Module relocations 

This module defines the Relocation trait and several utilities for implementing relocations.

Structs

ImpossibleRelocation

Error returned when encoding a relocation failed

RelocationType

RelocationType contains all information needed to describe how a relocation should be performed by the runtime

SimpleRelocation

A simple relocation type for relocations that do not need complex bitpacking.

Enums

RelocationEncoding

Enum that specifies how a certain relocation is encoded.

RelocationKind

Enum that specifies if/how relocations should be adapted if the assembling buffer is moved

RelocationSize

A simple size-based relocation descriptor for relocations in data directives. Can be converted to a relocation for any kind of architecture using Relocation::from_size.

Traits

ArchitectureRelocationEncoding

Trait that just handles the internal decoding of architecture-specific relocation encodings This is useful so the relocation type machinery can be generic over it.

Relocation

Used to inform assemblers on how to implement relocations for each architecture. When implementing a new architecture, one simply has to implement this trait for the architecture’s relocation definition.
