SECTION
	Linker Functions

@cindex Linker
	The linker uses three special entry points in the BFD target
	vector.  It is not necessary to write special routines for
	these entry points when creating a new BFD back end, since
	generic versions are provided.  However, writing them can
	speed up linking and make it use significantly less runtime
	memory.

	The first routine creates a hash table used by the other
	routines.  The second routine adds the symbols from an object
	file to the hash table.  The third routine takes all the
	object files and links them together to create the output
	file.  These routines are designed so that the linker proper
	does not need to know anything about the symbols in the object
	files that it is linking.  The linker merely arranges the
	sections as directed by the linker script and lets BFD handle
	the details of symbols and relocs.

	The second routine and third routines are passed a pointer to
	a <<struct bfd_link_info>> structure (defined in
	<<bfdlink.h>>) which holds information relevant to the link,
	including the linker hash table (which was created by the
	first routine) and a set of callback functions to the linker
	proper.

	The generic linker routines are in <<linker.c>>, and use the
	header file <<genlink.h>>.  As of this writing, the only back
	ends which have implemented versions of these routines are
	a.out (in <<aoutx.h>>) and ECOFF (in <<ecoff.c>>).  The a.out
	routines are used as examples throughout this section.

SUBSECTION
	Creating a linker hash table

@cindex _bfd_link_hash_table_create in target vector
@cindex target vector (_bfd_link_hash_table_create)
	The linker routines must create a hash table, which must be
	derived from <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>> described in
	<<bfdlink.c>>.  @xref{Hash Tables}, for information on how to
	create a derived hash table.  This entry point is called using
	the target vector of the linker output file.

	The <<_bfd_link_hash_table_create>> entry point must allocate
	and initialize an instance of the desired hash table.  If the
	back end does not require any additional information to be
	stored with the entries in the hash table, the entry point may
	simply create a <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>>.  Most likely,
	however, some additional information will be needed.

	For example, with each entry in the hash table the a.out
	linker keeps the index the symbol has in the final output file
	(this index number is used so that when doing a relocatable
	link the symbol index used in the output file can be quickly
	filled in when copying over a reloc).  The a.out linker code
	defines the required structures and functions for a hash table
	derived from <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>>.  The a.out linker
	hash table is created by the function
	<<NAME(aout,link_hash_table_create)>>; it simply allocates
	space for the hash table, initializes it, and returns a
	pointer to it.

	When writing the linker routines for a new back end, you will
	generally not know exactly which fields will be required until
	you have finished.  You should simply create a new hash table
	which defines no additional fields, and then simply add fields
	as they become necessary.

@cindex target vector (_bfd_link_add_symbols)
	The linker proper will call the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>>
	entry point for each object file or archive which is to be
	linked (typically these are the files named on the command
	line, but some may also come from the linker script).  The
	entry point is responsible for examining the file.  For an
	object file, BFD must add any relevant symbol information to
	the hash table.  For an archive, BFD must determine which
	elements of the archive should be used and adding them to the
	link.

	The a.out version of this entry point is
	<<NAME(aout,link_add_symbols)>>.

SUBSUBSECTION
	Differing file formats

	Normally all the files involved in a link will be of the same
	format, but it is also possible to link together different
	format object files, and the back end must support that.  The
	<<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> entry point is called via the target
	vector of the file to be added.  This has an important
	consequence: the function may not assume that the hash table
	is the type created by the corresponding
	<<_bfd_link_hash_table_create>> vector.  All the
	<<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function can assume about the hash
	table is that it is derived from <<struct
	bfd_link_hash_table>>.

	Sometimes the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function must store
	some information in the hash table entry to be used by the
	<<_bfd_final_link>> function.  In such a case the output bfd
	xvec must be checked to make sure that the hash table was
	created by an object file of the same format.

	The <<_bfd_final_link>> routine must be prepared to handle a
	hash entry without any extra information added by the
	<<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function.  A hash entry without
	extra information will also occur when the linker script
	directs the linker to create a symbol.  Note that, regardless
	of how a hash table entry is added, all the fields will be
	initialized to some sort of null value by the hash table entry
	initialization function.

	See <<ecoff_link_add_externals>> for an example of how to
	check the output bfd before saving information (in this
	case, the ECOFF external symbol debugging information) in a
	hash table entry.

