<h3 class="section">4.8 <code>ld</code> and MMIX</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For MMIX, there is a choice of generating <code>ELF</code> object files or
|
||
|
|
<code>mmo</code> object files when linking. The simulator <code>mmix</code>
|
||
|
|
understands the <code>mmo</code> format. The binutils <code>objcopy</code> utility
|
||
|
|
can translate between the two formats.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>There is one special section, the ‘<samp><span class="samp">.MMIX.reg_contents</span></samp>’ section.
|
||
|
|
Contents in this section is assumed to correspond to that of global
|
||
|
|
registers, and symbols referring to it are translated to special symbols,
|
||
|
|
equal to registers. In a final link, the start address of the
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">.MMIX.reg_contents</span></samp>’ section corresponds to the first allocated
|
||
|
|
global register multiplied by 8. Register <code>$255</code> is not included in
|
||
|
|
this section; it is always set to the program entry, which is at the
|
||
|
|
symbol <code>Main</code> for <code>mmo</code> files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Global symbols with the prefix <code>__.MMIX.start.</code>, for example
|
||
|
|
<code>__.MMIX.start..text</code> and <code>__.MMIX.start..data</code> are special.
|
||
|
|
The default linker script uses these to set the default start address
|
||
|
|
of a section.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Initial and trailing multiples of zero-valued 32-bit words in a section,
|
||
|
|
are left out from an mmo file.
