RE: Bug in objcopy?
Thanks Ian for the explanation. Can you tell me what kind of data is put in .rela.XXX section?

Normally the .rela.XXX section applies to the .XXX section. If you rename a section, it seems natural to rename the corresponding .rela section. As far as I know there is no way to keep this from happening. Ian ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils

Bug in objcopy?
Hi, I tried to rename the section (of .o file) .data to .persistent.data using objcopy utility. It did that, but also renamed the section .rela.data to .rela.persistent. I think this is a bug. If not, how do I keep the .rela.data section name unchanged? Thanks, Chetan ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
