| GC on EWS4800
 | |
| -------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. About EWS4800
 | |
|    EWS4800 is 32bit/64bit workstation.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Vender: NEC Corporation
 | |
|      OS: UX/4800 R9.* - R13.* (SystemV R4.2)
 | |
|      CPU: R4000, R4400, R10000 (MIPS)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. Compiler
 | |
| 
 | |
|  32bit:
 | |
|    Use ANSI C compiler.
 | |
|      CC = /usr/abiccs/bin/cc
 | |
| 
 | |
|  64bit:
 | |
|    Use 64bit ANSI C compiler.
 | |
|      CC = /usr/ccs64/bin/cc
 | |
|      AR = /usr/ccs64/bin/ar
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. ELF file format
 | |
|    *** Caution: The following infomation is empirical. ***
 | |
| 
 | |
|  32bit:
 | |
|    ELF file has an unique format. (See a.out(4) and end(3C).)
 | |
| 
 | |
|      &_start
 | |
|         :      text segment
 | |
|      &etext
 | |
|      DATASTART
 | |
|         :      data segment (initialized)
 | |
|      &edata
 | |
|      DATASTART2
 | |
|         :      data segment (uninitialized)
 | |
|      &end
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Here, DATASTART and DATASTART2 are macros of GC, and are defined as
 | |
|    the following equations. (See include/private/gcconfig.h.)
 | |
|    The algorithm for DATASTART is similar with the function
 | |
|    GC_SysVGetDataStart() in os_dep.c.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      DATASTART  = ((&etext + 0x3ffff) & ~0x3ffff) + (&etext & 0xffff)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     Dynamically linked:
 | |
|      DATASTART2 = (&_gp + 0x8000 + 0x3ffff) & ~0x3ffff
 | |
| 
 | |
|     Statically linked:
 | |
|      DATASTART2 = &edata
 | |
| 
 | |
|    GC has to check addresses both between DATASTART and &edata, and
 | |
|    between DATASTART2 and &end. If a program accesses between &etext
 | |
|    and DATASTART, or between &edata and DATASTART2, the segmentation
 | |
|    error occurs and the program stops.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    If a program is statically linked, there is not a gap between
 | |
|    &edata and DATASTART2. The global symbol &_DYNAMIC_LINKING is used
 | |
|    for the detection.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  64bit:
 | |
|    ELF file has a simple format. (See end(3C).)
 | |
| 
 | |
|      _ftext
 | |
|         :      text segment
 | |
|      _etext
 | |
|      _fdata = DATASTART
 | |
|         :      data segment (initialized)
 | |
|      _edata
 | |
|      _fbss
 | |
|         :      data segment (uninitialized)
 | |
|      _end = DATAEND
