Things that still need to be done: -*- Text -*-
|

|
||
o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent code
|
||
is in a single bfd_target structure. Hence all the code for
|
||
*writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications
|
||
that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas has
|
||
to carry along all the unneeded baggage for reading objects. And
|
||
so on. This would be a substantial change, and the payoff would
|
||
not all that great (essentially none if bfd is used as a shared
|
||
library).
|
||
|
||
o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly
|
||
needed. This may be difficult to do much about.
|
||
|
||
o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the
|
||
filesystem.
|
||
|
||
o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out
|
||
the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks.
|
||
|
||
o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion.
