2014-09-01rld: Split the file into a path module for path specific functions.Chris Johns
This allows resued for other parts of the system not dependent on objcet files or archives.

2012-12-29Fix managing weak symbols.Chris Johns
Weak symbols where not being managed correctly. The symbols table is now a class with externals and weaks as separate symtabs so the externals can be searched first then the weaks and if not found an unresolved error is raised. This was found creating a libbsdport RAP file where the drivers in the all driver table resolved to the weak symbols and so linking in nothing. Fixing the weak symbols as found in the libbsdport library triggered a new resolver bug. The object files now contain the resolver state and this is used to determine if an object file has been resolved or is currently being resolved avoiding rescursive loops with dependent object files. The resolver trace output is a little easier to read.
2012-12-18 Add object::get_section.Chris Johns
Add a method to return a section given the ELF section index. Add more trace output for debugging.
2012-12-15Debug trace changes.Chris Johns
2012-12-12Relocation fixes.Chris Johns
These changes implement a suitable relocation output in the image. The code is still not working 100% but these changes are a big improvement.
2012-12-08Add support to demand load relocation records.Chris Johns
Support has been added to load relocation record on demand. The relocation records are not read when the object file is first opened and read. They are read only when being written to the output file. This save loading lots of records into memory from libraries to be thrown away. The RAP format now supports writing out relocation records.
2012-11-29Add the index to the section.Chris Johns
The index is referenced in the symbol and relocation records of ELF files therefore we need to search for them.
2012-11-26No archive begin/end on symbols load, image initialise fix, add sections.Chris Johns
Remove archive_begin/archive_end calls when loading symbols. The symbols reference object files and they may reference archive and so the archives need to be open and available. The archive begin/end must be handled at a higher level in the program. Fixed image initialisation where some constructors did not initialise all class variables. Add section support to the rld::files namespace. This allows section information to be added to an object file without the ELF file needing to available therefore removing the need for object file remaining open all the time. These sections are a copy of the information and can be copied and moved as needed. This is used to make layouts.
2012-11-21Make getting objects const.Chris Johns
2012-11-21Fix archive GNU extension and make image read/write follow POSIX.Chris Johns
Fix the finding of a file name in the GNU extension for long names in GNU archives so the correct location is referenced. Made the image read and write routines keep reading if not all the requested data is read or written due to possible signals.
2012-11-20Add support to write a metadata ELF file.Chris Johns
This also adds support to the ELF classes that wrap libelf. While this is now done and seems to work I will not be using an ELF file to hold the metadata after all.
2012-11-19Add set_header support to the ELF files.Chris Johns
2012-11-18Better handling of archive open/close and begin/end.Chris Johns
2012-11-17Refactor the ELF support to allow ELF write suppport.Chris Johns
The refactoring allows better reuse of the ELF support and cleans up some hacks from the generic file and archive handling improving the separation of the file handling from the file format, ie ELF. The handling of ELF object files and ELF object files inside archives is cleaner. The refactor cleaned up the symbol handling where the symbols now reside in the ELF file object and references are take in symbol pointer containers and symbol table containers. The main purpose of the refactor is to allow support for creating and writing ELF files. Also added an rtems-syms command where special symbol support can be added.
