   This is the structure of a relocation entry:

     typedef struct reloc_cache_entry
     {
            /* A pointer into the canonical table of pointers  */
       struct symbol_cache_entry **sym_ptr_ptr;
     
            /* offset in section */
       bfd_size_type address;
     
            /* addend for relocation value */
       bfd_vma addend;
     
            /* Pointer to how to perform the required relocation */
       reloc_howto_type *howto;
     
     } arelent;
   *Description*
Here is a description of each of the fields within an `arelent':

   * `sym_ptr_ptr'
   The symbol table pointer points to a pointer to the symbol
associated with the relocation request.  It is the pointer into the
table returned by the back end's `get_symtab' action. *Note Symbols::.
The symbol is referenced through a pointer to a pointer so that tools
like the linker can fix up all the symbols of the same name by
modifying only one pointer. The relocation routine looks in the symbol
and uses the base of the section the symbol is attached to and the
value of the symbol as the initial relocation offset. If the symbol
pointer is zero, then the section provided is looked up.

   * `address'
   The `address' field gives the offset in bytes from the base of the
section data which owns the relocation record to the first byte of
relocatable information. The actual data relocated will be relative to
this point; for example, a relocation type which modifies the bottom
two bytes of a four byte word would not touch the first byte pointed to
in a big endian world.

   * `addend'
   The `addend' is a value provided by the back end to be added (!)  to
the relocation offset. Its interpretation is dependent upon the howto.
For example, on the 68k the code:

             char foo[];
             main()
                     {
                     return foo[0x12345678];
                     }

   Could be compiled into:

             linkw fp,#-4
             moveb @#12345678,d0
             extbl d0
             unlk fp
             rts

   This could create a reloc pointing to `foo', but leave the offset in
the data, something like:

     RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
     offset   type      value
     00000006 32        _foo
     
     00000000 4e56 fffc          ; linkw fp,#-4
     00000004 1039 1234 5678     ; moveb @#12345678,d0
     0000000a 49c0               ; extbl d0
     0000000c 4e5e               ; unlk fp
     0000000e 4e75               ; rts

   Using coff and an 88k, some instructions don't have enough space in
them to represent the full address range, and pointers have to be
loaded in two parts. So you'd get something like:

             or.u     r13,r0,hi16(_foo+0x12345678)
             ld.b     r2,r13,lo16(_foo+0x12345678)
             jmp      r1

   This should create two relocs, both pointing to `_foo', and with
0x12340000 in their addend field. The data would consist of:

     RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
     offset   type      value
     00000002 HVRT16    _foo+0x12340000
     00000006 LVRT16    _foo+0x12340000
     
     00000000 5da05678           ; or.u r13,r0,0x5678
     00000004 1c4d5678           ; ld.b r2,r13,0x5678
     00000008 f400c001           ; jmp r1

   The relocation routine digs out the value from the data, adds it to
the addend to get the original offset, and then adds the value of
`_foo'. Note that all 32 bits have to be kept around somewhere, to cope
with carry from bit 15 to bit 16.

   One further example is the sparc and the a.out format. The sparc has
a similar problem to the 88k, in that some instructions don't have room
for an entire offset, but on the sparc the parts are created in odd
sized lumps. The designers of the a.out format chose to not use the
data within the section for storing part of the offset; all the offset
is kept within the reloc. Anything in the data should be ignored.

             save %sp,-112,%sp
             sethi %hi(_foo+0x12345678),%g2
             ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0x12345678)],%i0
             ret
             restore

   Both relocs contain a pointer to `foo', and the offsets contain junk.

     RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
     offset   type      value
     00000004 HI22      _foo+0x12345678
     00000008 LO10      _foo+0x12345678
     
     00000000 9de3bf90     ; save %sp,-112,%sp
     00000004 05000000     ; sethi %hi(_foo+0),%g2
     00000008 f048a000     ; ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0)],%i0
     0000000c 81c7e008     ; ret
     00000010 81e80000     ; restore

   * `howto'
   The `howto' field can be imagined as a relocation instruction. It is
a pointer to a structure which contains information on what to do with
all of the other information in the reloc record and data section. A
back end would normally have a relocation instruction set and turn
relocations into pointers to the correct structure on input - but it
would be possible to create each howto field on demand.

