@node VTableEntry
@section @code{.vtable_entry @var{table}, @var{offset}}
These directives can be used to set the visibility of a specified symbol. By
default a symbol's visibility is set by its binding (local, global or weak),
but these directives can be used to override that.
@cindex @code{.vtable_entry}
This directive finds or creates a symbol @code{table} and creates a
@code{VTABLE_ENTRY} relocation for it with an addend of @code{offset}.
A visibility of @code{protected} means that any references to the symbol from
within the component that defines the symbol must be resolved to the definition
in that component, even if a definition in another component would normally
preempt this.
@node VTableInherit
@section @code{.vtable_inherit @var{child}, @var{parent}}
A visibility of @code{hidden} means that the symbol is not visible to other
components. Such a symbol is always considered to be protected as well.
@cindex @code{.vtable_inherit}
This directive finds the symbol @code{child} and finds or creates the symbol
@code{parent} and then creates a @code{VTABLE_INHERIT} relocation for the
parent whoes addend is the value of the child symbol. As a special case the
parent name of @code{0} is treated as refering the @code{*ABS*} section.
@end ifset
A visibility of @code{internal} is the same as a visibility of @code{hidden},
except that some extra, processor specific processing must also be performed
upon the symbol.
