Overview
********
The CTF file format compactly describes C types and the association
between function and data symbols and types: if embedded in ELF objects,
it can exploit the ELF string table to reduce duplication further.
There is no real concept of namespacing: only top-level types are
described, not types scoped to within single functions.
CTF dictionaries can be "children" of other dictionaries, in a
one-level hierarchy: child dictionaries can refer to types in the
parent, but the opposite is not sensible (since if you refer to a child
type in the parent, the actual type you cited would vary depending on
what child was attached). This parent/child definition is recorded in
the child, but only as a recommendation: users of the API have to attach
parents to children explicitly, and can choose to attach a child to any
parent they like, or to none, though doing so might lead to unpleasant
consequences like dangling references to types. *Note Type indexes and
type IDs::. Type lookups in child dicts that are not associated with a
parent at all will fail with 'ECTF_NOPARENT' if a parent type was
needed.
The associated API to generate, merge together, and query this file
format will be described in the accompanying 'libctf' manual once it is
written. There is no API to modify dictionaries once they've been
written out: CTF is a write-once file format. (However, it is always
possible to dynamically create a new child dictionary on the fly and
attach it to a pre-existing, read-only parent.)
There are two major pieces to CTF: the "archive" and the
"dictionary". Some relatives and ancestors of CTF call dictionaries
"containers": the archive format is unique to this variant of CTF. (Much
of the source code still uses the old term.)
The archive file format is a very simple mmappable archive used to
group multiple dictionaries together into groups: it is expected to
slowly go away and be replaced by other mechanisms, but right now it is
an important part of the file format, used to group dictionaries
containing types with conflicting definitions in different TUs with the
overarching dictionary used to store all other types. (Even when
archives go away, the 'libctf' API used to access them will remain, and
access the other mechanisms that replace it instead.)
The CTF dictionary consists of a "preamble", which does not vary
between versions of the CTF file format, and a "header" and some number
of "sections", which can vary between versions.
The rest of this specification describes the format of these
sections, first for the latest version of CTF, then for all earlier
versions supported by 'libctf': the earlier versions are defined in
terms of their differences from the next later one. We describe each
part of the format first by reproducing the C structure which defines
that part, then describing it at greater length in terms of file
offsets.
The description of the file format ends with a description of
relevant limits that apply to it. These limits can vary between file
format versions.
This document is quite young, so for now the C code in 'ctf.h' should
be presumed correct when this document conflicts with it.

1 CTF archives
**************
The CTF archive format maps names to CTF dictionaries. The names may
contain any character other than \0, but for now archives containing
slashes in the names may not extract correctly. It is possible to
insert multiple members with the same name, but these are quite hard to
access reliably (you have to iterate through all the members rather than
opening by name) so this is not recommended.
CTF archives are not themselves compressed: the constituent
components, CTF dictionaries, can be compressed. (*Note CTF header::).
CTF archives usually contain a collection of related dictionaries,
one parent and many children of that parent. CTF archives can have a
member with a "default name", '.ctf' (which can be represented as 'NULL'
in the API). If present, this member is usually the parent of all the
children, but it is possible for CTF producers to emit parents with
different names if they wish (usually for backward- compatibility
purposes).
'.ctf' sections in ELF objects consist of a single CTF dictionary
rather than an archive of dictionaries if and only if the section
contains no types with identical names but conflicting definitions: if
two conflicting definitions exist, the deduplicator will place the type
most commonly referred to by other types in the parent and will place
the other type in a child named after the translation unit it is found
in, and will emit a CTF archive containing both dictionaries instead of
a raw dictionary. All types that refer to such conflicting types are
also placed in the per-translation-unit child.
The definition of an archive in 'ctf.h' is as follows:
struct ctf_archive
{
uint64_t ctfa_magic;
uint64_t ctfa_model;
uint64_t ctfa_nfiles;
uint64_t ctfa_names;
uint64_t ctfa_ctfs;
};
typedef struct ctf_archive_modent
{
uint64_t name_offset;
uint64_t ctf_offset;
} ctf_archive_modent_t;
(Note one irregularity here: the 'ctf_archive_t' is not a typedef to
'struct ctf_archive', but a different typedef, private to 'libctf', so
that things that are not really archives can be made to appear as if
they were.)
All the above items are always in little-endian byte order,
regardless of the machine endianness.
The archive header has the following fields:
Offset Name Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'uint64_t ctfa_magic' The magic number for archives, 'CTFA_MAGIC':
0x8b47f2a4d7623eeb.
0x08 'uint64_t ctfa_model' The data model for this archive: an arbitrary integer
that serves no purpose but to be handed back by the
libctf API. *Note Data models::.
0x10 'uint64_t ctfa_nfiles' The number of CTF dictionaries in this archive.
0x18 'uint64_t ctfa_names' Offset of the name table, in bytes from the start of
the archive. The name table is an array of 'struct
ctf_archive_modent_t[ctfa_nfiles]'.
0x20 'uint64_t ctfa_ctfs' Offset of the CTF table. Each element starts with a
'uint64_t' size, followed by a CTF dictionary.
The array pointed to by 'ctfa_names' is an array of entries of
'ctf_archive_modent':
Offset Name Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'uint64_t name_offset' Offset of this name, in bytes from the start
of the archive.
0x08 'uint64_t ctf_offset' Offset of this CTF dictionary, in bytes from
the start of the archive.
The 'ctfa_names' array is sorted into ASCIIbetical order by name
(i.e. by the result of dereferencing the 'name_offset').
The archive file also contains a name table and a table of CTF
dictionaries: these are pointed to by the structures above. The name
table is a simple strtab which is not required to be sorted; the
dictionary array is described above in the entry for 'ctfa_ctfs'.
The relative order of these various parts is not defined, except that
the header naturally always comes first.