`enum complain_overflow'
........................

   Indicates what sort of overflow checking should be done when
performing a relocation.


     enum complain_overflow
     {
            /* Do not complain on overflow. */
       complain_overflow_dont,
     
            /* Complain if the bitfield overflows, whether it is considered
               as signed or unsigned. */
       complain_overflow_bitfield,
     
            /* Complain if the value overflows when considered as signed
               number. */
       complain_overflow_signed,
     
            /* Complain if the value overflows when considered as an
               unsigned number. */
       complain_overflow_unsigned
     };

`reloc_howto_type'
..................

   The `reloc_howto_type' is a structure which contains all the
information that libbfd needs to know to tie up a back end's data.

     struct symbol_cache_entry;             /* Forward declaration */
     
     struct reloc_howto_struct
     {
            /*  The type field has mainly a documentary use - the back end can
                do what it wants with it, though normally the back end's
                external idea of what a reloc number is stored
                in this field. For example, a PC relative word relocation
                in a coff environment has the type 023 - because that's
                what the outside world calls a R_PCRWORD reloc. */
       unsigned int type;
     
            /*  The value the final relocation is shifted right by. This drops
                unwanted data from the relocation.  */
       unsigned int rightshift;
     
            /*  The size of the item to be relocated.  This is *not* a
                power-of-two measure.  To get the number of bytes operated
                on by a type of relocation, use bfd_get_reloc_size.  */
       int size;
     
            /*  The number of bits in the item to be relocated.  This is used
                when doing overflow checking.  */
       unsigned int bitsize;
     
            /*  Notes that the relocation is relative to the location in the
                data section of the addend. The relocation function will
                subtract from the relocation value the address of the location
                being relocated. */
       boolean pc_relative;
     
            /*  The bit position of the reloc value in the destination.
                The relocated value is left shifted by this amount. */
       unsigned int bitpos;
     
            /* What type of overflow error should be checked for when
               relocating. */
       enum complain_overflow complain_on_overflow;
     
            /* If this field is non null, then the supplied function is
               called rather than the normal function. This allows really
               strange relocation methods to be accomodated (e.g., i960 callj
               instructions). */

               rather than with the relocation.  For ELF formats this is the
               distinction between USE_REL and USE_RELA (though the code checks
               for USE_REL == 1/0).  The value of this field is TRUE if the
               addend is recorded with the section contents; when performing a
               partial link (ld -r) the section contents (the data) will be

               a partial link the relocation will be modified.
               All relocations for all ELF USE_RELA targets should set this field
               to FALSE (values of TRUE should be looked on with suspicion).
               However, the converse is not true: not all relocations of all ELF
               USE_REL targets set this field to TRUE.  Why this is so is peculiar
               to each particular target.  For relocs that aren't used in partial

`The HOWTO Macro'
.................

   *Description*
The HOWTO define is horrible and will go away.
     #define HOWTO(C, R,S,B, P, BI, O, SF, NAME, INPLACE, MASKSRC, MASKDST, PC) \
       {(unsigned)C,R,S,B, P, BI, O,SF,NAME,INPLACE,MASKSRC,MASKDST,PC}

   *Description*
And will be replaced with the totally magic way. But for the moment, we
are compatible, so do it this way.
     #define NEWHOWTO( FUNCTION, NAME,SIZE,REL,IN) HOWTO(0,0,SIZE,0,REL,0,complain_overflow_dont,FUNCTION, NAME,false,0,0,IN)

   *Description*
This is used to fill in an empty howto entry in an array.
     #define EMPTY_HOWTO(C) \
       HOWTO((C),0,0,0,false,0,complain_overflow_dont,NULL,NULL,false,0,0,false)

   *Description*
Helper routine to turn a symbol into a relocation value.
     #define HOWTO_PREPARE(relocation, symbol)      \
       {                                            \

         }                                          \
       }                                            \
     }

`bfd_get_reloc_size'
....................

   *Synopsis*
     unsigned int bfd_get_reloc_size (reloc_howto_type *);
   *Description*
For a reloc_howto_type that operates on a fixed number of bytes, this
returns the number of bytes operated on.

`arelent_chain'
...............

