If you need to store a large number of CTF containers somewhere, this provides a dedicated facility for doing so: an mmappable archive format like a very simple tar or ar without all the system-dependent format horrors or need for heavy file copying, with built-in compression of files above a particular size threshold. libctf automatically mmap()s uncompressed elements of these archives, or uncompresses them, as needed. (If the platform does not support mmap(), copying into dynamically-allocated buffers is used.) Archive iteration operations are partitioned into raw and non-raw forms. Raw operations pass thhe raw archive contents to the callback: non-raw forms open each member with ctf_bufopen() and pass the resulting ctf_file_t to the iterator instead. This lets you manipulate the raw data in the archive, or the contents interpreted as a CTF file, as needed. It is not yet known whether we will store CTF archives in a linked ELF object in one of these (akin to debugdata) or whether they'll get one section per TU plus one parent container for types shared between them. (In the case of ELF objects with very large numbers of TUs, an archive of all of them would seem preferable, so we might just use an archive, and add lzma support so you can assume that .gnu_debugdata and .ctf are compressed using the same algorithm if both are present.) To make usage easier, the ctf_archive_t is not the on-disk representation but an abstraction over both ctf_file_t's and archives of many ctf_file_t's: users see both CTF archives and raw CTF files as ctf_archive_t's upon opening, the only difference being that a raw CTF file has only a single "archive member", named ".ctf" (the default if a null pointer is passed in as the name). The next commit will make use of this facility, in addition to providing the public interface to actually open archives. (In the future, it should be possible to have all CTF sections in an ELF file appear as an "archive" in the same fashion.) This machinery is also used to allow library-internal creators of ctf_archive_t's (such as the next commit) to stash away an ELF string and symbol table, so that all opens of members in a given archive will use them. This lets CTF archives exploit the ELF string and symbol table just like raw CTF files can. (All this leads to somewhat confusing type naming. The ctf_archive_t is a typedef for the opaque internal type, struct ctf_archive_internal: the non-internal "struct ctf_archive" is the on-disk structure meant for other libraries manipulating CTF files. It is probably clearest to use the struct name for struct ctf_archive_internal inside the program, and the typedef names outside.) libctf/ * ctf-archive.c: New. * ctf-impl.h (ctf_archive_internal): New type.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