2 CTF dictionaries
******************
CTF dictionaries consist of a header, starting with a premable, and a
number of sections.
* Menu:

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: CTF Preamble, Next: CTF header, Up: CTF dictionaries
2.1 CTF Preamble
================
The preamble is the only part of the CTF dictionary whose format cannot
vary between versions. It is never compressed. It is correspondingly
simple:
typedef struct ctf_preamble
{
unsigned short ctp_magic;
unsigned char ctp_version;
unsigned char ctp_flags;
} ctf_preamble_t;
'#define's are provided under the names 'cth_magic', 'cth_version'
and 'cth_flags' to make the fields of the 'ctf_preamble_t' appear to be
part of the 'ctf_header_t', so consuming programs rarely need to
consider the existence of the preamble as a separate structure.
Offset Name Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'unsigned short ctp_magic' The magic number for CTF
dictionaries, 'CTF_MAGIC': 0xdff2.
0x02 'unsigned char ctp_version' The version number of this CTF
dictionary.
0x03 'ctp_flags' Flags for this CTF file.
*Note CTF file-wide flags::.
Every element of a dictionary must be naturally aligned unless
otherwise specified. (This restriction will be lifted in later
versions.)
CTF dictionaries are stored in the native endianness of the system
that generates them: the consumer (e.g., 'libctf') can detect whether to
endian-flip a CTF dictionary by inspecting the 'ctp_magic'. (If it
appears as 0xf2df, endian-flipping is needed.)
The version of the CTF dictionary can be determined by inspecting
'ctp_version'. The following versions are currently valid, and 'libctf'
can read all of them:
Version Number Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'CTF_VERSION_1' 1 First version, rare. Very similar to Solaris CTF.
'CTF_VERSION_1_UPGRADED_3' 2 First version, upgraded to v3 or higher and
written out again. Name may change. Very rare.
'CTF_VERSION_2' 3 Second version, with many range limits lifted.
'CTF_VERSION_3' 4 Third and current version, documented here.
This section documents 'CTF_VERSION_3'.
* Menu:
* CTF file-wide flags::

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: CTF file-wide flags, Up: CTF Preamble
2.1.1 CTF file-wide flags
-------------------------
The preamble contains bitflags in its 'ctp_flags' field that describe
various file-wide properties. Some of the flags are valid only for
particular file-format versions, which means the flags can be used to
fix file-format bugs. Consumers that see unknown flags should
accordingly assume that the dictionary is not comprehensible, and refuse
to open them.
The following flags are currently defined. Many are bug workarounds,
valid only in CTFv3, and will not be valid in any future versions: the
same values may be reused for other flags in v4+.
Flag Versions Value Meaning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'CTF_F_COMPRESS' All 0x1 Compressed with zlib
'CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO' 3 only 0x2 "New-format" func info section.
'CTF_F_IDXSORTED' 3+ 0x4 The index section is in sorted order
'CTF_F_DYNSTR' 3 only 0x8 The external strtab is in '.dynstr' and the
symtab used is '.dynsym'.
*Note The string section::
'CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO' and 'CTF_F_IDXSORTED' relate to the function info
and data object sections. *Note The symtypetab sections::.
Further flags (and further compression methods) wil be added in
future.

