Re: Relocations, GOT, and PLT?


Hi Houda,

I have read BFD internals and the section BFD
relocation handling, but i don't understand what is
exactly relocations?
What is GOT and PLT?

You need to learn about linkers and how they work. This is a large topic - more than can be covered in a single email. I suggest you find a good book on the subject. eg "Linkers and Loaders" by John Levine.


How can i determine the howto structure i should
define for a specific target (microcontrolleur 8 bit)?

The best method is to examine the code for a similar port and use it as a guideline for creating your own port. What sort of microcontroller is it ? Is it similar to any other CPUs ?


Cheers
  Nick
