A few short notes on PIC support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. References to the symbol "_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_" are special. These always
|
||
|
|
PC relative to the start of the current instruction. Also, they occur
|
||
|
|
in "complex" expressions in function prologs, eg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
move _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ + (. - L1 ), %some_register
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The expression parser can't handle these generically, so the expression
|
||
|
|
above is recognised as a special case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. Some archs have special PIC assembler syntax to reference static and global
|
||
|
|
data. This is handled in targ-cpu.c.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. Correct relocation_info must be output (eg. fields r_jmptable and r_baserel).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. Internal labels must be output in the symbol table if they are referred to
|
||
|
|
by PIC instructions. The linker must allocate a GOT slot for them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. The former meaning of the -k switch ("WORKING_DOT" stuff), has been nuked
|
||
|
|
in favour of enabling PIC code recognition.
