Reference type and flags of symbol

Required Methods§

Source

fn desc(&self) -> u16

raw desc value

Provided Methods§

Source

fn ref_type(&self) -> u8

types of references

Source

fn is_ref_dyn(&self) -> bool

To simplify stripping of objects that use are used with the dynamic link editor, the static link editor marks the symbols defined an object that are referenced by a dynamicly bound object (dynamic shared libraries, bundles). With this marking strip knows not to strip these symbols.
