Bug ID: 25737
   Summary: Document which readelf and binutils options support
debuginfod
   Product: binutils
   Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P2
 Component: binutils
  Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
  Reporter: marxin.liska at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

I have a few comments about debuginfod support:

1) it's not easy to identify which options do support debuginfod client
support:
./binutils/objdump -W `which openssl` - this support debuginfod
./binutils/objdump --dwarf=info `which openssl` - this not
I would like to see that documented.

2) I would welcome objdump/readelf -V would print if debuginfod is supported or
not

To be honest, I would not worry about any of these options.  None of them
(well except for --embedded-relocs) has any target specific effects, and 
so you should not need to test them for your particular port.

Cheers

PS.  The --embedded-relocs option does have a target specific effect, but it
is only used by a very few targets (bfin, cr16, m68k) and I doubt if it is
needed for your target.

binutils options

2017-03-27 Thread Parul Chahar
Hi,
I am porting binutils to my new architecture. I have made changes similar
to one of the architecture which GNU binutils already supports.

I am also able to do testing of binutils using dejaGNU. But, there are few
options for which I am stuck up and not able to test these options. These
are as follows if someone can help:

1.--strip-discarded
2.--no-strip-discarded
3.--embedded-relocs
4.--fatal-warnings
5.--no-fatal-warnings
6.-fini SYMBOL
7.--force-exe-suffix
8.--init SYMBOL
9.--no-undefined-version
10. --no-warn-mismatch
11. --no-warn-search-mismatch
12. --spare-dynamic-tags COUNT
13.  --split-by-reloc [=COUNT]
14. --task-link SYMBOL

I need examples in C so that I can generate assemble from my compiler and
use linker of binutils for these options

Thanks,
Parul
