    * icoff.c: fixed problems in relocation callout.

    * libcoff.h: (struct icofdata) removed hdr structure from tdata.

    * m68kcoff.c: updated target vector.

    * sunos.c: (choose_reloc_size) added: (sunos4_callback) calls
    choose_reloc_size. (sunos4_write_object_contents) now calls
    choose_reloc_size so outputs relocs correctly, also calculates the
    size of the sections correctly.



Fri May 10 16:58:53 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    Merge Per Bothner's changes to modularize BFD a.out a bit.

    * libbfd.h, libbfd.c (bfd_generic_get_section_contents):  Add.
    * ieee.c:  Cast enums to int before comparing them, for brain-
    dead compilers.
    * coff-code.h:  Remove coff_get_section_contents, and use the
    generic one instead.

    * aout.c:  Derive new module from sunos.c, containing generic
    support code for all kinds of a.out files.

    * sunos.c: Remove all code that goes in aout.c.  Split out
    machine dependent followup in sunos4_object_p into
    sunos4_callback.  Use JUMP_TABLE(aout) for the transver vector,
    and redefine only the names we CHANGE, not all the names.  Drop
    the little-endian vector, and rename the vector as sunos4 rather
    than generic.

    * b.out.c:  Use aout.c routines for most of the work.  Slight
    changes for the new regime.  Remove close_and_cleanup and
    get_section_contents in favor of generics.  New transfer vector
    regime.

    * newsos.c:  New support for Sony NEWS, another a.out format.

    * ecoff.c:  Remove close_and_cleanup.  New tvec regime.
    * icoff.c, m88k-bcs.c:  Add write_contents to tvec.
    * ieee.c, oasys.c:  Remove close_and_cleanup, add write_contents
    to tvec.
    * opncls.c (bfd_close):  Call format-dependent write_contents
    routine, if writing, before calling target-dependent
    close_and_cleanup routine (which is now always generic, I think).
    * srec.c:  Use bfd_alloc instead of malloc.  Remove
    close_and_cleanup and move code from it to
    srec_write_object_contents.  Add write_contents to tvec.
    * targets.c:  Remove a.out little vector, replace a.out big
    vector with SunOS vector.  FIXME:  Need Vax support again now.

    * libbfd.h:  Add write_contents format-dependent-vector to the
    bfd_target vector.  Supply a generic close_and_cleanup routine.
    * liba.out.h:  Handle the new aout.c split.  Add prototypes for
    all routines defined in aout.c.  Rename "sunos" things to "aout"
    things.  Add a few fields where needed for various formats.
    * Makefile.in:  Add aout.c and newsos.c.

    * archive.c, ieee.c, oasys.c:  Lint.

Fri May 10 12:34:48 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * ../include/bfd.h
    changed forward declaration struct stat; to reduce warnings. Changed
    comment on bfd_h_<x>_x.

    * ../include/m68kcoff.h, ../include/intel-coff.h,
    ../include/m88k-bcs.h
    Now there are two incarnations of relocs, linenos and syments. One for
    internal digestion, and one full of char arrays for I/O. The original
    names have gone to detect errors.

    * Makefile.in, m68kcoff.c, targets.c
    Test new structure code with a 68k coff implementaion

    * coff-code.h, icoff.c, coffswap.c, libcoff.h
    Fixed all the places where there were problems with the size and
    alignments of structures on disk and structures in memory. #ifed out
    all the code in coffswap.c, since it should be done using the target
    swap routines now.

Thu May  9 11:00:45 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * ieee.c (do_one, ieee_slurp_section_data): now supports the load
    multiple reloc command.

    * sunos.c (sunos4_set_section_contents): Made it so that sections
    are always padded to their alignment size.

Sat May  4 15:49:43 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * archive.c, bfd.c, coff-code.h, opncls.c, sunos.c, trad-core.c:
    Clean up types and such (saber C problems).
    * ecoff.c:  Clean up types and such.  Remove routines that are
    not used.  Fix up reading and swapping of shorts from files.

