| 23 | /* This file defines functions (and commands to exercise those |
| 24 | functions) for reading debugging information from object files |
| 25 | whose images are mapped directly into the inferior's memory. For |
| 26 | example, the Linux kernel maps a "syscall DSO" into each process's |
| 27 | address space; this DSO provides kernel-specific code for some |
| 28 | system calls. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | At the moment, BFD only has functions for parsing object files from |
| 31 | memory for the ELF format, even though the general idea isn't |
| 32 | ELF-specific. This means that BFD only provides the functions GDB |
| 33 | needs when configured for ELF-based targets. So these functions |
| 34 | may only be compiled on ELF-based targets. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | GDB has no idea whether it has been configured for an ELF-based |
| 37 | target or not: it just tries to handle whatever files it is given. |
| 38 | But this means there are no preprocessor symbols on which we could |
| 39 | make these functions' compilation conditional. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | So, for the time being, we put these functions alone in this file, |
| 42 | and have .mt files reference them as appropriate. In the future, I |
| 43 | hope BFD will provide a format-independent bfd_from_remote_memory |
| 44 | entry point. */ |
