Subject: powerpc64 and "nm -C"
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 06:21:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020626132058.GW22093@bubble.sa.bigpond.net.au> (raw)
The demangler currently doesn't work very well on powerpc64 due to
those pesky leading `.'s on function entry point symbols. I also
think it useful to be able to distinguish function descriptor syms
(without a dot) from function code syms (with dot) after demangling,
hence the ldmisc.c change.
ld/ChangeLog
* ldmisc.c (demangle): Restore dots stripped from sym name.
binutils/ChangeLog
* nm.c (print_symname): When demangling, strip leading dots from
symbol names to avoid confusing the demangler.
