Bug #: 14136 Summary: I symbol missing in nm documentation Product: binutils Version: 2.22 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: binutils AssignedTo: unassig...@sourceware.org ReportedBy: marco.atz...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified I see on an npi (libmpi.dll.a) library d002278.o: 00000000 i .idata$4 00000000 i .idata$5 00000000 i .idata$6 00000000 i .idata$7 00000000 t .text U __head_cygmpi_1_dll 00000000 I __imp__ompi_mpi_comm_world 00000000 I __nm__ompi_mpi_comm_world but there is no "I" on the nm documentation : --------------------------------------------------------------- "i" For PE format files this indicates that the symbol is in a section specific to the implementation of DLLs. For ELF format files this indicates that the symbol is an indirect function. This is a GNU extension to the standard set of ELF symbol types. It indicates a symbol which if referenced by a relocation does not evaluate to its address, but instead must be invoked at runtime. The runtime execution will then return the value to be used in the relocation. "N" The symbol is a debugging symbol. --------------------------------------------------------------- on objdump documentation is reported: I i The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol (I), a function to be evaluated during reloc processing (i) or a normal symbol (a space). Could nm documentation be updated, please ? -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
