The later. From <elf.h>: /* Legal values for st_other field of Elf64_Sym. */ #define STO_ALPHA_NOPV 0x80 /* No PV required. */ #define STO_ALPHA_STD_GPLOAD 0x88 /* PV only used for initial ldgp. */ As for the _G_O_T_ symbol value, there's no reason for the value to even be within the .got section; the value may be offset by +- 32k to aid indexing. Further, Alpha supports multiple .got subsections, such that _G_O_T_ does not represent a global value across the entire DSO. Honestly there's no reason to check this on Alpha. r~ _______________________________________________ elfutils-devel mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/elfutils-devel
