Object File Interface
=====================

This module provides an interface for reading information from object files
(e.g. binary executables and libraries).

Using this module, you can obtain information about an object file's sections,
symbols, and relocations. These are represented by the classes ObjectFile,
Section, Symbol, and Relocation, respectively.

Usage
-----

The only way to use this module is to start by creating an ObjectFile. You can
create an ObjectFile by loading a file (specified by its path) or by creating a
llvm.core.MemoryBuffer and loading that.

Once you have an object file, you can inspect its sections and symbols directly
by calling get_sections() and get_symbols() respectively. To inspect
relocations, call get_relocations() on a Section instance.

Iterator Interface
------------------

The LLVM bindings expose iteration over sections, symbols, and relocations in a
way that only allows one instance to be operated on at a single time. This is
slightly annoying from a Python perspective, as it isn't very Pythonic to have
objects that "expire" but are still active from a dynamic language.

To aid working around this limitation, each Section, Symbol, and Relocation
instance caches its properties after first access. So, if the underlying
iterator is advanced, the properties can still be obtained provided they have
already been retrieved.

In addition, we also provide a "cache" method on each class to cache all
available data. You can call this on each obtained instance. Or, you can pass
cache=True to the appropriate get_XXX() method to have this done for you.

Here are some examples on how to perform iteration:

    obj = ObjectFile(filename='/bin/ls')

    # This is OK. Each Section is only accessed inside its own iteration slot.
    section_names = []
    for section in obj.get_sections():
        section_names.append(section.name)

    # This is NOT OK. You perform a lookup after the object has expired.
    symbols = list(obj.get_symbols())
    for symbol in symbols:
        print symbol.name # This raises because the object has expired.

    # In this example, we mix a working and failing scenario.
    symbols = []
    for symbol in obj.get_symbols():
        symbols.append(symbol)
        print symbol.name

    for symbol in symbols:
        print symbol.name # OK
        print symbol.address # NOT OK. We didn't look up this property before.

    # Cache everything up front.
    symbols = list(obj.get_symbols(cache=True))
    for symbol in symbols:
        print symbol.name # OK
