29 DESCRIPTION
30 Each port of BFD to a different machine requries the creation
31 of a target back end. All the back end provides to the root
32 part of BFD is a structure containing pointers to functions
33 which perform certain low level operations on files. BFD
34 translates the applications's requests through a pointer into
35 calls to the back end routines.
36
37 When a file is opened with <<bfd_openr>>, its format and
38 target are unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine
39 how to interpret the file. The operations performed are:
40
41 o First a BFD is created by calling the internal routine
42 <<new_bfd>>, then <<bfd_find_target>> is called with the
43 target string supplied to <<bfd_openr>> and the new BFD pointer.
44
45 o If a null target string was provided to <<bfd_find_target>>,
46 it looks up the environment variable <<GNUTARGET>> and uses
47 that as the target string.
48
49 o If the target string is still NULL, or the target string is
50 <<default>>, then the first item in the target vector is used
51 as the target type, and <<target_defaulted>> is set to
52 cause <<bfd_check_format>> to loop through all the targets.
53 @xref{bfd_target}. @xref{Formats}.
54
55 o Otherwise, the elements in the target vector are inspected
56 one by one, until a match on target name is found. When found,
57 that is used.
58
59 o Otherwise the error <<invalid_target>> is returned to
60 <<bfd_openr>>.
61
62 o <<bfd_openr>> attempts to open the file using
63 <<bfd_open_file>>, and returns the BFD.
64
65 Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file
66 format may be determined. This is done by calling
67 <<bfd_check_format>> on the BFD with a suggested format.
68 If <<target_defaulted>> has been set, each possible target
69 type is tried to see if it recognizes the specified format. The
70 routine returns <<true>> when the application guesses right.

85 DESCRIPTION
86 This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a
87 target. It includes things like its byte order, name, what
88 routines to call to do various operations, etc.
89
90 Every BFD points to a target structure with its <<xvec>>
91 member.
92
93 Shortcut for declaring fields which are prototyped function
94 pointers, while avoiding anguish on compilers that don't
95 support protos.
96
97 .#define SDEF(ret, name, arglist) \
98 . PROTO(ret,(*name),arglist)
99 .#define SDEF_FMT(ret, name, arglist) \
100 . PROTO(ret,(*name[bfd_type_end]),arglist)
101
102 These macros are used to dispatch to functions through the
103 bfd_target vector. They are used in a number of macros further
104 down in @file{bfd.h}, and are also used when calling various
105 routines by hand inside the BFD implementation. The "arglist"
106 argument must be parenthesized; it contains all the arguments
107 to the called function.
108
109 They make the documentation (more) unpleasant to read, so if
110 someone wants to fix this and not break the above, please do.
111
112 .#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
113 . ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)
114
115 For operations which index on the BFD format
116
117 .#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
118 . (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int)((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
119
120 This is the struct which defines the type of BFD this is. The
121 <<xvec>> member of the struct <<bfd>> itself points here. Each
122 module that implements access to a different target under BFD,
123 defines one of these.
124
125
126 FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of
127 the entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one
128 macro to define them both!