   Notes on bfd-0.5.2-patch1a, from Per Bothner:

    * a.out.vax.c: Remove two bogus "static" from prototypes.

    * ecoff.c: Got rid of lots of non-working junk (that had
    been copied directly from coff-code.h).
    Updated to be consistent with updates to icoff.c and coff-code.h.

    * libbfd.h: Added definitions for S_IXUSR, S_IXGRP, and S_IXOTH
    if they're missing (as they are in (BDS-4.3-based) NewsOS-3).

    * sunos.c (n_txtoff): (Re-)Add support for sony. This is a kludge,
    but until the target_vector is automatically generated,
    it's as good as any. Note that the text offset is the only
    difference between NewsOS and SunOs (including magic numbers).
    (Most of the sunos_* routines should to renamed bsd_*
    and move to a bsd.c file. Then (and when the target_vector
    is automatically generated) it might make sense to create
    a separate Sony target.)

    * sysdep.h: Don't declare fread and fwrite. Causes trouble
    on some systems, and doesn't help on others.
    Similarly, only define X_OK if not already defined.

    * trad-core.c: Don't include sys/stat.h - at least
    on NewsOS 3, it has already been included.

Tue Mar  5 01:47:57 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * coff-code.h (bfd_coff_swap_sym, bfd_coff_swap_aux,
    bfd_coff_swap_lineno):  Export the routines that byte-swap COFF
    symbol tables if necessary when reading them in, so gdb can use
    them.  Add "bfd_coff_" to the names so they won't conflict with
    names in calling programs.  FIXME-soon:  if coff-code.h is
    included in two BFD modules, this will cause duplicate
    definitions; the routines should be exported to a separate,
    common, module (probably along with a mess of other ones).

Sat Mar  2 12:11:26 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    Improve modtime support.

    * bfd.h:  Add boolean mtime_set, and declare bfd_get_mtime.
    Remove #define for bfd_get_mtime.  Remove gratuitous comment.
    * bfd.c (bfd_get_mtime):  New fn, caches mtime, gets if not cached.
    BUG:  archive members still do not get correct mod times.

    Improve floating point support for core files.

    * sunos.c (struct core):  Change void *fpa_dummy to double fp_stuff.
    (sunos4_core_file_p):  Create a second registers section in the
    core file, called ".reg2", for the float registers.

Thu Feb 14 15:49:06 1991  Gumby Vinayak Wallace  (gumby at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * many changes to improve archive handling; found a logic flaw in
      bfd_check_format which only just happened to work by cooncidence.

Thu Feb 14 07:53:16 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * bfd.c (bfd_perform_relocation): fixed to use output_offsets
    correctly.

    * bfd.h: changed type of udata in asymbol to void *, like it
    should be. Added bfd_reloc_dangerous enum member.

    * coff-code.h: Fixed it so that internally generated symbols get
    their values relocated correctly in all cases. Removed calls to
    xmalloc.

    * icoff.c: Not understanding the destination symbol of a reloc is
    not a failure any more, just 'dangerous'. This allows linking of
    b.out and coff images.

    * sunos.c: Cleaned up the way that ZMAGIC section sizes are
    calculated.


Tue Feb 12 13:25:46 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * sunos.c (translate_to_native_sym_flags): fixed
    sym_pointer->n_value so that symbols on the way out get their
    section relative values calculated correctly.

    * coff-code.h (mangle_symbols): fixed problem where tags were not
    being relocated for structs, enums, unions. Also various lints.

Mon Feb 11 19:52:26 1991  Gumby Vinayak Wallace  (gumby at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * archive.c (get_elt_at_filepos): system_call_error returned
      incorrectly.

Sun Feb 10 23:18:40 1991  Gumby Vinayak Wallace  (gumby at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * Resolve the use of no_error and system_call_error.
      The bfd library itself now will never set bfd_error to
      no_error.

      The code still needs to be combed to make sure all the error
      codes are correct.  I suspect they are not always set correctly.

    * The names of all the messages have _ prepended because the sun
      bundled compiler can't distinguish from a macro which takes an
      argument and the same identifier in a non-macro context.

