It's not worth avoiding an fseek to the same position, and can cause
problems if the linker's output file (which is opened "w+") is read,
because that can result in writing, reading, then writing again.
POSIX.1-2017 (IEEE Std 1003.1) says of fopen:
"When a file is opened with update mode ('+' as the second or third
character in the mode argument), both input and output may be
performed on the associated stream. However, the application shall
ensure that output is not directly followed by input without an
intervening call to fflush() or to a file positioning function
(fseek(), fsetpos(), or rewind()), and input is not directly followed
by output without an intervening call to a file positioning function,
unless the input operation encounters end-of-file."
* bfdio.c (bfd_seek): Always call iovec->bseek.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
