Things that still need to be done: -*- Text -*- o - A source of space lossage is that all the target-dependent code is in a single bfd_target structure. Hence all the code for *writing* object files is still pulled into all the applications that only care about *reading* (gdb, nm, objdump), while gas has to carry along all the unneeded baggage for reading objects. And so on. This would be a substantial change, and the payoff would not all that great (essentially none if bfd is used as a shared library). o - The storage needed by BFD data structures is also larger than strictly needed. This may be difficult to do much about. o - implement bfd_abort, which should close the bfd but not alter the filesystem. o - update the bfd doc; write a how-to-write-a-backend doc, take out the stupid quips and fill in all the blanks. o - upgrade the reloc handling as per Steve's suggestion.
