...atoms which represent the magic symbols for the start and end of a section. The key here is that the Pass (not written yet) which sorts atoms, knows to sort these atoms to the start or end of their respective sections. If you don't want this full general, lazy approach, you could have your WriteELF::addFiles() return a regular object file that has atoms named __bss_start and __bss_end, but they are marked mergeAsWeak so that any user defined atoms will override them. -Nick

Hi Nick, We have few symbols like __bss_start, __bss_end, which are Undefined symbols in the code. I want a way in the Reader to create specific atoms before the linker bootstraps. I didnt find a way to do that with the existing interfaces. The way it needs to work is as below :- 1) ReaderELF creates Absolute symbols (for __bss_start, __bss_end etc) 2) ReaderELF reads each file and adds

The case I have is a bit different now. I added symbols __bss_start/__bss_end/_end using WriterELF::addFiles(). The symbols ge...
