The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently. The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit breaks building of bfp opcodes files.

Things that still need to be done: -*- Text -*-
|
||
|
||
o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent code
|
||
is in a single bfd_target structure. Hence all the code for
|
||
*writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications
|
||
that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas has
|
||
to carry along all the unneeded baggage for reading objects. And
|
||
so on. This would be a substantial change, and the payoff would
|
||
not all that great (essentially none if bfd is used as a shared
|
||
library).
|
||
|
||
o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly
|
||
needed. This may be difficult to do much about.
|
||
|
||
o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the
|
||
filesystem.
|
||
|
||
o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out
|
||
the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks.
|
||
|
||
o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion.
