Relocatable Symbols within Expressions.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

We are developing a port of the GNU Compiler + Assembler for a client
architecture. 
Now the problem being faced is that:

If an immediate operand to an instruction of the assembly language, is
an expression involving more than one relocatable symbols, how is it
handled in output file in elf format. 

What will be the relocation information produced in such a case?

Taking the simple example of a Jump instruction, referenced as 'j':

j label1 + label2

where label1 and label2 are defined in relocatable sections, they might
be the same sections or different relocatable sections.
