--- Comment #6 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- Created attachment 15220 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=15220&action=edit Proposed patch Hi Andreas, Is this patch what you had in mind ? It adds a -Z/--decompress command line option to objdump, and if you do try to dump a compressed section without using this new option it will display: NOTE: This section is compressed, but its contents have NOT been expanded for this dump. Cheers Nick PS. The patch is incomplete. I have not yet added documentation, or a NEWS file entry, or a new testcase or even checked for regressions. But it does show the idea of what can be done. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
