Struct Alias 

pub struct Alias {
    pub name: String,
    pub target: String,
    pub binding: Binding,
}

A second name for something the same file defines.

Not a section and not a byte of anything, which is the whole point of it: an alias is a symbol table entry pointing at an address something else already occupies, so a file with one in it is no larger than the same file without. .set b, a is what an assembler is told and a second entry at the first one’s section, value and size is what a writer produces, and the two say the same thing.

The target is a name rather than an index into anything above, because the two output paths find it in different places: a listing hands the name to an assembler that resolves it, and a writer looks it up among the symbols it has already added.

Fields

name: String

The name being defined, as the C program spelled it.

target: String

The name it stands for, which has to be something this same file defines.

binding: Binding

How the linker sees the new name, which is not always how it sees the old one: the target of extern int b __attribute__((alias("a"))) may be a static.
