SECTION
        Symbols

        BFD tries to maintain as much symbol information as it can when
        it moves information from file to file. BFD passes information
        to applications though the <<asymbol>> structure. When the
        application requests the symbol table, BFD reads the table in
        the native form and translates parts of it into the internal
        format. To maintain more than the information passed to
        applications, some targets keep some information ``behind the
        scenes'' in a structure only the particular back end knows
        about. For example, the coff back end keeps the original
        symbol table structure as well as the canonical structure when
        a BFD is read in. On output, the coff back end can reconstruct
        the output symbol table so that no information is lost, even
        information unique to coff which BFD doesn't know or
        understand. If a coff symbol table were read, but were written
        through an a.out back end, all the coff specific information
        would be lost. The symbol table of a BFD
        is not necessarily read in until a canonicalize request is
        made. Then the BFD back end fills in a table provided by the
        application with pointers to the canonical information.  To
        output symbols, the application provides BFD with a table of
        pointers to pointers to <<asymbol>>s. This allows applications
        like the linker to output a symbol as it was read, since the ``behind
        the scenes'' information will be still available.

SUBSECTION
        Reading symbols

        There are two stages to reading a symbol table from a BFD:
        allocating storage, and the actual reading process. This is an
        excerpt from an application which reads the symbol table:

|         long storage_needed;
|         asymbol **symbol_table;
|         long number_of_symbols;
|         long i;
|
|         storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound (abfd);
|
|         if (storage_needed < 0)
|           FAIL
|
|         if (storage_needed == 0) {
|            return ;
|         }
|         symbol_table = (asymbol **) xmalloc (storage_needed);
|           ...
|         number_of_symbols =
|            bfd_canonicalize_symtab (abfd, symbol_table);
|
|         if (number_of_symbols < 0)
|           FAIL
|
|         for (i = 0; i < number_of_symbols; i++) {
|            process_symbol (symbol_table[i]);
|         }

        All storage for the symbols themselves is in an objalloc
        connected to the BFD; it is freed when the BFD is closed.

SUBSECTION
        Writing symbols

        Writing of a symbol table is automatic when a BFD open for
        writing is closed. The application attaches a vector of
        pointers to pointers to symbols to the BFD being written, and
        fills in the symbol count. The close and cleanup code reads
        through the table provided and performs all the necessary
        operations. The BFD output code must always be provided with an
        ``owned'' symbol: one which has come from another BFD, or one
        which has been created using <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>.  Here is an
        example showing the creation of a symbol table with only one element:

|       #include "bfd.h"
|       main()
|       {
|         bfd *abfd;
|         asymbol *ptrs[2];
|         asymbol *new;
|
|         abfd = bfd_openw("foo","a.out-sunos-big");
|         bfd_set_format(abfd, bfd_object);
|         new = bfd_make_empty_symbol(abfd);
|         new->name = "dummy_symbol";
|         new->section = bfd_make_section_old_way(abfd, ".text");
|         new->flags = BSF_GLOBAL;
|         new->value = 0x12345;
|
|         ptrs[0] = new;
|         ptrs[1] = (asymbol *)0;
|
|         bfd_set_symtab(abfd, ptrs, 1);
|         bfd_close(abfd);
|       }
|
|       ./makesym
|       nm foo
|       00012345 A dummy_symbol

        Many formats cannot represent arbitary symbol information; for
        instance, the <<a.out>> object format does not allow an
        arbitary number of sections. A symbol pointing to a section
        which is not one  of <<.text>>, <<.data>> or <<.bss>> cannot
        be described.

INODE
Mini Symbols, typedef asymbol, Writing Symbols, Symbols
SUBSECTION
        Mini Symbols

        Mini symbols provide read-only access to the symbol table.
        They use less memory space, but require more time to access.
        They can be useful for tools like nm or objdump, which may
        have to handle symbol tables of extremely large executables.

        The <<bfd_read_minisymbols>> function will read the symbols
        into memory in an internal form.  It will return a <<void *>>
        pointer to a block of memory, a symbol count, and the size of
        each symbol.  The pointer is allocated using <<malloc>>, and
        should be freed by the caller when it is no longer needed.

        The function <<bfd_minisymbol_to_symbol>> will take a pointer
        to a minisymbol, and a pointer to a structure returned by
        <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>>, and return a <<asymbol>> structure.
        The return value may or may not be the same as the value from
        <<bfd_make_empty_symbol>> which was passed in.
