1*3d8817e4Smiod@section ELF backends 2*3d8817e4SmiodBFD support for ELF formats is being worked on. 3*3d8817e4SmiodCurrently, the best supported back ends are for sparc and i386 4*3d8817e4Smiod(running svr4 or Solaris 2). 5*3d8817e4Smiod 6*3d8817e4SmiodDocumentation of the internals of the support code still needs 7*3d8817e4Smiodto be written. The code is changing quickly enough that we 8*3d8817e4Smiodhaven't bothered yet. 9*3d8817e4Smiod 10*3d8817e4Smiod@findex bfd_elf_find_section 11*3d8817e4Smiod@subsubsection @code{bfd_elf_find_section} 12*3d8817e4Smiod@strong{Synopsis} 13*3d8817e4Smiod@example 14*3d8817e4Smiodstruct elf_internal_shdr *bfd_elf_find_section (bfd *abfd, char *name); 15*3d8817e4Smiod@end example 16*3d8817e4Smiod@strong{Description}@* 17*3d8817e4SmiodHelper functions for GDB to locate the string tables. 18*3d8817e4SmiodSince BFD hides string tables from callers, GDB needs to use an 19*3d8817e4Smiodinternal hook to find them. Sun's .stabstr, in particular, 20*3d8817e4Smiodisn't even pointed to by the .stab section, so ordinary 21*3d8817e4Smiodmechanisms wouldn't work to find it, even if we had some. 22*3d8817e4Smiod 23
