Improve the "libelf by Example" tutorial: revise a few sentences
describing ELF version number handling.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2399 /trunk/documentation/libelf-by-example/ (Makefile libelf-by-example.tex): (link)

Rework a figure in the "libelf by Example" tutorial:
 * Translate the figure to PGF/TikZ syntax, and disconnect its MetaPost
   source from the build.
 * Tweak the caption for the figure.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2378 /trunk/test/nm/ts/ (8 files in 7 dirs): (link)

Remove test cases from the '''nm''' test suite that test the older
(prior to changeset [2376]) behavior of the `-o` option.

Ticket: #378

Commit by jkoshy :: r2377 /trunk/nm/nm.1: (link)

Document the behavior of the `-o` option to '''nm''', after
changeset [2376].

Ticket: #378

Commit by jkoshy :: r2376 /trunk/nm/nm.c: (link)

Correct an oversight in changeset [2375]: ensure that `-o` option to
'''nm''' behaves as specified by POSIX when the `-P` option is specified.

Ticket: #378

Commit by jkoshy :: r2375 /trunk/nm/nm.c: (link)

Change the behaviour of the `-o` option in '''nm''', depending on whether
POSIX semantics were requested using the `-F posix` option.

Ticket: #378

Commit by jkoshy :: r2374 /trunk/nm/nm.c: (link)

Changes to '''nm''':
 * Style fix: keep option handling code sorted.
 * Bug fix: recognize the '-F' option.

Document the `-I`|`-s`|`--input-target` options to '''elfcopy'''.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2372 /trunk/elfcopy/main.c: (link)

Fix an option handling bug in '''elfcopy''': specify that the `-s`
option takes an argument.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2371 /trunk/libdwarf/libdwarf_init.c: (link)

Fix potential double-free() errors in the error handling paths in
`_dwarf_init()` and `_dwarf_consumer_init()`.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2370 /trunk/elfcopy/archive.c: (link)

Improve the portability of '''elfcopy''': use `malloc()` and `read()`
to read in objects instead of `mmap(2)`.

See also: changeset [2347].

Ticket: #364, #366

Commit by jkoshy :: r2369 /trunk/elfcopy/ (archive.c main.c): (link)

In '''elfcopy''', ensure that file offsets are reset for file descriptors
being passed to `elf_begin()`.

This fixes a bug that manifests on systems without `mmap()` support.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2368 /trunk/libelf/ (elf_memory.c libelf_memory.c): (link)

Unbreak the build on FreeBSD:
 * Remove an unused variable declaration.
 * Use `<string.h>` to bring in a prototype for `strncmp()`.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2367 /trunk/ar/ (ar.c ar.h write.c): (link)

Rework '''ar''' to use `elf_open()` and `elf_openmemory()` to read in

Commit by jkoshy :: r2366 /trunk/libelf/ (Makefile elf_open.c libelf.h): (link)

Extend '''libelf''' with extension APIs `elf_open()` and
`elf_openmemory()`.

These APIs are similar to `elf_begin()` and `elf_memory()` respectively,
except that they return an ELF descriptor of kind `ELF_K_NONE` instead
of an error if the object being opened could not be parsed.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2365 /trunk/libelf/ (3 files): (link)

Refactor '''libelf''':
 * Add a `reporterror` parameter to the `_libelf_ar_open()` helper
   function for specifying whether a parse error is to be reported to
   the caller.
 * Trim redundant code in the implementation of `_libelf_memory()`.

Commit by jkoshy :: r2364 /trunk/libelf/ (_libelf.h elf_begin.c libelf_open.c): (link)

Refactor '''libelf''':
 * Add a parameter to the `_libelf_open_object()` helper function,
   specifying whether object parsing errors should be reported to

Commit by jkoshy :: r2363 /trunk/libelf/ (4 files): (link)

Refactor '''libelf''':
 * Implement a helper function `_libelf_memory()` that allocates Elf
   descriptors for in-memory objects, optionally reporting parse errors
   to its caller.
 * Use this helper function to implement the `elf_memory()` API.
