@cindex Linker
        The linker uses three special entry points in the BFD target
        vector.  It is not necessary to write special routines for
        these entry points when creating a new BFD back end, since
        generic versions are provided.  However, writing them can
        speed up linking and make it use significantly less runtime
        memory.

        The first routine creates a hash table used by the other
        routines.  The second routine adds the symbols from an object
        file to the hash table.  The third routine takes all the
        object files and links them together to create the output
        file.  These routines are designed so that the linker proper
        does not need to know anything about the symbols in the object
        files that it is linking.  The linker merely arranges the
        sections as directed by the linker script and lets BFD handle
        the details of symbols and relocs.

        The second routine and third routines are passed a pointer to
        a <<struct bfd_link_info>> structure (defined in
        <<bfdlink.h>>) which holds information relevant to the link,
        including the linker hash table (which was created by the
        first routine) and a set of callback functions to the linker
        proper.

        The generic linker routines are in <<linker.c>>, and use the
        header file <<genlink.h>>.  As of this writing, the only back
        ends which have implemented versions of these routines are
        a.out (in <<aoutx.h>>) and ECOFF (in <<ecoff.c>>).  The a.out
        routines are used as examples throughout this section.

        Creating a linker hash table

@cindex _bfd_link_hash_table_create in target vector
@cindex target vector (_bfd_link_hash_table_create)
        The linker routines must create a hash table, which must be
        derived from <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>> described in
        <<bfdlink.c>>.  @xref{Hash Tables} for information on how to
        create a derived hash table.  This entry point is called using
        the target vector of the linker output file.

        The <<_bfd_link_hash_table_create>> entry point must allocate
        and initialize an instance of the desired hash table.  If the
        back end does not require any additional information to be
        stored with the entries in the hash table, the entry point may
        simply create a <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>>.  Most likely,
        however, some additional information will be needed.

        For example, with each entry in the hash table the a.out
        linker keeps the index the symbol has in the final output file
        (this index number is used so that when doing a relocateable
        link the symbol index used in the output file can be quickly
        filled in when copying over a reloc).  The a.out linker code
        defines the required structures and functions for a hash table
        derived from <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>>.  The a.out linker
        hash table is created by the function
        <<NAME(aout,link_hash_table_create)>>; it simply allocates
        space for the hash table, initializes it, and returns a
        pointer to it.

        When writing the linker routines for a new back end, you will
        generally not know exactly which fields will be required until
        you have finished.  You should simply create a new hash table
        which defines no additional fields, and then simply add fields
        as they become necessary.

@cindex _bfd_link_add_symbols in target vector
@cindex target vector (_bfd_link_add_symbols)
        The linker proper will call the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>>
        entry point for each object file or archive which is to be
        linked (typically these are the files named on the command
        line, but some may also come from the linker script).  The
        entry point is responsible for examining the file.  For an
        object file, BFD must add any relevant symbol information to
        the hash table.  For an archive, BFD must determine which
        elements of the archive should be used and adding them to the
        link.

        The a.out version of this entry point is
        <<NAME(aout,link_add_symbols)>>.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Differing file formats

        Normally all the files involved in a link will be of the same
        format, but it is also possible to link together different
        format object files, and the back end must support that.  The
        <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> entry point is called via the target
        vector of the file to be added.  This has an important
        consequence: the function may not assume that the hash table
        is the type created by the corresponding
        <<_bfd_link_hash_table_create>> vector.  All the
        <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function can assume about the hash
        table is that it is derived from <<struct
        bfd_link_hash_table>>.

        Sometimes the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function must store
        some information in the hash table entry to be used by the
        <<_bfd_final_link>> function.  In such a case the <<creator>>
        field of the hash table must be checked to make sure that the
        hash table was created by an object file of the same format.

        The <<_bfd_final_link>> routine must be prepared to handle a
        hash entry without any extra information added by the
        <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function.  A hash entry without
        extra information will also occur when the linker script
        directs the linker to create a symbol.  Note that, regardless
        of how a hash table entry is added, all the fields will be
        initialized to some sort of null value by the hash table entry
        initialization function.

        See <<ecoff_link_add_externals>> for an example of how to
        check the <<creator>> field before saving information (in this
        case, the ECOFF external symbol debugging information) in a
        hash table entry.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Adding symbols from an object file

        When the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine is passed an object
        file, it must add all externally visible symbols in that
        object file to the hash table.  The actual work of adding the
        symbol to the hash table is normally handled by the function
        <<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>>.  The
        <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine is responsible for reading
        all the symbols from the object file and passing the correct
        information to <<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>>.

