the new --prefix-addresses option to get the old format. There are also new
--disassemble-zeroes and --no-show-raw-insn options which affect disassembler
output.
objdump --dynamic-reloc now works with ELF
1996-12-15 20:00:20 +00:00
* binutils.texi (Target Selection): Document that you can now specify targets using configuration triplets.
1996-10-03 21:43:00 +00:00

objdump -b i386-pc-linux. The triplets are not passed through config.sub,
so they must be in canonical form.

listing, for a more useful listing of relocateable files.
* Changed objdump -d/--disassemble to only disassemble SEC_CODE sections.
Added -D/--disassemble-all option to disassemble all sections.

PowerPC (except ar and ranlib; by Ian Taylor).
* Support for Irix 5.
* Programs `strip' and `objcopy' will not attempt to write dynamically linked
ELF output files, since BFD currently can't create them properly.

1996-06-12 03:14:14 +00:00
* A new --stabs argument has been added to objdump to dump stabs sections in
ELF and COFF files.
* A new program, nlmconv, has been added. It can convert object files into
Novell NetWare Loadable Modules.
* The strings program has been added.

1996-06-12 03:14:14 +00:00
* 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.
* objdump.c (usage): Mention --no-show-raw-insn. (long_options): Add "no-show-raw-insn". (disassemble_bytes): Handle --no-show-raw-insn. * binutils.texi, objdump.1: Document --no-show-raw-insn.

Changes in binutils 2.1:
* objdump.c (dump_reloc_set): Add sec parameter. Change all callers. If with_line_numbers is set, display line numbers of relocation entries. * binutils.texi, objdump.1: Document -l with -r.
1996-06-12 03:14:14 +00:00
* There is now support for writing ECOFF files, so ld and the other utilities
should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix. Please let us know how well this works.
* ar now automatically creates a symbol table (a __.SYMDEF member, in the BSD
version), if there are any object files in the archive. 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. This is to encourage people to
switch to SYSV-format, which has a number of advantages.
* The strip and copy programs now have options to remove debug-symbols only
and/or local symbols only. They now also support long options.
