https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245024 Bug ID: 245024 Summary: elftoolchain objcopy is missing --add-symbol Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: markj@FreeBSD.org The objcopy from GNU binutils implements --add-symbol: =3D=3D --add-symbol name=3D[section:]value[,flags] Add a new symbol named name while copying the file. This option may be specified multiple times. If the section is given, the symbol will be associated with and relative to that section, otherwise it will be an ABS symbol. Specifying an undefined section will result in a fatal error. There= is no check for the value, it will be taken as specified. Symbol flags can be specified and not all flags will be meaningful for all object file formats.= By default, the symbol will be global. The special flag =E2=80=99before=3Dothe= rsym=E2=80=99 will insert the new symbol in front of the specified othersym, otherwise the symbol(s) will be added at the end of the symbol table in the order they appear. =3D=3D elftoolchain objcopy does not. I noticed because it would have been useful= for a project I'm working on; I haven't seen a case where the lack of compatibi= lity is a problem. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
