| 1 | Things that still need to be done: -*- Text -*- |

| 3 | o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent code | 
|---|
| 4 | is in a single bfd_target structure.  Hence all the code for | 
|---|
| 5 | *writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications | 
|---|
| 6 | that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas has | 
|---|
| 7 | to carry along all the unneeded baggage for reading objects.  And | 
|---|
| 8 | so on.  This would be a substantial change, and the payoff would | 
|---|
| 9 | not all that great (essentially none if bfd is used as a shared | 
|---|
| 10 | library). | 
|---|
| 11 |  | 
|---|
| 12 | o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly | 
|---|
| 13 | needed.  This may be difficult to do much about. | 
|---|
| 14 |  | 
|---|
| 15 | o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the | 
|---|
| 16 | filesystem. | 
|---|
| 17 |  | 
|---|
| 18 | o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out | 
|---|
| 19 | the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks. | 
|---|
| 20 |  | 
|---|
| 21 | o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion. |
