SECTION
Sections
Sections are supported in BFD in <<section.c>>.
The raw data contained within a BFD is maintained through the
section abstraction. A single BFD may have any number of
sections, and keeps hold of them by pointing to the first,
each one points to the next in the list.

SUBSECTION
Section Input
When a BFD is opened for reading, the section structures are
created and attached to the BFD.
Each section has a name which describes the section in the
outside world - for example, <<a.out>> would contain at least
three sections, called <<.text>>, <<.data>> and <<.bss>>.
Sometimes a BFD will contain more than the 'natural' number of
sections. A back end may attach other sections containing
constructor data, or an application may add a section (using
bfd_make_section) to the sections attached to an already open
BFD. For example, the linker creates a supernumary section
<<COMMON>> for each input file's BFD to hold information about
common storage.
The raw data is not necessarily read in at the same time as
the section descriptor is created. Some targets may leave the
data in place until a <<bfd_get_section_contents>> call is
made. Other back ends may read in all the data at once - For
example; an S-record file has to be read once to determine the
size of the data. An IEEE-695 file doesn't contain raw data in
sections, but data and relocation expressions intermixed, so
the data area has to be parsed to get out the data and
relocations.
@node Section Output, typedef asection, Section Input, Sections
SUBSECTION
Section Output
To write a new object style BFD, the various sections to be
written have to be created. They are attached to the BFD in
the same way as input sections, data is written to the
sections using <<bfd_set_section_contents>>.
The linker uses the fields <<output_section>> and
<<output_offset>> to create an output file.
The data to be written comes from input sections attached to
the output sections. The output section structure can be
considered a filter for the input section, the output section
determines the vma of the output data and the name, but the
input section determines the offset into the output section of
the data to be written.
Eg to create a section "O", starting at 0x100, 0x123 long,
containing two subsections, "A" at offset 0x0 (ie at vma
0x100) and "B" at offset 0x20 (ie at vma 0x120) the structures
would look like:
| section name "A"
| output_offset 0x00
| size 0x20
| output_section -----------> section name "O"
| | vma 0x100
| section name "B" | size 0x123
| output_offset 0x20 |
| size 0x103 |
| output_section --------|
SUBSECTION
Seglets
The data within a section is stored in a <<seglet>>. These
are much like the fixups in <<gas>>. The seglet abstraction
allows the a section to grow and shrink within itself.
A seglet knows how big it is, and which is the next seglet and
where the raw data for it is, and also points to a list of
relocations which apply to it.
The seglet is used by the linker to perform relaxing on final
code. The application creates code which is as big as
necessary to make it work without relaxing, and the user can
select whether to relax. Sometimes relaxing takes a lot of
time. The linker runs around the relocations to see if any
are attached to data which can be shrunk, if so it does it on
a seglet by seglet basis.
