Name : elfutils Product : Fedora 14 Version : 0.151 Release : 1.fc14 URL : https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/ Summary : A collection of utilities and DSOs to handle compiled objects Description : Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including ld (a linker), nm (for listing symbols from object files), size (for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file), strip (for discarding symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file structures), and elflint (to check for well-formed ELF files). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes bugs in libdwfl when handling prelinked files with separate debug files. These bugs would manifest when using SystemTap user-space probes on prelinked DSO and executable files. Version 0.150 fixed some of these cases but introduced regressions for others. Version 0.151 resolves all the known cases correctly. This update fixes bugs in handling prelinked DSO files with separate debug files and in handling files with very large .debug_aranges sections. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Jan 12 2011 Roland McGrath <[email protected]> - 0.151-1 - Update to 0.151 - libdwfl: Fix for more prelink cases with separate debug file. - eu-strip: New flag --strip-sections to remove section headers entirely. * Thu Dec 2 2010 Roland McGrath <[email protected]> - 0.150-2 - libdwfl: Remove bogus assert.