    * The reason for the above being that entry points which used to
      be trampoline functions are now just macros which expand to a
      direct call through the bfd's xfer vector.

    * (../include/intel-coff.h) F_AR32WR: fix this constant.  Why
      must gas have its own version of everything (the gas version
      had the correct value)

Tue Feb  5 11:46:53 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * b.out.c: Added patches supplied by [e-mail] to
    properly support i960 architecture and output correct reloc stuff.

    * bfd.h: added prototype for bfd_printable_arch_mach, added
    BFD_FAIL

    * coff-code.h: Applied patches from chrisb to support i960
    architecture, zero relocs and swap them correcly and conditionally
    compiled the timestamp.

    * sunos.c: Made the default section alignment 2^3 so that doubles
    are done properly. Fixed the same reloc bug that was in b.out.c

    * sysdep.h: Now compiles on a Posix box

Wed Jan 30 21:36:26 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint.cygnus.com)

    * icoff.c:  Fix comment on big-endian version.
    * coff-code.h:  Make HAS_RELOC really work (it's backwards from
    F_RELFLG).  Set F_AR32WR in output files if little endian
    architecture.

Tue Jan 29 20:56:10 PST 1991 [e-mail]

    * archures.c fixed =/== typo

    * sunos.c added architecture stuff for output. Fixed
    bug where files where vma(data) != size(text)
    were processed wrong.

    * coff-code.h added a lint cast

    * (../include/a.out.sun4.h) fixed it so zmagic
    worked

Mon Jan 28 19:15:29 PST 1991 [e-mail]

    * archive.c removed loads of includes, and fixed bug where string
    table didn't have a null at the end.

    * bfd.c fixed includes, added symbols argument to
    canonicalize_reloc entry point.

    * libbfd.c fixed includes and added some lint patches.

    * targets.c added both sorts of intel coff.

    * b.out.c fixed included, changed was the canonical
    relocs were done.

    * icoff.c added support for callj and big and little
    enidian tables.

    * opncls.c added chmod+xing for files with EXEC_P set.

    * sunos.c fixed includes. Changed default section
    alignement to words. Fixed relocation stuff to work with
    new scheme

    * bfd.h various new types added, prototype for new
    reloc calls, changed bfd->iostream to a void *
    to including files don't need stdio.h.

    * libcoff.h added conversion table to tie relocs to
    canonical symbols

    * sysdep.h created

    * coff-code.h fixed includes. Added code to support
    big and little endian formats. Various lints. Better
    processing of symbols. Changed reloc stuff to new
    order

    * libbfd.h fixed includes


Mon Jan 21 11:53:51 PST 1991 [e-mail]

    * bfd.h    changed name of alignment entry in sec_struct to
    alignment_power, because of conflicting uses within bfd.
    Now it should be obvious that it's a 2**n alignment
    specifier. Removed start_pad, end_alignment, block, minsize,
    output_file_alignment, subsection_alignment and original_vma fields.
    Added align_power() macro. Fixed bfd_section_alignment
    acessor macros. Added bfd_symbol_same_target macro.

    * b.out.c (b_out_write_object_contents) fixed to use
    new alignment member. Fixed (callj_callback) to use section
    relative symbols properly.

    * sunos.c (sunos4_object_p) fixed to use new alignment_power.
    Fixed (translate_from_native_sym_flags) to correctly make
    symbols section relative.

    * bfd.c (bfd_errmsg) fixed various enum cast problems.
    (bfd_make_section) took out initialization of obsolete members.
    (bfd_print_symbol_vandf) added

    * opncls.c (bfd_create) created.

    * coff-code.h (coff_new_section_hook) took away refs
    to obsolete members. (make_a_section_from_file) added
    conversion between alignment types. (coff_symbol_from)
    added. (coff_count_linenumbers) only counts linenumbers
    if symbol is of coff-type. (coff_mangle_symbols) only
    heavily mangles symbols if symbol is coff-type.
    (coff_write_symbols) various lints. (coff_write_object_contents)
    various lints and modification for alignment conversion.
    (coff_slurp_relocs) fixed for use with new asection shape.

