+
+ A major rewrite to move the bulk of the linker into BFD so that
+ more efficient backend code can be written for specific object
+ files.
+ * lderror.c, lderror.h, ldindr.c, ldindr.h, ldsym.c, ldsym.h,
+ ldwarn.c, ldwarn.h, relax.c, relax.h: Removed.
+ * ldctor.c, ldctor.h: Complete rewrite.
+ * ldwrite.c, ldwrite.h: Complete rewrite.
+ * ld.h (strip_symbols_type, strip_symbols): Removed. Use
+ link_info.strip instead. Changed all uses.
+ (discard_locals_type, discard_locals): Removed. Use
+ link_info.discard instead. Changed all uses.
+ (ld_config_type): Removed relocateable_output field; use
+ link_info.relocateable instead; changed all uses. Added stats
+ field.
+ (set_asymbol_chain, get_asymbol_chain, get_loader_symbol,
+ set_loader_symbol): Removed.
+ * ldexp.h (node_class): Added etree_rel.
+ (etree_type): Added rel field.
+ * ldexp.c (exp_print_token): Bracketed table initialization.
+ (exp_relop): New function.
+ (fold_name): Use linker hash table rather than ldsym functions.
+ (exp_fold_tree): Likewise. Also, handle etree_rel case.
+ (exp_print_tree): Handle etree_rel.
+ * ldgram.y (strip_symbols, discard_locals): Removed.
+ (OPTION_stats, OPTION_no_keep_memory): New tokens. Handle them.
+ (REL): New token. Does not appear in grammar, but needed for
+ expression code.
+ (file): Don't call lang_final; it's called by main anyhow.
+ * ldlex.l: Accept -stats and -no-keep-memory options.
+ * ldlang.h (fill_type): Make unsigned int, not unsigned short.
+ * ldlang.c: Consistently use fill_type for fill argument.
+ (lang_init_script_file, script_file): Removed.
+ (create_object_symbols): Removed. Use
+ link_info.create_object_symbols_section instead. Changed all
+ uses.
+ (lang_add_keepsyms_file): Removed.
+ (lookup_name): Call bfd_link_add_symbols instead of
+ ldmain_open_file_read_symbol.
+ (wild): Don't iterate over script_file.
+ (open_output): Create link hash table.
+ (lang_place_undefineds): Rewrote.
+ (lang_size_sections): Handle relaxing (doesn't work yet).
+ (lang_relocate_globals): Removed.
+ (lang_finish): Use link hash table rather than ldsym functions.
+ (lang_common): Rewrote.
+ (lang_one_common): New function.
+ (ldlang_add_file): Add file to link_info.input_bfds list. Set
+ usrdata.
+ (create_symbol): Removed.
+ (lang_process): Don't call lang_init_script_file. Call
+ ldctor_build_sets rather than find_constructors. Don't call
+ lang_relocate_globals.
+ (lang_abs_symbol_at_beginning_of): Rewrote.
+ (lang_abs_symbol_at_end_of): Rewrote.
+ * ldmain.c (had_y): Removed.
+ (lprefix, lprefix_len): Removed; use link_info fields instead.
+ Changed all uses.
+ (multiple_def_count, commons_pending, undefined_global_sym_count,
+ total_symbols_seen, total_files_seen): Removed.
+ (link_callbacks, link_info): New variables.
+ (main): Initialize link_info. Don't call init_bfd_error_vector or
+ ldsym_init. Don't set now unused variables. Handle -stats.
+ (get_emulation): Removed obsolete and nonfunctional GNU960 code.
+ (add_ysym): Rewrote.
+ (read_entry_symbols, refize, enter_global_ref, enter_file_symbols,
+ search_library, gnu960_check_format, decode_library_subfile,
+ linear_library, symdef_library, clear_syms, subfile_wanted_p):
+ Removed.
+ (add_keepsyms_file, add_archive_element, multiple_definition,
+ multiple_common, add_to_set, warning_callback, undefined_symbol,
+ reloc_overflow, reloc_dangerous, unattached_reloc, notice_ysym):
+ New functions.
+ * ldmisc.c (vfinfo): Accept a string for %T, not a symbol. Don't
+ require symbols for %C; look them up instead.
+ * emultempl/hppaosf.em: Pass link_info to
+ hppa_look_for_stubs_in_section.
+ * Makefile.in: Rebuilt dependencies.
+ (CFILES): Removed lderror.c, ldindr.c, ldsym.c, ldwarn.c, and
+ relax.c.
+ (HFILES): Removed lderror.h, ldindr.h, ldsym.h, ldwarn.h, and
+ relax.h.
+ (EMULATION_OFILES): Depend on bfdlink.h, ldmain.h, ldexp.h,
+ ldlang.h and ldctor.h.
+
+ * Makefile.in (ldlex.c): Don't depend on ldgram.h. Remove
+ declarations of free and malloc from flex output. Change malloc
+ to ldmalloc in flex output.

+ * ldmain.c (lprefix): Change default from a char to a string
+ with only one character.
+ (lprefix_len): Set default to one.
+
+ * ldmain.h (lprefix_len): Declare.
+
+ * ldsym.c (write_file_locals): Use strncmp rather than a character
+ comparison for lprefix.
+
+ * emultmpl/m88kbcs.em (before_parse): Set lprefix and lprefix_len
+ correctly.
+
+ * emultmpl/hppaosf.em: Include ldexp.h.
+ (before_parse): Set lprefix and lprefix_len correctly.
