1 Things that still need to be done: -*- Text -*-
3 o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent code
4 is in a single bfd_target structure. Hence all the code for
5 *writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications
6 that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas has
7 to carry along all the unneded baggage for reading objects. And
8 so on. This would be a substantial change, and the payoff would
9 not all that great (essentially none if bfd is used as a shared
12 o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly
13 needed. This may be difficult to do much about.
15 o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the
18 o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out
19 the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks.
21 o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion.
