data.rs

//! Global variables as the image a file carries and the facts a linker needs about it.
//!
//! Design: `spec/11-asm-objects-debug.md` section 11.1, which asks that the text path and the
//! binary path share one description so they cannot disagree. That is what this is for data: the
//! walk over a module's globals happens once, here, and what it produces is a list of pieces that
//! [`crate::att`] writes down as directives and [`Globals::image`] writes down as bytes. A `.long`
//! in a listing and the four bytes in the object beside it come from the same piece.
//!
//! # What a piece is
//!
//! As much of an image as one directive says. The four kinds are the four things C can put in an
//! initializer: a run of zeros, a run of literal bytes, one scalar, and the address of a symbol.
//! The first three are bytes the compiler knows and the fourth is a hole the linker fills, which
//! is the only reason data has relocations at all.
//!
//! Where a variable goes is worked out here too, from what the variable is rather than from
//! anything the object format says: a variable nothing writes through goes in a page the loader
//! can map read only, one whose image is all zeros goes in the section that carries no image, and
//! one the program named a section for goes where the program said. What those sections are
//! called is the format's business and is in [`crate::format`].
//!
//! # What is refused
//!
//! A thread-local variable. Reaching one is a call to `__tls_get_addr` or a load from the thread
//! pointer depending on the model, none of which the back end builds yet, so a file with one in it
//! is refused by name rather than written out as an ordinary variable that every thread would
//! share.
