bfd_check_format currently does not take much notice of the target
set in its abfd arg, merely checking that target first if
target_defaulted is false. As the comment says this was due to
complications with archive handling which I think was fixed in
commit f832531609. It should now be possible to just check the
given target, except for linker input files. This will speed checking
the target of the first file in archives, which is done in the process
of matching archive targets.
This will no doubt expose some misuse of target options, as found in
the binutils "efi app" tests.
The stricter checking also exposed some errors. Cris targets gave
"FAIL: objcopy decompress debug sections in archive (reason: unexpected output)"
"FAIL: objcopy decompress debug sections in archive with zlib-gabi (reason: unexpected output)"
without the bfd_generic_archive_p fix. cris has a default target of
cris-aout which doesn't match objects for any of the cris-elf or
cris-linux targets. The problem here was that checking the first
object file in archives didn't match but a logic error there meant
bfd_error_wrong_object_format wasn't returned as it should be. There
was also a possibility of bfd_error_wrong_object_format persisting
from one target check to the next.
bfd/
* archive.c (bfd_generic_archive_p): Correct object in archive
target test.
* format.c (bfd_check_format_matches_lto): Try to match given
target first even when target_defaulted is set. Don't try
other targets if !target_defaulted except for linker input.
Clear bfd_error before attempted target matches.
* targets.c (bfd_find_target): Set target_defaulted for
plugin target.
binutils/
* bucomm.h (set_plugin_target): Set target_defaulted.
* testsuite/binutils-all/aarch64/pei-aarch64-little.d: Don't
wrongly specify both input and output target, just specify
output.
* testsuite/binutils-all/loongarch64/pei-loongarch64.d: Likewise.
* testsuite/binutils-all/riscv/pei-riscv64.d: Likewise.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