        The <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine should not use
        <<bfd_canonicalize_symtab>> to read the symbols.  The point of
        providing this routine is to avoid the overhead of converting
        the symbols into generic <<asymbol>> structures.

@findex _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol
        <<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>> handles the details of
        combining common symbols, warning about multiple definitions,
        and so forth.  It takes arguments which describe the symbol to
        add, notably symbol flags, a section, and an offset.  The
        symbol flags include such things as <<BSF_WEAK>> or
        <<BSF_INDIRECT>>.  The section is a section in the object
        file, or something like <<bfd_und_section>> for an undefined
        symbol or <<bfd_com_section>> for a common symbol.

        If the <<_bfd_final_link>> routine is also going to need to
        read the symbol information, the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>>
        routine should save it somewhere attached to the object file
        BFD.  However, the information should only be saved if the
        <<keep_memory>> field of the <<info>> argument is true, so
        that the <<-no-keep-memory>> linker switch is effective.

        The a.out function which adds symbols from an object file is
        <<aout_link_add_object_symbols>>, and most of the interesting
        work is in <<aout_link_add_symbols>>.  The latter saves
        pointers to the hash tables entries created by
        <<_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol>> indexed by symbol number,
        so that the <<_bfd_final_link>> routine does not have to call
        the hash table lookup routine to locate the entry.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Adding symbols from an archive

        When the <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> routine is passed an
        archive, it must look through the symbols defined by the
        archive and decide which elements of the archive should be
        included in the link.  For each such element it must call the
        <<add_archive_element>> linker callback, and it must add the
        symbols from the object file to the linker hash table.

@findex _bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols
        In most cases the work of looking through the symbols in the
        archive should be done by the
        <<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>> function.  This
        function builds a hash table from the archive symbol table and
        looks through the list of undefined symbols to see which
        elements should be included.
        <<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>> is passed a function
        to call to make the final decision about adding an archive
        element to the link and to do the actual work of adding the
        symbols to the linker hash table.

        The function passed to
        <<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>> must read the
        symbols of the archive element and decide whether the archive
        element should be included in the link.  If the element is to
        be included, the <<add_archive_element>> linker callback
        routine must be called with the element as an argument, and
        the elements symbols must be added to the linker hash table
        just as though the element had itself been passed to the
        <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function.

        When the a.out <<_bfd_link_add_symbols>> function receives an
        archive, it calls <<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>>
        passing <<aout_link_check_archive_element>> as the function
        argument. <<aout_link_check_archive_element>> calls
        <<aout_link_check_ar_symbols>>.  If the latter decides to add
        the element (an element is only added if it provides a real,
        non-common, definition for a previously undefined or common
        symbol) it calls the <<add_archive_element>> callback and then
        <<aout_link_check_archive_element>> calls
        <<aout_link_add_symbols>> to actually add the symbols to the
        linker hash table.

        The ECOFF back end is unusual in that it does not normally
        call <<_bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols>>, because ECOFF
        archives already contain a hash table of symbols.  The ECOFF
        back end searches the archive itself to avoid the overhead of
        creating a new hash table.

        When all the input files have been processed, the linker calls
        the <<_bfd_final_link>> entry point of the output BFD.  This
        routine is responsible for producing the final output file,
        which has several aspects.  It must relocate the contents of
        the input sections and copy the data into the output sections.
        It must build an output symbol table including any local
        symbols from the input files and the global symbols from the
        hash table.  When producing relocateable output, it must
        modify the input relocs and write them into the output file.
        There may also be object format dependent work to be done.

        The linker will also call the <<write_object_contents>> entry
        point when the BFD is closed.  The two entry points must work
        together in order to produce the correct output file.

        The details of how this works are inevitably dependent upon
        the specific object file format.  The a.out
        <<_bfd_final_link>> routine is <<NAME(aout,final_link)>>.

        Information provided by the linker

        Before the linker calls the <<_bfd_final_link>> entry point,
        it sets up some data structures for the function to use.

        The <<input_bfds>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>> structure
        will point to a list of all the input files included in the
        link.  These files are linked through the <<link_next>> field
        of the <<bfd>> structure.

        Each section in the output file will have a list of
        <<link_order>> structures attached to the <<link_order_head>>
        field (the <<link_order>> structure is defined in
        <<bfdlink.h>>).  These structures describe how to create the
        contents of the output section in terms of the contents of
        various input sections, fill constants, and, eventually, other
        types of information.

INODE
Relocating the section contents, Writing the symbol table, Information provided by the linker, Performing the Final Link
SUBSUBSECTION
        Relocating the section contents

        The <<_bfd_final_link>> function should look through the
        <<link_order>> structures attached to each section of the
        output file.  Each <<link_order>> structure should either be
        handled specially, or it should be passed to the function
        <<_bfd_default_link_order>> which will do the right thing
        (<<_bfd_default_link_order>> is defined in <<linker.c>>).

