23 SECTION
24 Sections
25
26 The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
27 section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of
28 sections. It keeps hold of them by pointing to the first;
29 each one points to the next in the list.
30
31 Sections are supported in BFD in <<section.c>>.

44
45 When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are
46 created and attached to the BFD.
47
48 Each section has a name which describes the section in the
49 outside world---for example, <<a.out>> would contain at least
50 three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.
51
52 Names need not be unique; for example a COFF file may have several
53 sections named <<.data>>.
54
55 Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the ``natural'' number of
56 sections. A back end may attach other sections containing
57 constructor data, or an application may add a section (using
58 <<bfd_make_section>>) to the sections attached to an already open
59 BFD. For example, the linker creates an extra section
60 <<COMMON>> for each input file's BFD to hold information about
61 common storage.
62
63 The raw data is not necessarily read in when
64 the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the
65 data in place until a <<bfd_get_section_contents>> call is
66 made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once. For
67 example, an S-record file has to be read once to determine the
68 size of the data. An IEEE-695 file doesn't contain raw data in
69 sections, but data and relocation expressions intermixed, so
70 the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and
71 relocations.

77 Section output
78
79 To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be
80 written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in
81 the same way as input sections; data is written to the
82 sections using <<bfd_set_section_contents>>.
83
84 Any program that creates or combines sections (e.g., the assembler
85 and linker) must use the <<asection>> fields <<output_section>> and
86 <<output_offset>> to indicate the file sections to which each
87 section must be written. (If the section is being created from
88 scratch, <<output_section>> should probably point to the section
89 itself and <<output_offset>> should probably be zero.)
90
91 The data to be written comes from input sections attached
92 (via <<output_section>> pointers) to
93 the output sections. The output section structure can be
94 considered a filter for the input section: the output section
95 determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
96 input section determines the offset into the output section of
97 the data to be written.
98
99 E.g., to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
100 containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (i.e., at vma
101 0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (i.e., at vma 0x120) the <<asection>>
102 structures would look like:
103
104 | section name "A"
105 | output_offset 0x00
106 | size 0x20
107 | output_section -----------> section name "O"
108 | | vma 0x100
109 | section name "B" | size 0x123
110 | output_offset 0x20 |
111 | size 0x103 |
112 | output_section --------|
113
114
115 SUBSECTION
116 Link orders
117
118 The data within a section is stored in a @dfn{link_order}.
119 These are much like the fixups in <<gas>>. The link_order
120 abstraction allows a section to grow and shrink within itself.
121
122 A link_order knows how big it is, and which is the next
123 link_order and where the raw data for it is; it also points to
124 a list of relocations which apply to it.
125
126 The link_order is used by the linker to perform relaxing on
127 final code. The compiler creates code which is as big as
128 necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can
129 select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of
130 time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any
131 are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
132 a link_order by link_order basis.