Sat Jan 19 16:10:42 PST 1991 [e-mail]

    * archive.c lots of lint

    * b.out.c added callj relocation support, upgrated reloc howto.
    Fixed so that asymbol and reloc records are output
    correctly.

    * bfd.c lots of lint, support for new bfd entry point
    bfd_print_symbol.

    * bfd.h changed definition of asymbol to contain pointer to
    owning bfd, removed target dependencies.

    * cache.c took out print statements, put in BFD_ASSERT calls.

    * coff-code.h various lints, corrected linenumber output
    functionality. Added support for new style asymbols and
    bfd_print_symbol. Fixed so that asymbol and

    and bfd_print_symbol.

Wed Jan 16 21:38:09 PST 1991 [e-mail]

    * b.out.c removed prototype of sunos4_ennativate_symtab, lots of
    pointer lint. Added support for callj relocation. Fixed bug where
    the last 32 bytes of the text section were overwritten by data. Fixed bug
    where archives of b.out didn't work due bfd_slurp_extended_name_table
    returning false.

    * sunos.c added support for n_other field. Braced the howto table so
    that it won't be affected by any lengthing of the howto struct typedef.
    Various lints

    * bfd.h added support for n_other field, added special_function
    reloc type, modified bfd_perform_relocation prototype. Added bfd_h_get_x
    macros.

Wed Jan 16 01:55:53 1991  John Gilmore  (gnu at rtl)

    * ChangeLog:  Started ChangeLog for BFD.
    * ToDo:  Create file for suggestions.

    * Makefile:  Support easy loading into Saber C.
    Add dependencies for icoff.o and bcs88kcoff.o.
    Rename coff.c to coff-code.h.  Change callers.

    * bfd.c (bfd_check_format):  Allow the check_format routines
    to return the desired target vector, rather than just a Boolean.
    bfd.h (bfd_check_format):  Change function pointer return type.
    archive.c (bfd_generic_archive_p):  change callee.
    b.out.c (b_out_little_object_p, b_out_big_object_p,
    b_out_real_object_p):  change callee.
    libbfd.c (_bfd_dummy_target):  Dummy routine replacing bfd_false
    in check_format transfer vectors that need a filler.
    libbfd.h (bfd_generic_archive_p, _bfd_dummy_target):  Fix decls.
    bcs88kcoff.c:  change callee.
    coff-code.h (coff_real_object_p, coff_big_object_p):  change callee.
    icoff.c:  change callee.
    sunos.c (sunos4_object_p, sunos4_core_file_p):  change callee.

    * libbfd.c (zalloc):  It should actually zero the storage!
    This was commented out for some reason.

    * libbfd.h:  Add malloc, xmalloc, memcpy, and fatal decls.
    This is so callers can avoid <stdlib.h> which doesn't exist
    on older systems.

    * bfd.c (map_over_sections):  Add debugging code, since I
    noticed the section count for sunos core files was bad, but only
    GDB had detected the problem.
    (bfd_set_section_lineno_size, bfd_set_section_linenos,
    bfd_get_section_linenos):  Remove obsolete functions.
    (bfd_apply_relocations):  Use longs, not ints, for the math.

    * bfd.h:  Declare enum boolean and struct bfd_target as well
    as typedefs for them.  Remove obsolete
    bfd_get_section_lineno_size.

    * cache.c:  Make the "fdopen" support work.  Keep better track
    of how many files are open.  Centralize the opening of files
    and be sure bfd_open[rw] actually try to open the file.  Evade
    linked list initialization problems.

    * b.out.c, coff-code.h, opncls.c, sunos.c:  lint.

    * coff-code.h (coff_slurp_symbol_table):  Null-terminate symtab names.

    * cplus-dem.c:  Delete file, since it is not part of BFD.

    * opncls.c (bfd_openr):  Eliminate misplaced #if 0 code.
    (bfd_openr, bfd_openw):  Actually open the file, give error now.

    * sunos.c (sunos4_core_file_p):  Set section count.
