133965SjdpThings that still need to be done: -*- Text -*- 233965Sjdp 333965Sjdp o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent code 433965Sjdp is in a single bfd_target structure. Hence all the code for 533965Sjdp *writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications 633965Sjdp that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas has 733965Sjdp to carry along all the unneeded baggage for reading objects. And 833965Sjdp so on. This would be a substantial change, and the payoff would 933965Sjdp not all that great (essentially none if bfd is used as a shared 1033965Sjdp library). 1133965Sjdp 1233965Sjdp o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly 1333965Sjdp needed. This may be difficult to do much about. 1433965Sjdp 1533965Sjdp o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the 1633965Sjdp filesystem. 1733965Sjdp 1833965Sjdp o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out 1933965Sjdp the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks. 2033965Sjdp 2133965Sjdp o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion. 2233965Sjdp 2333965Sjdp 2433965Sjdp 2533965Sjdp 26
