| 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.
