LAR headers do not save information as to code vs. data, etc.
Our choices are:
- continue with ELF support (though I do not intend to ever use it :-
)
But the ELF support outside the LAR utility should be protected by
ifdef
to make it easy to compile it out.
Yes. Let's go both ways for now. Let's make it possible to keep ELF in there for the "safe case" and let's make it possible to drop ELF completely as a path for the near future where we do all preparsing at build time.
Myles? Could you prepare a patch which #ifdefs the code instead of removing it?
It's non-trivial. I think it will complicate the build process, Kconfig, and code quite a bit. I think the right thing to do is add whatever support to lar is needed, then when everyone feels comfortable, use something like my last patch.