   *Description*
How relocs are tied together in an `asection':
     typedef struct relent_chain {
       arelent relent;
       struct   relent_chain *next;
     } arelent_chain;

`bfd_check_overflow'
....................

   *Synopsis*
     bfd_reloc_status_type
     bfd_check_overflow
        (enum complain_overflow how,
         unsigned int bitsize,
         unsigned int rightshift,
         unsigned int addrsize,
         bfd_vma relocation);
   *Description*
Perform overflow checking on RELOCATION which has BITSIZE significant
bits and will be shifted right by RIGHTSHIFT bits, on a machine with
addresses containing ADDRSIZE significant bits.  The result is either of
`bfd_reloc_ok' or `bfd_reloc_overflow'.

`bfd_perform_relocation'
........................

   *Synopsis*
     bfd_reloc_status_type
     bfd_perform_relocation
        (bfd *abfd,
         arelent *reloc_entry,
         PTR data,
         asection *input_section,
         bfd *output_bfd,
         char **error_message);
   *Description*
If OUTPUT_BFD is supplied to this function, the generated image will be
relocatable; the relocations are copied to the output file after they
have been changed to reflect the new state of the world. There are two
ways of reflecting the results of partial linkage in an output file: by
modifying the output data in place, and by modifying the relocation
record.  Some native formats (e.g., basic a.out and basic coff) have no
way of specifying an addend in the relocation type, so the addend has
to go in the output data.  This is no big deal since in these formats
the output data slot will always be big enough for the addend. Complex
reloc types with addends were invented to solve just this problem.  The
ERROR_MESSAGE argument is set to an error message if this return
`bfd_reloc_dangerous'.

`bfd_install_relocation'
........................

   *Synopsis*
     bfd_reloc_status_type
     bfd_install_relocation
        (bfd *abfd,
         arelent *reloc_entry,
         PTR data, bfd_vma data_start,
         asection *input_section,
         char **error_message);
   *Description*
This looks remarkably like `bfd_perform_relocation', except it does not
expect that the section contents have been filled in.  I.e., it's
suitable for use when creating, rather than applying a relocation.

   For now, this function should be considered reserved for the
assembler.


File: bfd.info,  Node: howto manager,  Prev: typedef arelent,  Up: Relocations

The howto manager
=================

   When an application wants to create a relocation, but doesn't know
what the target machine might call it, it can find out by using this
bit of code.

`bfd_reloc_code_type'
.....................

   *Description*
The insides of a reloc code.  The idea is that, eventually, there will
be one enumerator for every type of relocation we ever do.  Pass one of
these values to `bfd_reloc_type_lookup', and it'll return a howto
pointer.

   This does mean that the application must determine the correct
enumerator value; you can't get a howto pointer from a random set of
attributes.

   Here are the possible values for `enum bfd_reloc_code_real':

 - : BFD_RELOC_64
 - : BFD_RELOC_32
 - : BFD_RELOC_26
 - : BFD_RELOC_24
 - : BFD_RELOC_16
 - : BFD_RELOC_14
 - : BFD_RELOC_8
     Basic absolute relocations of N bits.

 - : BFD_RELOC_64_PCREL
 - : BFD_RELOC_32_PCREL
 - : BFD_RELOC_24_PCREL
 - : BFD_RELOC_16_PCREL
 - : BFD_RELOC_12_PCREL
 - : BFD_RELOC_8_PCREL
     PC-relative relocations.  Sometimes these are relative to the
     address of the relocation itself; sometimes they are relative to
     the start of the section containing the relocation.  It depends on
     the specific target.

     The 24-bit relocation is used in some Intel 960 configurations.

 - : BFD_RELOC_32_GOT_PCREL

 - : BFD_RELOC_8_GOT_PCREL

     These PC-relative relocations are stored as word displacements -
     i.e., byte displacements shifted right two bits.  The 30-bit word
     displacement (<<32_PCREL_S2>> - 32 bits, shifted 2) is used on the
     SPARC.  (SPARC tools generally refer to this as <<WDISP30>>.)  The
     signed 16-bit displacement is used on the MIPS, and the 23-bit
     displacement is used on the Alpha.

 - : BFD_RELOC_HI22
 - : BFD_RELOC_LO10
     High 22 bits and low 10 bits of 32-bit value, placed into lower
     bits of the target word.  These are used on the SPARC.

