Overview

Originally, Go object files were Plan 9 object files, but no longer. Now they are more like standard object files, in that each symbol is defined by an associated memory image (bytes) and a list of relocations to apply during linking. We do not (yet?) use a standard file format, however. For now, the format is chosen to be as simple as possible to read and write. It may change for reasons of efficiency, or we may even switch to a standard file format if there are compelling benefits to doing so. See golang.org/s/go13linker for more background.

The file format is:

  • magic header: "\x00go112ld"
  • byte 1 - version number
  • sequence of strings giving dependencies (imported packages)
  • empty string (marks end of sequence)
  • sequence of symbol references used by the defined symbols
  • byte 0xff (marks end of sequence)
  • sequence of integer lengths:
  • total data length
  • total number of relocations
  • total number of pcdata
  • total number of automatics
  • total number of funcdata
  • total number of files
  • data, the content of the defined symbols
  • sequence of defined symbols
  • byte 0xff (marks end of sequence)
  • magic footer: "\xffgo112ld"

All integers are stored in a zigzag varint format. See golang.org/s/go12symtab for a definition.

Data blocks and strings are both stored as an integer followed by that many bytes.

A symbol reference is a string name followed by an ABI or -1 for static.

A symbol points to other symbols using an index into the symbol reference sequence. Index 0 corresponds to a nil symbol pointer. In the symbol layout described below "symref index" stands for this index.

Each symbol is laid out as the following fields:

  • byte 0xfe (sanity check for synchronization)
  • type [byte]
  • name & ABI [symref index]
  • flags [int] 1<<0 dupok 1<<1 local 1<<2 add to typelink table
  • size [int]
  • gotype [symref index]
  • p [data block]
  • nr [int]
  • r [nr relocations, sorted by off]

If type == STEXT, there are a few more fields:

  • args [int]
  • locals [int]
  • nosplit [int]
  • flags [int] 1<<0 leaf 1<<1 C function 1<<2 function may call reflect.Type.Method 1<<3 function compiled with -shared
  • nlocal [int]
  • local [nlocal automatics]
  • pcln [pcln table]

Each relocation has the encoding:

  • off [int]
  • siz [int]
  • type [int]
  • add [int]
  • sym [symref index]

Each local has the encoding:

  • asym [symref index]
  • offset [int]
  • type [int]
  • gotype [symref index]

The pcln table has the encoding:

  • pcsp [data block]
  • pcfile [data block]
  • pcline [data block]
  • pcinline [data block]
  • npcdata [int]
  • pcdata [npcdata data blocks]
  • nfuncdata [int]
  • funcdata [nfuncdata symref index]
  • funcdatasym [nfuncdata ints]
  • nfile [int]
  • file [nfile symref index]
  • ninlinedcall [int]
  • inlinedcall [ninlinedcall int symref int symref]

The file layout and meaning of type integers are architecture-independent.

TODO(rsc): The file format is good for a first pass but needs work.

  • There are SymID in the object file that should really just be strings.

Functions

func AbsFile 

func AbsFile(dir, file, pathPrefix string) string

AbsFile returns the absolute filename for file in the given directory. It also removes a leading pathPrefix, or else rewrites a leading $GOROOT prefix to the literal "$GOROOT". If the resulting path is the empty string, the result is "??".

func AddVersionFlag 

func AddVersionFlag()

func DefaultExpstring 

func DefaultExpstring() string

func Expstring 

func Expstring() string

func Flagcount 

func Flagcount(name, usage string, val *int)

func Flagfn1 

func Flagfn1(name, usage string, f func(string))

func Flagparse 

func Flagparse(usage func())

func Flagprint 

func Flagprint(w io.Writer)

func Framepointer_enabled 

func Framepointer_enabled(goos, goarch string) bool

func Getgoextlinkenabled 

func Getgoextlinkenabled() string

func PathToPrefix 

func PathToPrefix(s string) string

PathToPrefix converts raw string to the prefix that will be used in the symbol table. All control characters, space, '%' and '"', as well as non-7-bit clean bytes turn into %xx. The period needs escaping only in the last segment of the path, and it makes for happier users if we escape that as little as possible.

func WorkingDir 

func WorkingDir() string

WorkingDir returns the current working directory (or "/???" if the directory cannot be identified), with "/" as separator.

Types

type FuncID 

type FuncID uint8

func (RelocType) IsDirectJump 

func (r RelocType) IsDirectJump() bool

IsDirectJump reports whether r is a relocation for a direct jump. A direct jump is a CALL or JMP instruction that takes the target address as immediate. The address is embedded into the instruction, possibly with limited width. An indirect jump is a CALL or JMP instruction that takes the target address in register or memory.
