From a36a0cdb185d9fa14eae252b094a625ddff78207 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Clifton Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 16:09:01 +0000 Subject: * objcopy.c (use_alt_mach_code): Change type to unsigned long. (copy_object): If bfd_alt_mach_code fails emit a more helpful message and if the target architecture is ELF use the alternative as replacement value for the e_machine number. (copy_main): Use strtoul to parse the number provided with the --alt-mach-code switch. * doc/binutils.texi (--alt-mach-code): Document that this switch can now set the absolute e_machine value. --- binutils/ChangeLog | 11 +++++++++++ binutils/doc/binutils.texi | 4 +++- binutils/objcopy.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++--------- 3 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/binutils/ChangeLog b/binutils/ChangeLog index 5fbcc4ffe8..99e3569e2a 100644 --- a/binutils/ChangeLog +++ b/binutils/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +2006-02-28 Nick Clifton + + * objcopy.c (use_alt_mach_code): Change type to unsigned long. + (copy_object): If bfd_alt_mach_code fails emit a more helpful + message and if the target architecture is ELF use the alternative + as replacement value for the e_machine number. + (copy_main): Use strtoul to parse the number provided with the + --alt-mach-code switch. + * doc/binutils.texi (--alt-mach-code): Document that this switch + can now set the absolute e_machine value. + 2006-02-27 Carlos O'Donell * po/Make-in: Add html target. diff --git a/binutils/doc/binutils.texi b/binutils/doc/binutils.texi index 828eb5d2f3..aaa0951229 100644 --- a/binutils/doc/binutils.texi +++ b/binutils/doc/binutils.texi @@ -1399,7 +1399,9 @@ If the output architecture has alternate machine codes, use the @var{index}th code instead of the default one.
