- Subject: Unknown section identifier in ObjDump output
Hi
This may be obvious, but I can not find any reference to this on Google.
I have copied output from ObjDump, pertaining to the symbol table. It
contains an entry who's section is '*COM*'.
Essentially, what is '*COM*' in respect to relocation?
The code only has .text, .data, .rodata and .bss sections - so what does
'*com*' relate to when performing relocation on a custom system?
Thanks in advance.
