Bug ID: 19716
Summary: bfd/elflink.c does not handle octets_per_byte
properly, line 10021
Product: binutils
Version: 2.25
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dgisselq at ieee dot org
Target Milestone: ---
There are several "FIXME" lines within bfd/elflink.c outlining how bfd does not
properly support ELF files where octets per byte is not 1. I'm currently
working on a port that relies on octets per byte being 4, not 1. Each of these
fixme's therefore notes a problem with bfd/elflink.c.
In this case, the bfd_set_section_contents lines that follow reference the
output_offset, which is given in target byte values, and yet use this to change
information within the file, for which units are octets. Therefore, the
output_offset should be multiplied by octets_per_byte before the call to
bfd_set_section_contents.
