[llvm-objcopy] Add elf32-sparc and elf32-sparcel target
ClosedPublic

Summary

The "sparc"/"sparcel" architectures appears in ArchMap (used by -B option) but not in OutputFormatMap (used by -I/-O option). Add their targets into OutputFormatMap for consistency.

Note that AFAIK there're no targets for 32-bit little-endian SPARC ("elf32-sparcel") in GNU binutils.

Looks good, I think, but does GNU objcopy have sparc as -I/-O type? Is the syntax the same as you have used?

Yes, it has the same target name. I'm not familiar with SPARC at all, but now I noticed that 32-bit SPARC is big endian and gnu-objcopy -Oelf32-sparc certainly emits a big endian ELF file. I think I should fix the SPARC entry in ArchMap before committing this patch. What do you think on this?

I mean this 32-bit SPARC entry should be big endian.

In LLVM, there's a target named SPARCV8el, the 32-bit little-endian SPARC target so adding sparc/ sparcel into ArchMap and elf32-sparc/elf32-sparcel into OutputFormatMap would be better I think.

I'm not familiar with SPARC either. Are you confident about it being big endian? If so, fixing the map seems fine and relevant. I have no problem with you adding the sparcel target if you want.

According to bfd/elf32-sparc.c in GNU binutils and clang/lib/Basic/Targets/Sparc.h, it seems to be big endian. I'll submit another patch for this.
