Detailed Description

Encodes an object module file as a collection of sections, symbols and relocations.

Member Function Documentation

SetupOptions()

void Module::SetupOptions	(	char	special_char,
		std::shared_ptr< OutputFormat >	output_format,
		std::shared_ptr< const InputFormat >	input_format )

Initializes the reader for linking purposes.

Parameters

special_char	Most input formats do not provide support for the special requirements of the output format (such as segmentation for ELF). We work around this by introducing special name prefixes $$SEGOF$ where $ is the value of special_char.
output_format	The output format that will be used. This is required to know which extra special features need to be implemented (such as segmentation).
input_format	The input format that will be used. This is required to know which extra special features need to be implemented (such as segmentation).