     For systems that allocate a Global Pointer register, these are
     displacements off that register.  These relocation types are
     handled specially, because the value the register will have is
     decided relatively late.

     SPARC64 relocations

 - : BFD_RELOC_SPARC_REV32
     SPARC little endian relocation

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPDISP_HI16
     Alpha ECOFF and ELF relocations.  Some of these treat the symbol or
     "addend" in some special way.  For GPDISP_HI16 ("gpdisp")
     relocations, the symbol is ignored when writing; when reading, it
     will be the absolute section symbol.  The addend is the
     displacement in bytes of the "lda" instruction from the "ldah"
     instruction (which is at the address of this reloc).

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPDISP_LO16
     For GPDISP_LO16 ("ignore") relocations, the symbol is handled as
     with GPDISP_HI16 relocs.  The addend is ignored when writing the
     relocations out, and is filled in with the file's GP value on
     reading, for convenience.

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_GPDISP
     The ELF GPDISP relocation is exactly the same as the GPDISP_HI16
     relocation except that there is no accompanying GPDISP_LO16
     relocation.

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_LITERAL
 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_ELF_LITERAL
 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_LITUSE
     The Alpha LITERAL/LITUSE relocs are produced by a symbol reference;
     the assembler turns it into a LDQ instruction to load the address
     of the symbol, and then fills in a register in the real
     instruction.

     The LITERAL reloc, at the LDQ instruction, refers to the .lita
     section symbol.  The addend is ignored when writing, but is filled
     in with the file's GP value on reading, for convenience, as with
     the GPDISP_LO16 reloc.

     The ELF_LITERAL reloc is somewhere between 16_GOTOFF and
     GPDISP_LO16.  It should refer to the symbol to be referenced, as
     with 16_GOTOFF, but it generates output not based on the position
     within the .got section, but relative to the GP value chosen for
     the file during the final link stage.

     The LITUSE reloc, on the instruction using the loaded address,
     gives information to the linker that it might be able to use to
     optimize away some literal section references.  The symbol is
     ignored (read as the absolute section symbol), and the "addend"
     indicates the type of instruction using the register: 1 - "memory"
     fmt insn 2 - byte-manipulation (byte offset reg) 3 - jsr (target
     of branch)

     The GNU linker currently doesn't do any of this optimizing.

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_USER_GPDISP
 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_USER_GPRELHIGH
 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_USER_GPRELLOW
     The BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_USER_* relocations are used by the assembler to
     process the explicit !<reloc>!sequence relocations, and are mapped
     into the normal relocations at the end of processing.

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_HINT
     The HINT relocation indicates a value that should be filled into
     the "hint" field of a jmp/jsr/ret instruction, for possible branch-
     prediction logic which may be provided on some processors.

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_LINKAGE
     The LINKAGE relocation outputs a linkage pair in the object file,
     which is filled by the linker.

 - : BFD_RELOC_ALPHA_CODEADDR
     The CODEADDR relocation outputs a STO_CA in the object file, which
     is filled by the linker.

     High 16 bits of 32-bit value but the low 16 bits will be sign
     extended and added to form the final result.  If the low 16 bits
     form a negative number, we need to add one to the high value to
     compensate for the borrow when the low bits are added.

 - : BFD_RELOC_VTABLE_INHERIT
 - : BFD_RELOC_VTABLE_ENTRY
     These two relocations are used by the linker to determine which of
     the entries in a C++ virtual function table are actually used.
     When the -gc-sections option is given, the linker will zero out
     the entries that are not used, so that the code for those
     functions need not be included in the output.

     VTABLE_INHERIT is a zero-space relocation used to describe to the
     linker the inheritence tree of a C++ virtual function table.  The
     relocation's symbol should be the parent class' vtable, and the
     relocation should be located at the child vtable.

     VTABLE_ENTRY is a zero-space relocation that describes the use of a
     virtual function table entry.  The reloc's symbol should refer to
     the table of the class mentioned in the code.  Off of that base,
     an offset describes the entry that is being used.  For Rela hosts,
     this offset is stored in the reloc's addend.  For Rel hosts, we
     are forced to put this offset in the reloc's section offset.
