1032 Implement -z ignore|record for ld.
1034 Implement creating of .gnu.version_r and .gnu.version sections. The
1035 .gnu.version does not yet contain correct info for defined and versioned
1036 symbols (means .gnu.version_d is not yet implemented).
1038 Implement gelf_update_* functions to create versioning data.
1042 Add DT_RUNPATH/DT_RPATH entries to dynamic section. Create .plt and
1043 .rel.plt sections (completely). Add support for all four PLT related
1044 dynamic section entries. Add callback function for PLT creation.
1046 More tests in elflint. Add support for very strict checking which for
1047 now flags level 2 (deprecated features) usage.
1051 Create dynamic symbol table, dynamic string table, and hash table to ld.
1053 Add hash table histogram support to readelf.
1057 more work on elflint
1059 ld now creates the dynamic section and references it. Start adding entries
1064 Start implementing elflint.
1068 Fix handling of NOBITS sections in elf_getdata.
1070 Start implementing generation of executables and DSOs in ld.
1071 Generation of program header mostly done. Address computation done.
1072 Extension of linker script syntax.
1076 Implement section group handling in readelf.
1080 Implement section groups. This involved a lot of code moving. The
1081 new code is entirely untested since gas/gcc are currently not able to
1082 create section groups. ld works fine on files without section groups.
1086 Fix problem with adding more section in elf_newscn. The section pointers
1087 for the data buffers wasn't adjusted.
1089 Fix elf_getdata with nonzero second parameter. Correctly handle creation
1090 of internal data buffer for machines without unaligned access.
1094 Start adding support to selectively add sections. Includes support for
1096 Add --gc-sections/--no-gc-sections options.
1097 Add general section merging support.
1099 Fix a bug in section group support in strip.
1101 Fix some potential problems with hash value in dynamic hash implementation.
1105 section merging works in ld.
1109 Actually create data structures from version map file and use it to hide
1112 Implement -s -s for ld.
1116 Improve relocation table output in readelf. Avoid some crashes.
1117 Finish many section handling in readelf.
1119 Finish: finish implementation of ld -r. At least some simple tests pass.
1123 Fix a number of errors in ELF_C_WRITE handling.
1125 Almost finished implementation of ld -r. The data sections are all copied.
1126 Handling of symbol tables is missing.
1130 Handle DSO and archive input files correctly if -r option is given.
1132 Gracefully deal with no phdr in new file in libelf.
1133 Fix various small error handling problems.
1134 Don't mmap file for output unless the command says so.
1136 Add code to create ELF section header table to ld finalize routines.
1140 Fix some problems with recursive handling of archives in libelf.
1142 Improve messages printed by nm.
1144 Add symbol binding name handling to libebl. Fix section name handling in
1147 readelf and nm use more libebl functions.
1149 Handle XINDEX correctly in nm and string.
1151 Add first machine ld backend library (i386).
1152 Use it. Recognize -r and --shared. Avoid using -lxxx parameters for -r.
1153 Create ELF header in output file. Change mode of output file according to
1154 output file type. Reorganize callback initialization in ld.
1158 Fix some memory leaks in libelf.
1162 Implement reading version script. Both inside linker scripts and via the
1163 --version-script command line parameter. Uses the same code.
1164 What remains to be done is to implement a data structure which allows
1165 efficient matching against the version names to decide which pattern
1168 Beginning of output generation and output writing functions.
1172 Finish implementation for DSO input file handling. Implement rpath, runpath,
1173 and LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling.
1177 make handling of e_shnum overflow in libelf standard conforming
1179 ld now actually can handle DSOs in linker scripts. Handling of DT_RUNPATH,
1180 DT_RPATH, -rpath, -rpath-link still remains to be implemented.
1182 fix handling of -L parameters. Make actual use of the default_paths element.
1184 make re-definition of symbols in and from DSO compatible with existing linker
1188 more work on assigning input sections to output sections.
1190 Add gelf_xlatetof and gelf_xlatetom which were accidently left out.
1192 Fix memory handling of section headers.
1196 Add many-section support to ld. Add various new command line parameters.
1197 Allow pagesize to be specified in linker script or on the command line.
1198 Collect input sections in list for the output section according to the rules
1199 specified in the linker script.
1203 Fix some problems in the internal list handling which had the result
1204 that we didn't look for some of the unresolved symbols.
1206 Free some memory if we know we don't need it anymore.
1208 Optimize the list of unresolved symbols. Throw out symbols which are
1213 Got file reading correct now. The files are all read while parsing
1214 the parameters. No creating of data structures to describe the linker
1215 command line. The symbol table is built up while reading the files.
1216 DSOs are handled now. -( -) handling is optimized.
1220 Linker read linker scripts everywhere. Handles --whole-archive. Recognizes
1221 --dynamic and --static. Collects defined and undefined symbols. Recognizes
1224 libebl now defines functions to call the callbacks. Add generic name handling
1225 in these new functions. Remove the code from readelf and call the new
1230 Start of linker. Basic argument parsing, finding of input files,
1231 linker script reading.
1235 Implement dwarf_get_fde_n(), dwarf_get_abbrev(), dwarf_get_abbrev_tag(),
1236 dwarf_get_abbrev_code(), dwarf_get_abbrev_children_flag(),

1242 dwarf_get_fde_range(), dwarf_get_cie_info(), dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes(),
1247 Make handling of binaries in other byte order work and add tests for it.