SUBSUBSECTION
	Adding symbols from an object file

	When the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine is passed an object
	file, it must add all externally visible symbols in that
	object file to the hash table.  The actual work of adding the
	symbol to the hash table is normally handled by the function
	<<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>>.  The
	<<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine is responsible for reading
	all the symbols from the object file and passing the correct
	information to <<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>>.

	The <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine should not use
	<<bfd_canonicalize_symtab>> to read the symbols.  The point of
	providing this routine is to avoid the overhead of converting
	the symbols into generic <<asymbol>> structures.

@findex _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol
	<<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>> handles the details of
	combining common symbols, warning about multiple definitions,
	and so forth.  It takes arguments which describe the symbol to
	add, notably symbol flags, a section, and an offset.  The
	symbol flags include such things as <<BSF_WEAK>> or
	<<BSF_INDIRECT>>.  The section is a section in the object
	file, or something like <<bfd_und_section_ptr>> for an undefined
	symbol or <<bfd_com_section_ptr>> for a common symbol.

	If the <<_bfd_final_link>> routine is also going to need to
	read the symbol information, the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>>
	routine should save it somewhere attached to the object file
	BFD.  However, the information should only be saved if the
	<<keep_memory>> field of the <<info>> argument is TRUE, so
	that the <<-no-keep-memory>> linker switch is effective.

	The a.out function which adds symbols from an object file is
	<<aout_link_add_object_symbols>>, and most of the interesting
	work is in <<aout_link_add_symbols>>.  The latter saves
	pointers to the hash tables entries created by
	<<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>> indexed by symbol number,
	so that the <<_bfd_final_link>> routine does not have to call
	the hash table lookup routine to locate the entry.

INODE
Adding symbols from an archive, , Adding symbols from an object file, Adding Symbols to the Hash Table
SUBSUBSECTION
	Adding symbols from an archive

	When the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine is passed an
	archive, it must look through the symbols defined by the
	archive and decide which elements of the archive should be
	included in the link.  For each such element it must call the
	<<add_archive_element>> linker callback, and it must add the
	symbols from the object file to the linker hash table.  (The
	callback may in fact indicate that a replacement BFD should be
	used, in which case the symbols from that BFD should be added
	to the linker hash table instead.)

@findex _bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols
	In most cases the work of looking through the symbols in the
	archive should be done by the
	<<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>> function.
	<<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>> is passed a function
	to call to make the final decision about adding an archive
	element to the link and to do the actual work of adding the
	symbols to the linker hash table.  If the element is to
	be included, the <<add_archive_element>> linker callback
	routine must be called with the element as an argument, and
	the element's symbols must be added to the linker hash table
	just as though the element had itself been passed to the
	<<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function.

	When the a.out <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function receives an
	archive, it calls <<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>>
	passing <<aout_link_check_archive_element>> as the function
	argument. <<aout_link_check_archive_element>> calls
	<<aout_link_check_ar_symbols>>.  If the latter decides to add
	the element (an element is only added if it provides a real,
	non-common, definition for a previously undefined or common
	symbol) it calls the <<add_archive_element>> callback and then
	<<aout_link_check_archive_element>> calls
	<<aout_link_add_symbols>> to actually add the symbols to the
	linker hash table - possibly those of a substitute BFD, if the
	<<add_archive_element>> callback avails itself of that option.

	The ECOFF back end is unusual in that it does not normally
	call <<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>>, because ECOFF
	archives already contain a hash table of symbols.  The ECOFF
	back end searches the archive itself to avoid the overhead of
	creating a new hash table.

@cindex _bfd_link_final_link in target vector
@cindex target vector (_bfd_final_link)
	When all the input files have been processed, the linker calls
	the <<_bfd_final_link>> entry point of the output BFD.  This
	routine is responsible for producing the final output file,
	which has several aspects.  It must relocate the contents of
	the input sections and copy the data into the output sections.
	It must build an output symbol table including any local
	symbols from the input files and the global symbols from the
	hash table.  When producing relocatable output, it must
	modify the input relocs and write them into the output file.
	There may also be object format dependent work to be done.

	The linker will also call the <<write_object_contents>> entry
	point when the BFD is closed.  The two entry points must work
	together in order to produce the correct output file.

	The details of how this works are inevitably dependent upon
	the specific object file format.  The a.out
	<<_bfd_final_link>> routine is <<NAME(aout,final_link)>>.

