Now a bfd knows whether underscores are normally prepended
to symbols in its file format. Helps with error messages.
* aout-adobe.c, aout-target.h, bout.c, coff-a29k.c, coff-h8300.c,
coff-z8k.c: targets set so they have leading underscore
* coff-i386.c, coff-i960.c, coff-m68k.c, coff-mips.c, coff-m88k.c,
coff-rs6000.c, coff-we32k.c, elf.c, ieee.c, srec.c: targets set
without leading underscore flag
* targets.c: add symbol leading char to xvec description
* bfd-in.h (bfd_get_symbol_leading_char): new macro.
* working reloc lookup support
* better support for creation of COFF files from scratch
* misc doc changes, macro tweaks, "const" additions, typo fixes, etc.
* one or two ugly kludges that should get cleaned up (but what's one
or two more, in BFD?)
See ChangeLog for details.
* 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
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.
Remove obstack.h to ../include and obstack.c to ../libiberty.
Move COFF symbol swapping code to coffswap.c where GDB can call it but it
won't be duplicated if we have N different COFF targets.
Add support for traditional Unix core files (with a upage). This support
is from an Ultrix port, but is probably slightly broken now.
Improve bfd_release's of obstack'd items on error returns.
gcc -Wall fixes.
Handle section alignment slightly better in coff, and comment where it
needs more work (on page-aligning virtual vs file addresses for DPAGED).
Use set_tdata everywhere that tdata is set, to avoid "cast to the left
of assignment" problems with some compilers.
Move bfd_alloc, bfd_zalloc, bfd_realloc, and bfd_release into libbfd.h
(from bfd.h) since they are internal routines.
Remove the redundant suffix "_struct" from struct tags.
Set symbol count early in file reading, before slurping in the syms,
for GDB's use.
