1Things that still need to be done: -*- Text -*-
2
3 o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent code
4     is in a single bfd_target structure.  Hence all the code for
5     *writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications
6     that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas has
7     to carry along all the unneeded baggage for reading objects.  And
8     so on.  This would be a substantial change, and the payoff would
9     not all that great (essentially none if bfd is used as a shared
10     library).
11
12 o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly
13     needed.  This may be difficult to do much about.
14
15 o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the
16     filesystem.
17
18 o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out
19     the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks.
20
21 o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion.