        For efficiency, a <<link_order>> of type
        <<bfd_indirect_link_order>> whose associated section belongs
        to a BFD of the same format as the output BFD must be handled
        specially.  This type of <<link_order>> describes part of an
        output section in terms of a section belonging to one of the
        input files.  The <<_bfd_final_link>> function should read the
        contents of the section and any associated relocs, apply the
        relocs to the section contents, and write out the modified
        section contents.  If performing a relocateable link, the
        relocs themselves must also be modified and written out.

@findex _bfd_relocate_contents
@findex _bfd_final_link_relocate
        The functions <<_bfd_relocate_contents>> and
        <<_bfd_final_link_relocate>> provide some general support for
        performing the actual relocations, notably overflow checking.
        Their arguments include information about the symbol the
        relocation is against and a <<reloc_howto_type>> argument
        which describes the relocation to perform.  These functions
        are defined in <<reloc.c>>.

        The a.out function which handles reading, relocating, and
        writing section contents is <<aout_link_input_section>>.  The
        actual relocation is done in <<aout_link_input_section_std>>
        and <<aout_link_input_section_ext>>.

SUBSUBSECTION
        Writing the symbol table

        The <<_bfd_final_link>> function must gather all the symbols
        in the input files and write them out.  It must also write out
        all the symbols in the global hash table.  This must be
        controlled by the <<strip>> and <<discard>> fields of the
        <<bfd_link_info>> structure.

        The local symbols of the input files will not have been
        entered into the linker hash table.  The <<_bfd_final_link>>
        routine must consider each input file and include the symbols
        in the output file.  It may be convenient to do this when
        looking through the <<link_order>> structures, or it may be
        done by stepping through the <<input_bfds>> list.

        The <<_bfd_final_link>> routine must also traverse the global
        hash table to gather all the externally visible symbols.  It
        is possible that most of the externally visible symbols may be
        written out when considering the symbols of each input file,
        but it is still necessary to traverse the hash table since the
        linker script may have defined some symbols that are not in
        any of the input files.  The <<written>> field in the
        <<bfd_link_hash_entry>> structure may be used to determine
        which entries in the hash table have not already been written
        out.

        The <<strip>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>> structure
        controls which symbols are written out.  The possible values
        are listed in <<bfdlink.h>>.  If the value is <<strip_some>>,
        then the <<keep_hash>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>>
        structure is a hash table of symbols to keep; each symbol
        should be looked up in this hash table, and only symbols which
        are present should be included in the output file.

        If the <<strip>> field of the <<bfd_link_info>> structure
        permits local symbols to be written out, the <<discard>> field
        is used to further controls which local symbols are included
        in the output file.  If the value is <<discard_l>>, then all
        local symbols which begin with a certain prefix are discarded;
        this prefix is described by the <<lprefix>> and
        <<lprefix_len>> fields of the <<bfd_link_info>> structure.

        The a.out backend handles symbols by calling
        <<aout_link_write_symbols>> on each input BFD and then
        traversing the global hash table with the function
        <<aout_link_write_other_symbol>>.  It builds a string table
        while writing out the symbols, which is written to the output
        file at the end of <<NAME(aout,final_link)>>.

/* Generic function to add symbols from an archive file to the global
   hash file.  This function presumes that the archive symbol table
   has already been read in (this is normally done by the
   bfd_check_format entry point).  It looks through the undefined and
   common symbols and searches the archive symbol table for them.  If
   it finds an entry, it includes the associated object file in the
   link.

   The old linker looked through the archive symbol table for
   undefined symbols.  We do it the other way around, looking through
   undefined symbols for symbols defined in the archive.  The
   advantage of the newer scheme is that we only have to look through
   the list of undefined symbols once, whereas the old method had to
   re-search the symbol table each time a new object file was added.

   The CHECKFN argument is used to see if an object file should be
   included.  CHECKFN should set *PNEEDED to true if the object file
   should be included, and must also call the bfd_link_info
   add_archive_element callback function and handle adding the symbols
   to the global hash table.  CHECKFN should only return false if some
   sort of error occurs.

   For some formats, such as a.out, it is possible to look through an
   object file but not actually include it in the link.  The
   archive_pass field in a BFD is used to avoid checking the symbols
   of an object files too many times.  When an object is included in
   the link, archive_pass is set to -1.  If an object is scanned but
   not included, archive_pass is set to the pass number.  The pass
   number is incremented each time a new object file is included.  The
   pass number is used because when a new object file is included it
   may create new undefined symbols which cause a previously examined
   object file to be included.  */
