24 | *
|
---|
25 | * A module is our representation of an executable binary. It's main purpose
|
---|
26 | * is to provide segments that can be mapped into address spaces and thereby
|
---|
27 | * provide debug info for those parts for the guest code or data.
|
---|
28 | *
|
---|
29 | * This module will not deal directly with debug info, it will only serve
|
---|
30 | * as an interface between the debugger / symbol lookup and the debug info
|
---|
31 | * readers.
|
---|
32 | *
|
---|
33 | * An executable binary doesn't need to have a file, or that is, we don't
|
---|
34 | * need the file to create a module for it. There will be interfaces for
|
---|
35 | * ROMs to register themselves so we can get to their symbols, and there
|
---|
36 | * will be interfaces for the guest OS plugins (@see pg_dbgf_os) to
|
---|
37 | * register kernel, drivers and other global modules.
