Originally added in r139314. Back then it didn't actually get the address, it got whatever value the relocation used: address or offset. The values in different object formats are: * MachO: Always an offset. * COFF: Always an address, but when talking about the virtual address of sections it says: "for simplicity, compilers should set this to zero". * ELF: An offset for .o files and and address for .so files. In the case of the .so, the relocation in not linked to any section (sh_info is 0). We can't really compute an offset. Some API mappings would be: * Use getAddress for everything. It would be quite cumbersome. To compute the address elf has to follow sh_info, which can be corrupted and therefore the method has to return an ErrorOr. The address of the section is also the same for every relocation in a section, so we shouldn't have to check the error and fetch the value for every relocation. * Use a getValue and make it up to the user to know what it is getting. * Use a getOffset and: * Assert for dynamic ELF objects. That is a very peculiar case and it is probably fair to ask any tool that wants to support it to use ELF.h. The only tool we have that reads those (llvm-readobj) already does that. The only other use case I can think of is a dynamic linker. * Check that COFF .obj files have sections with zero virtual address spaces. If it turns out that some assembler/compiler produces these, we can change COFFObjectFile::getRelocationOffset to subtract it. Given COFF format, this can be done without the need for ErrorOr. The getRelocationAddress method was never implemented for COFF. It also had exactly one use in a very peculiar case: a shortcut for adding the section value to a pcrel reloc on MachO. Given that, I don't expect that there is any use out there of the C API. If that is not the case, let me know and I will add it back with the implementation inlined and do a proper deprecation. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@241450 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 |
