Next: Opening and Closing, Previous: Targets, Up: BFD front end
BFD keeps one atom in a BFD describing the
architecture of the data attached to the BFD: a pointer to a
bfd_arch_info_type.
Pointers to structures can be requested independently of a BFD so that an architecture's information can be interrogated without access to an open BFD.
The architecture information is provided by each architecture package.
The set of default architectures is selected by the macro
SELECT_ARCHITECTURES. This is normally set up in the
config/target.mt file of your choice. If the name is not
defined, then all the architectures supported are included.
When BFD starts up, all the architectures are called with an initialize method. It is up to the architecture back end to insert as many items into the list of architectures as it wants to; generally this would be one for each machine and one for the default case (an item with a machine field of 0).
BFD's idea of an architecture is implemented in archures.c.
Description
This enum gives the object file's CPU architecture, in a
global sense—i.e., what processor family does it belong to?
Another field indicates which processor within
the family is in use. The machine gives a number which
distinguishes different versions of the architecture,
containing, for example, 2 and 3 for Intel i960 KA and i960 KB,
and 68020 and 68030 for Motorola 68020 and 68030.

Description
Return a printable string representing the architecture and machine
from the pointer to the architecture info structure.
bfd_scan_archSynopsis
const bfd_arch_info_type *bfd_scan_arch (const char *string);
Description
Figure out if BFD supports any cpu which could be described with
the name string. Return a pointer to an arch_info
structure if a machine is found, otherwise NULL.
bfd_arch_listSynopsis
const char **bfd_arch_list (void);
Description

bfd_arch_get_compatibleSynopsis
const bfd_arch_info_type *bfd_arch_get_compatible

unsigned int bfd_arch_bits_per_address (bfd *abfd);
Description
Return the number of bits in one of the BFD abfd's
architecture's addresses.
bfd_default_compatibleSynopsis
const bfd_arch_info_type *bfd_default_compatible
(const bfd_arch_info_type *a, const bfd_arch_info_type *b);
Description
The default function for testing for compatibility.
bfd_default_scanSynopsis
bfd_boolean bfd_default_scan
(const struct bfd_arch_info *info, const char *string);
Description
The default function for working out whether this is an
architecture hit and a machine hit.
bfd_get_arch_infoSynopsis
const bfd_arch_info_type *bfd_get_arch_info (bfd *abfd);
Description
Return the architecture info struct in abfd.
bfd_lookup_archSynopsis
const bfd_arch_info_type *bfd_lookup_arch
(enum bfd_architecture arch, unsigned long machine);
Description
Look for the architecture info structure which matches the
arguments arch and machine. A machine of 0 matches the
machine/architecture structure which marks itself as the
default.
bfd_printable_arch_machSynopsis
const char *bfd_printable_arch_mach
(enum bfd_architecture arch, unsigned long machine);
Description
Return a printable string representing the architecture and
machine type.
This routine is depreciated.
bfd_octets_per_byteSynopsis
unsigned int bfd_octets_per_byte (bfd *abfd);
Description
Return the number of octets (8-bit quantities) per target byte
(minimum addressable unit). In most cases, this will be one, but some
DSP targets have 16, 32, or even 48 bits per byte.
bfd_arch_mach_octets_per_byteSynopsis
unsigned int bfd_arch_mach_octets_per_byte
(enum bfd_architecture arch, unsigned long machine);
Description
See bfd_octets_per_byte.
This routine is provided for those cases where a bfd * is not available
