1.28.0 - Githubissues

[1.28.0] - 2024-08-09

New SectionText.gpRelHack setting.
- Turning it on changes all instructions that use a %gp_rel reloc into macro instructions that do not specify the relocation explicitly nor reference the $gp register.
- This may even change some instruction mnemonics, like replacing addiu into la.
- This is required by old assemblers that do not support explicit %gp_rel relocations, but instead they infer the relocation to be used by checking if the symbol was defined in the assembly file and its size fits on the passed -G parameter.
- WARNING: It is the user's responsability to provide those symbol definitions to the assembler, otherwise those instructions will be expanded into multiple instructions and produce a shifted build.
elfObjDisasm's readelf:
- Add MIPS_SCOMMON and MIPS_SUNDEFINED support in symtab.
- Use the section name in the ndx column instead of a plain number for OBJECTs and FUNCs.

Try to detect function pointers used on tail call optimizations and try to not confuse them with detected jumptables.
rabbitizer 1.12.0 or above is required.

Fix rodata addresses referenced only by other rodata symbols on the same file not being properly symbolized.
elfObjDisasm's readelf:
- Fix name column not displaying the section's name.
- Fix relocation sections not displaying anything on the name columns for relocations relative to a section instead of a symbol.
