From 11548211825849412a1a924a5fa10c426bc9be00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Lance Taylor Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 03:14:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] * objdump.c (dump_reloc_set): Add sec parameter.

Also added binary output format to BFD to permit + generating plain binary files. + +* Added --start-address and --stop-address options to objdump. + +* ar and ranlib now work on AIX.

It can convert object files into + Novell NetWare Loadable Modules. + +* The strings program has been added. + +Changes since binutils 2.1 + +* The 'copy' program has been renamed to 'objcopy', for consistency with + 'objdump', and because 'copy' might more plausibly be used as a synonym for + 'cp'. + +* The new stand-alone program c++filt is a filter that converts encoded + (mangled) C++ assembly-level identifiers to user-level names. (Note: This + may get moved to the gcc distribution.) + +* nm -o on an archive now prefixes each line with the archive name, matching + the output from BSD nm. + +* ar (and ld) can now read (but not write) BSD4.4-style archives. + +* New support for H8500, Z8000, and the Hitach SH. + +* Dis-assembler interface changed to allow sharing with gdb. + +* There is new Elf code, but it is not yet ready for general use. + +* There is the beginnings of a test suite. + +Changes since binutils 2.0 + +* There is now support for writing ECOFF files, so ld and the other utilities + should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix.

So running ranlib is + now redundant (unless the non-standard q command is used). This is required + for Posix.2 conformance. + +* The archive-reading code now reads both BSD-style and SYSV-style archives + independently of the selected target format.
