similar to: A Question about "Dynamic linker/loader for modules"

Hello, I'm a student interested in the syslinux project of Gsoc. And Isincerely hope to have the opportunity to apply the "Dynamic linker/loader for modules" project. But it seems the #syslinux channel is not so active and I can't contact a mentor about that. Could anybody help me? Thank you!

Hi there, Is there any updated document on COM32 format? http://www.syslinux.org/doc/comboot.txt Is there any updated memory map? http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Memory_Map_(General) is there any updated info on Dynamic Module Loading Using the ELF Format? http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/GSoC2008_Stefan Thanks, Best, Patrick

Greetings everyone, As my work on SYSLINUX as a Google Summer of Code student is approaching the deadline (only one week left), I would like to publicly announce the availability of a ready-to-test preview of SYSLINUX dynamic module loading support. Currently, SYSLINUX offers support for only loading one module at a time, represented in the COM32 format. This means that whenever another

It seems that the com32 module is a raw binary file without any control infomation. To factor it into suitable for dynamic linking, we need add some control sections, but can we still tell that file a com32 file ? why we use the elf file format directly? Thank you -- Ziyu Yu

Ive seen the GSOC 2008 mod for allowing dynamic loading of ELF modules and it fits exactly what we need. 1) It mentions it will be part of syslinux 4. Is there an estimated release for syslinux 4? 2) The docs are amazingly sparse. Aside from one partial usage note, there appear to be no text files, man pages, html.. nothing. Only thing I could find was looking in source at the print_help

Hello, I just received a serious bug report from Stas Kysel of rPath (with a great test case); it appears that deleted files can confuse extlinux so that it misses files. This is bad. As a result, I have pushed out 3.63-pre3, and intend to make a 3.63 final shortly. I would appreciate any help testing this. Furthermore, I would like to finish the SDI booting module, but I have yet to

What?s the status of the Google Summer of Code?COM32 module implementation of GFXBoot?project? From what has been communicated to me, things have not gone as planned, and it?s currently in limbo.

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> GCC 4.7 now places pointers to functions with the 'constructor' and 'destructor' function attributes in .init_array and .fini_array sections, respectively, whereas previously they were in the .ctors and .dtors sections. This change breaks the ctors/dtors code as it only expects function to be in the .ctors and .dtors sections,

Hi list, I ran a syslinux drive on a QEMU machine with a gdbstub opened. I tried the simplest modules: the hello.c in com32/samples/ directory, which is compiled into hello.c32 in bios/com32/samples/. I already compiled the module with debug info attached via -g option added to CFLAGS in the Makefile. However, the problem is that the generated module is a shared dynamic module, which only

Hi, I'm working on a com32 module in which I need to get some file size. The only way I found was to include the "lib/sys/file.h" header file and get the i.length field from the file_info structure (once a file descriptor is open). I understand that this structure is internal to the Com32 file I/O implementation and should not be accessed from com32 modules. So is there a

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This series includes a patch (PATCH 1/6) that I sent previously but I thought it was worth sending it again since the rest of the series depends on it, and it also gives a bit of context. These cleanups make it simpler to do the big switchover to ELF modules on the elflink branch because the libraries in $LIBS are now contained in one

Hi, This series targets automatic boot menu generation, but most of it is the Lua upgrade, because I got tired reading deprecated API docs. It's mostly a straightforward forward port of the earlier Syslinux specific changes to Lua 5.1, except that: * I chose the add a stub getenv() implementation to the COM32 API instead of #ifdefing out all the references in Lua, and * I kept oslib
