"relocation addend field"

[xinant at cognigine dot com (Xinan Tang)]

Hi

  Thanks Alan Modra for answering my question on relocation.
Now allow me to elaborate my question about generating
relocation entry.

  In tc_gen_reloc(), this is what I did,

    rel->addend  = fixp->fx_addnumber;

  I.e., I am using fx_addnumber to pass value between md_apply_fix() and
tc_gen_reloc(). This `addend' NON-ZERO value can be seen until the last
call in write_object_file().

  However, when using `objdump' to print the relocation info.
the field `addend' is ZERO. How could this happen?

Thanks
