Hi, I would like to examine the implications you mention in more detail. (1) Symbol address According to the ELF standard, in a symbol table entry st_value means: "In relocatable files, st_value holds a section offset for a defined symbol. That is, st_value is an offset from the beginning of the section that st_shndx identifies." (*) Therefore, when queried about a symbol's address what would the right answer be? In ELFObjectFile::getS...

Thanks, Shankar. I needed to override all the places where st_value had been used, and it worked. But there another problem appeared: after correcting all atoms, I cannot distinguish between ARM and Thumb symbols in the further stages when fixing up relocations. I used to check targetVAddress (in terms of the relocation handler) since it contained 1 in the least...

Hi all, I'm using the MC framework for a project, and while updating to latest trunk (r148672) encountered the following issue: It seems that SymbolRef::getAddress and SymbolRef::getFileOffset have been changed to add the symbol's offset to the offset of the containing section? This has the following implications: To get the /actual/ fileoffset, I now need to do: Symbol.getFileOffset()

...; "globals are points" invariant is nice, but making LLVM IR more accurately > model object file formats is also good. I would say that requiring a pointer type, specially when there is only one pointer type in the future, is closer to what the object format is. In ELF you will get an st_value regardless of it being absolute of a position in the file. It doesn't really make sense to have a type that is not at least pointer sized. Cheers, Rafael

I don't think individual symbols have an alignment in ELF (except COMMON ones, which repurpose the st_value field -- not the case here). If the 1, 3, 4 are coming from the last column of the dumps you produced below, they're referring to the section the symbol is relative to (st_shndx in the documentation). Cheers. Tim.

...of STT_FILE. The goal is not just to pass through ELF-isms. The goal is to define a really good model and translate each object format into that model. A web search for STT_FILE gives: > In this case for it may be an ELF'ism, when st_info == STB_LOCAL | STT_FILE st_shndx == SHN_ABS Then st_value will probably be zero and this symbol's name should match the name of the originating source file. Currently there is only one qualifying characteristic a symbol must have in order to be converted into an absolute atom, st_shndx == SHN_ABS. The problem is that symbols with this attribute ca...

The code is only valid for executable files, not relocatable files. st_shndx should be used to determine if the symbol is in the given section. Also st_value can hold the offset into st_shndx, not the actual address. Also it doesn't handle non-function symbols. For the second patch. Could you explain what exactly you are trying to fix? I see some stuff that I know is wrong, but it would help if I knew the intent. As for what I do know. * The error...

Hi, I am new to llvm, not familiar with c++, after some use with llvm-objdump, and finding the broken output, I try to debug and fix the code so it can become usable. Please help review the patch, so that they can be merged. And there's still two major problem I have found about arm disassembler: 1. arm instruction decoder cannot recognise bx series instructions. 2. As gcc will