2.2 CTF header
==============
The CTF header is the first part of a CTF dictionary, including the
preamble. All parts of it other than the preamble (*note CTF
Preamble::) can vary between CTF file versions and are never compressed.
It contains things that apply to the dictionary as a whole, and a table
of the sections into which the rest of the dictionary is divided. The
sections tile the file: each section runs from the offset given until
the start of the next section. Only the last section cannot follow this
rule, so the header has a length for it instead.
All section offsets, here and in the rest of the CTF file, are
relative to the _end_ of the header. (This is annoyingly different to
how offsets in CTF archives are handled.)
This is the first structure to include offsets into the string table,
which are not straight references because CTF dictionaries can include
references into the ELF string table to save space, as well as into the
string table internal to the CTF dictionary. *Note The string section::
for more on these. Offset 0 is always the null string.
typedef struct ctf_header
{
ctf_preamble_t cth_preamble;
uint32_t cth_parlabel;
uint32_t cth_parname;
uint32_t cth_cuname;
uint32_t cth_lbloff;
uint32_t cth_objtoff;
uint32_t cth_funcoff;
uint32_t cth_objtidxoff;
uint32_t cth_funcidxoff;
uint32_t cth_varoff;
uint32_t cth_typeoff;
uint32_t cth_stroff;
uint32_t cth_strlen;
} ctf_header_t;
In detail:
Offset Name Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'ctf_preamble_t cth_preamble' The preamble (conceptually embedded in the header).
*Note CTF Preamble::
0x04 'uint32_t cth_parlabel' The parent label, if deduplication happened against
a specific label: a strtab offset.
*Note The label section::. Currently unused and
always 0, but may be used in future when semantics
are attached to the label section.
0x08 'uint32_t cth_parname' The name of the parent dictionary deduplicated
against: a strtab offset. Interpretation is up to
the consumer (usually a CTF archive member name).
0 (the null string) if this is not a child
dictionary.
0x1c 'uint32_t cth_cuname' The name of the compilation unit, for consumers
like GDB that want to know the name of CUs
associated with single CUs: a strtab offset. 0 if
this dictionary describes types from many CUs.
0x10 'uint32_t cth_lbloff' The offset of the label section, which tiles the
type space into named regions.
*Note The label section::.
0x14 'uint32_t cth_objtoff' The offset of the data object symtypetab section,
which maps ELF data symbols to types.
*Note The symtypetab sections::.
0x18 'uint32_t cth_funcoff' The offset of the function info symtypetab section,
which maps ELF function symbols to a return type
and arg types. *Note The symtypetab sections::.
0x1c 'uint32_t cth_objtidxoff' The offset of the object index section, which maps
ELF object symbols to entries in the data object
section. *Note The symtypetab sections::.
0x20 'uint32_t cth_funcidxoff' The offset of the function info index section,
which maps ELF function symbols to entries in the
function info section.
*Note The symtypetab sections::.
0x24 'uint32_t cth_varoff' The offset of the variable section, which maps
string names to types.
*Note The variable section::.
0x28 'uint32_t cth_typeoff' The offset of the type section, the core of CTF,
which describes types using variable-length array
elements. *Note The type section::.
0x2c 'uint32_t cth_stroff' The offset of the string section.
*Note The string section::.
0x30 'uint32_t cth_strlen' The length of the string section (not an offset!).
The CTF file ends at this point.
Everything from this point on (until the end of the file at
'cth_stroff' + 'cth_strlen') is compressed with zlib if 'CTF_F_COMPRESS'
is set in the preamble's 'ctp_flags'.

