Hi, Is anybody working with ELF file formats? Please help me The current ELF reader utilities (for example ELFDUMP from ELFIO and readelf) produces the .text for the entire program includuing amount of .text taken by the libraries. Consider that in the linker command file i have for example three object files (.o files) CAN I EXTRACT THE .text section FOR EACH OBJECT FILE FROM THE ELF format ?. The current ELF utilities produces the total amount of .text by summing up the number of bytes in the .text section (for three object files in this case) together with the .text taken by the libraries (for example, the start up routine). Looking forward for your reply. Why am i doing this?. Since the map file format is different for different compilers i want to use the common format to extract the .text section for each of the object file given in the linker command file. Regards Siva
