Pack reloc_howto_struct
This patch uses bitfields in reloc_howto_struct, reducing its size
from 80 to 40 bytes on 64-bit hosts and from 52 to 32 bytes on 32-bit
hosts (with a 32-bit bfd_vma). I've also added a new "negate" field
rather than making the encoded "size" field do double duty as both
a size and a flag.
There was just one use of an encoded size of 8, which according to
bfd_get_reloc_size meant 16 bytes, in vms-alpha.c ALPHA_R_LINKAGE.
See git commit
c3d8e071bf adding ALPHA_R_LINKAGE and git commit
8612a388f7 decoding size 8 in bfd_get_reloc_size. Since no other part
of BFD handles 16 byte relocs, I've removed that encoding and special
cased the ALPHA_R_LINKAGE size in vms-alpha.c.
* reloc.c (reloc_howto_type): Typedef.
(bfd_symbol): Delete forward declaration.
(struct reloc_howto_struct): Add "negate" field. Make "size",
"bitsize", "rightshift", "bitpos", "complain_on_overflow",
"pc_relative", "partial_inplace", and "pcrel_offset" bitfields.
Rearrange for better packing. Revise comments.
(HOWTO): Map to rearranged reloc_howto_struct.
(bfd_get_reloc_size): Delete now unused cases.
(read_reloc, write_reloc): Likewise.
(apply_reloc, _bfd_relocate_contents): Test howto->negate
rather than howto->size < 0 for negated relocation values.
* coff-rs6000.c (xcoff_complain_overflow_bitfield_func): Avoid
signed/unsigned warning.
(xcoff_ppc_relocate_section): Delete "condition is always false"
code.
* coff64-rs6000.c (xcoff64_ppc_relocate_section): Likewise.
* cpu-ns32k.c (do_ns32k_reloc): Adjust to suit reloc_howto_struct
changes.
* vms-alpha.c (_bfd_vms_write_etir, alpha_vms_slurp_relocs): Use
size 16 for ALPHA_R_LINKAGE.
(alpha_howto_table <ALPHA_R_LINKAGE>): Set encoded size and
bitsize to zero.
* bfd-in.h (reloc_howto_type): Delete.
* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.
