Subject: Readelf section header printing alignment
Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2023 15:01:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACB-c0GfaStgy+7WFF-70qsGh8qbgzgVP3Jzdz_6ejwe5JiKww@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The section headers output from readelf with the '-W' option become ugly and
unaligned when a section name is too long.
Example:
Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Address Off Size
ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 0] NULL 0000000000000000 000000
000000 00 0 0 0
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 000040
00000f 00 AX 0 0 1
[ 2] .data PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00004f
000000 00 WA 0 0 1
[ 3] .bss NOBITS 0000000000000000 00004f
000000 00 WA 0 0 1
[ 4] .comment PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00004f
00002c 01 MS 0 0 1
[ 5] .note.GNU-stack PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00007b
000000 00 0 0 1
[ 6] .note.gnu.property NOTE 0000000000000000 000080
000020 00 A 0 0 8
[ 7] .eh_frame PROGBITS 0000000000000000 0000a0
000038 00 A 0 0 8
[ 8] .rela.eh_frame RELA 0000000000000000 000148
000018 18 I 9 7 8
[ 9] .symtab SYMTAB 0000000000000000 0000d8
000060 18 10 3 8
[10] .strtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 000138
00000d 00 0 0 1
[11] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 000160
000067 00 0 0 1
May I submit a patch to compute the amount of space between 'Name' and 'Type'
from the longest of the section header names, or is this just a silly
formatting detail that no one cares about? :)
Thanks,
Pete
