Struct OutputSection 

pub struct OutputSection { /* private fields */ }

One laid-out section in a linked Image: a name, the address it begins at, and its merged, relocated bytes.

An output section is the concatenation of every input section that shared its name, in object order, placed at a fixed address. Its data is final — relocations into it have been patched — so it is ready to be written to a file or loaded into memory at that address.

Examples

use linker_lang::{link, Object};

let mut obj = Object::new("o");
obj.section(".text", [1, 2, 3, 4]);
let image = link(&[obj]).unwrap();

let text = image.section(".text").unwrap();
assert_eq!(text.name(), ".text");
assert_eq!(text.address(), 0);
assert_eq!(text.data(), &[1, 2, 3, 4]);

Implementations

impl OutputSection

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

Returns the section’s name.

pub const fn address(&self) -> u64

Returns the address the section begins at in the laid-out image.

pub fn data(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns the section’s final bytes, with every relocation into it patched.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of bytes in the section.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the section has no bytes.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for OutputSection

fn clone(&self) -> OutputSection

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for OutputSection

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for OutputSection

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Eq for OutputSection

impl PartialEq for OutputSection

fn eq(&self, other: &OutputSection) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for OutputSection

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
