Bug ID: 22136
Summary: Support marking "debug" info files with special
ET_GNU_DEBUG_* values.
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
We need a way to identify "debug" info files, which appear like they are ELF
files but if inspected are actually missing a lot of information and can't be
properly parsed without the original DSO or executable.
To that end I suggest we adopt:
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_EXEC
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_DYN
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_REL
As ways to mark these files a debug information files. We can place them into
the OS-specific area, and audit that we don't overlap anything important from
other OSs.
We would need new binutils options to edit, adjust and set the "debug"-ness of
files.