SUBSUBSECTION
	Information provided by the linker

	Before the linker calls the <<_bfd_final_link>> entry point,
	it sets up some data structures for the function to use.

	The <<input_bfds>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>> structure
	will point to a list of all the input files included in the
	link.  These files are linked through the <<link.next>> field
	of the <<bfd>> structure.

	Each section in the output file will have a list of
	<<link_order>> structures attached to the <<map_head.link_order>>
	field (the <<link_order>> structure is defined in
	<<bfdlink.h>>).  These structures describe how to create the
	contents of the output section in terms of the contents of
	various input sections, fill constants, and, eventually, other
	types of information.  They also describe relocs that must be
	created by the BFD backend, but do not correspond to any input
	file; this is used to support -Ur, which builds constructors
	while generating a relocatable object file.

INODE
Relocating the section contents, Writing the symbol table, Information provided by the linker, Performing the Final Link
SUBSUBSECTION
	Relocating the section contents

	The <<_bfd_final_link>> function should look through the
	<<link_order>> structures attached to each section of the
	output file.  Each <<link_order>> structure should either be
	handled specially, or it should be passed to the function
	<<_bfd_default_link_order>> which will do the right thing
	(<<_bfd_default_link_order>> is defined in <<linker.c>>).

	For efficiency, a <<link_order>> of type
	<<bfd_indirect_link_order>> whose associated section belongs
	to a BFD of the same format as the output BFD must be handled
	specially.  This type of <<link_order>> describes part of an
	output section in terms of a section belonging to one of the
	input files.  The <<_bfd_final_link>> function should read the
	contents of the section and any associated relocs, apply the
	relocs to the section contents, and write out the modified
	section contents.  If performing a relocatable link, the
	relocs themselves must also be modified and written out.

@findex _bfd_relocate_contents
@findex _bfd_final_link_relocate
	The functions <<_bfd_relocate_contents>> and
	<<_bfd_final_link_relocate>> provide some general support for
	performing the actual relocations, notably overflow checking.
	Their arguments include information about the symbol the
	relocation is against and a <<reloc_howto_type>> argument
	which describes the relocation to perform.  These functions
	are defined in <<reloc.c>>.

	The a.out function which handles reading, relocating, and
	writing section contents is <<aout_link_input_section>>.  The
	actual relocation is done in <<aout_link_input_section_std>>
	and <<aout_link_input_section_ext>>.

INODE
Writing the symbol table, , Relocating the section contents, Performing the Final Link
SUBSUBSECTION
	Writing the symbol table

	The <<_bfd_final_link>> function must gather all the symbols
	in the input files and write them out.  It must also write out
	all the symbols in the global hash table.  This must be
	controlled by the <<strip>> and <<discard>> fields of the
	<<bfd_link_info>> structure.

	The local symbols of the input files will not have been
	entered into the linker hash table.  The <<_bfd_final_link>>
	routine must consider each input file and include the symbols
	in the output file.  It may be convenient to do this when
	looking through the <<link_order>> structures, or it may be
	done by stepping through the <<input_bfds>> list.

	The <<_bfd_final_link>> routine must also traverse the global
	hash table to gather all the externally visible symbols.  It
	is possible that most of the externally visible symbols may be
	written out when considering the symbols of each input file,
	but it is still necessary to traverse the hash table since the
	linker script may have defined some symbols that are not in
	any of the input files.

	The <<strip>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>> structure
	controls which symbols are written out.  The possible values
	are listed in <<bfdlink.h>>.  If the value is <<strip_some>>,
	then the <<keep_hash>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>>
	structure is a hash table of symbols to keep; each symbol
	should be looked up in this hash table, and only symbols which
	are present should be included in the output file.

	If the <<strip>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>> structure
	permits local symbols to be written out, the <<discard>> field
	is used to further controls which local symbols are included
	in the output file.  If the value is <<discard_l>>, then all
	local symbols which begin with a certain prefix are discarded;
	this is controlled by the <<bfd_is_local_label_name>> entry point.

	The a.out backend handles symbols by calling
	<<aout_link_write_symbols>> on each input BFD and then
	traversing the global hash table with the function
	<<aout_link_write_other_symbol>>.  It builds a string table
	while writing out the symbols, which is written to the output
	file at the end of <<NAME(aout,final_link)>>.
