29 Each port of BFD to a different machine requries the creation of a
30 target back end. All the back end provides to the root part of BFD is
31 a structure containing pointers to functions which perform certain low
32 level operations on files. BFD translates the applications's requests
33 through a pointer into calls to the back end routines.
35 When a file is opened with @code{bfd_openr}, its format and target are
36 unknown. BFD uses various mechanisms to determine how to interpret the
37 file. The operations performed are:
40 First a BFD is created by calling the internal routine
41 @code{new_bfd}, then @code{bfd_find_target} is called with the target
42 string supplied to @code{bfd_openr} and the new BFD pointer.
44 If a null target string was provided to
45 @code{bfd_find_target}, it looks up the environment variable
46 @code{GNUTARGET} and uses that as the target string.
48 If the target string is still NULL, or the target string
49 is @code{default}, then the first item in the target vector is used as
50 the target type. @xref{bfd_target}.
52 Otherwise, the elements in the target vector are
53 inspected one by one, until a match on target name is found. When
56 Otherwise the error @code{invalid_target} is returned to
59 @code{bfd_openr} attempts to open the file using
60 @code{bfd_open_file}, and returns the BFD.
62 Once the BFD has been opened and the target selected, the file format
63 may be determined. This is done by calling @code{bfd_check_format} on
64 the BFD with a suggested format. The routine returns @code{true} when
65 the application guesses right.
74 @node bfd_target, , Targets, Targets
75 @subsection bfd_target
76 This structure contains everything that BFD knows about a target.
77 It includes things like its byte order, name, what routines to call
78 to do various operations, etc.
80 Every BFD points to a target structure with its "xvec" member.
83 Shortcut for declaring fields which are prototyped function pointers,
84 while avoiding anguish on compilers that don't support protos.
86 $#define SDEF(ret, name, arglist) \
87 $ PROTO(ret,(*name),arglist)
88 $#define SDEF_FMT(ret, name, arglist) \
89 $ PROTO(ret,(*name[bfd_type_end]),arglist)
91 These macros are used to dispatch to functions through the bfd_target
92 vector. They are used in a number of macros further down in @file{bfd.h}, and
93 are also used when calling various routines by hand inside the BFD
94 implementation. The "arglist" argument must be parenthesized; it
95 contains all the arguments to the called function.
97 $#define BFD_SEND(bfd, message, arglist) \
98 $ ((*((bfd)->xvec->message)) arglist)
100 For operations which index on the BFD format
102 $#define BFD_SEND_FMT(bfd, message, arglist) \
103 $ (((bfd)->xvec->message[(int)((bfd)->format)]) arglist)
105 This is the struct which defines the type of BFD this is. The
106 "xvec" member of the struct @code{bfd} itself points here. Each module
107 that implements access to a different target under BFD, defines
110 FIXME, these names should be rationalised with the names of the
111 entry points which call them. Too bad we can't have one macro to
116 $typedef struct bfd_target
