/* This file defines functions (and commands to exercise those
|
||
functions) for reading debugging information from object files
|
||
whose images are mapped directly into the inferior's memory. For
|
||
example, the Linux kernel maps a "syscall DSO" into each process's
|
||
address space; this DSO provides kernel-specific code for some
|
||
system calls.
|
||
|
||
At the moment, BFD only has functions for parsing object files from
|
||
memory for the ELF format, even though the general idea isn't
|
||
ELF-specific. This means that BFD only provides the functions GDB
|
||
needs when configured for ELF-based targets. So these functions
|
||
may only be compiled on ELF-based targets.
|
||
|
||
GDB has no idea whether it has been configured for an ELF-based
|
||
target or not: it just tries to handle whatever files it is given.
|
||
But this means there are no preprocessor symbols on which we could
|
||
make these functions' compilation conditional.
|
||
|
||
So, for the time being, we put these functions alone in this file,
|
||
and have .mt files reference them as appropriate. In the future, I
|
||
hope BFD will provide a format-independent bfd_from_remote_memory
|
||
entry point. */
