X-Git-Tag: develop-gem5-snapshot~12
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3064018c763df7a58eba9cf4c2459083d21cc7a4;p=gem5.git

base: Add byte order attribute for object files

This adds byte order as an attribute for object files by
introducing new members to the ObjectFile class. This is
populated by the looking at the ELF headers.