2.3 The type section
====================
This section is the most important section in CTF, describing all the
top-level types in the program. It consists of an array of type
structures, each of which describes a type of some "kind": each kind of
type has some amount of variable-length data associated with it (some
kinds have none). The amount of variable-length data associated with a
given type can be determined by inspecting the type, so the reading code
can walk through the types in sequence at opening time.
Each type structure is one of a set of overlapping structures in a
discriminated union of sorts: the variable-length data for each type
immediately follows the type's type structure. Here's the largest of
the overlapping structures, which is only needed for huge types and so
is very rarely seen:
typedef struct ctf_type
{
uint32_t ctt_name;
uint32_t ctt_info;
__extension__
union
{
uint32_t ctt_size;
uint32_t ctt_type;
};
uint32_t ctt_lsizehi;
uint32_t ctt_lsizelo;
} ctf_type_t;
Here's the much more common smaller form:
typedef struct ctf_stype
{
uint32_t ctt_name;
uint32_t ctt_info;
__extension__
union
{
uint32_t ctt_size;
uint32_t ctt_type;
};
} ctf_type_t;
If 'ctt_size' is the #define 'CTF_LSIZE_SENT', 0xffffffff, this type
is described by a 'ctf_type_t': otherwise, a 'ctf_stype_t'.
Here's what the fields mean:
Offset Name Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'uint32_t ctt_name' Strtab offset of the type name, if any (0 if none).
0x04 'uint32_t ctt_info' The "info word", containing information on the kind
of this type, its variable-length data and whether
it is visible to name lookup. See
*Note The info word::.
0x08 'uint32_t ctt_size' The size of this type, if this type is of a kind for
which a size needs to be recorded (constant-size
types don't need one). If this is 'CTF_LSIZE_SENT',
this type is a huge type described by 'ctf_type_t'.
0x08 'uint32_t ctt_type' The type this type refers to, if this type is of a
kind which refers to other types (like a pointer).
All such types are fixed-size, and no types that are
variable-size refer to other types, so 'ctt_size'
and 'ctt_type' overlap. All type kinds that use
'ctt_type' are described by 'ctf_stype_t', not
'ctf_type_t'. *Note Type indexes and type IDs::.
0x0c ('ctf_type_t' 'uint32_t ctt_lsizehi' The high 32 bits of the size of a very large type.
only) The 'CTF_TYPE_LSIZE' macro can be used to get a
64-bit size out of this field and the next one.
'CTF_SIZE_TO_LSIZE_HI' splits the 'ctt_lsizehi' out
of it again.
0x10 ('ctf_type_t' 'uint32_t ctt_lsizelo' The low 32 bits of the size of a very large type.
only) 'CTF_SIZE_TO_LSIZE_LO' splits the 'ctt_lsizelo' out
of a 64-bit size.
Two aspects of this need further explanation: the info word, and what
exactly a type ID is and how you determine it. (Information on the
various type-kind- dependent things, like whether 'ctt_size' or
'ctt_type' is used, is described in the section devoted to each kind.)

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: The info word, Next: Type indexes and type IDs, Up: The type section
2.3.1 The info word, ctt_info
-----------------------------
The info word is a bitfield split into three parts. From MSB to LSB:
Bit offset Name Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26-31 'kind' Type kind: *note Type kinds::.
25 'isroot' 1 if this type is visible to name lookup
0-24 'vlen' Length of variable-length data for this type (some kinds only).
The variable-length data directly follows the 'ctf_type_t' or
'ctf_stype_t'. This is a kind-dependent array length value,
not a length in bytes. Some kinds have no variable-length
data, or fixed-size variable-length data, and do not use this
value.
The most mysterious of these is undoubtedly 'isroot'. This indicates
whether types with names (nonzero 'ctt_name') are visible to name
lookup: if zero, this type is considered a "non-root type" and you can't
look it up by name at all. Multiple types with the same name in the
same C namespace (struct, union, enum, other) can exist in a single
dictionary, but only one of them may have a nonzero value for 'isroot'.
'libctf' validates this at open time and refuses to open dictionaries
that violate this constraint.
Historically, this feature was introduced for the encoding of
bitfields (*note Integer types::): for instance, int bitfields will all
be named 'int' with different widths or offsets, but only the full-width
one at offset zero is wanted when you look up the type named 'int'.
With the introduction of slices (*note Slices::) as a more general
bitfield encoding mechanism, this is less important, but we still use
non-root types to handle conflicts if the linker API is used to fuse
multiple translation units into one dictionary and those translation
units contain types with the same name and conflicting definitions. (We
do not discuss this further here, because the linker never does this:
only specialized type mergers do, like that used for the Linux kernel.
The libctf documentation will describe this in more detail.)
The 'CTF_TYPE_INFO' macro can be used to compose an info word from a
'kind', 'isroot', and 'vlen'; 'CTF_V2_INFO_KIND', 'CTF_V2_INFO_ISROOT'
and 'CTF_V2_INFO_VLEN' pick it apart again.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Type indexes and type IDs, Next: Type kinds, Prev: The info word, Up: The type section
2.3.2 Type indexes and type IDs
-------------------------------
Types are referred to within the CTF file via "type IDs". A type ID is
a number from 0 to 2^32, from a space divided in half. Types 2^31-1 and
below are in the "parent range": these IDs are used for dictionaries
that have not had any other dictionary 'ctf_import'ed into it as a
parent. Both completely standalone dictionaries and parent dictionaries
with children hanging off them have types in this range. Types 2^31 and
above are in the "child range": only types in child dictionaries are in
this range.
These IDs appear in 'ctf_type_t.ctt_type' (*note The type section::),
but the types themselves have no visible ID: quite intentionally,
because adding an ID uses space, and every ID is different so they don't
compress well. The IDs are implicit: at open time, the consumer walks
through the entire type section and counts the types in the type
section. The type section is an array of variable-length elements, so
each entry could be considered as having an index, starting from 1. We
count these indexes and associate each with its corresponding
'ctf_type_t' or 'ctf_stype_t'.
Lookups of types with IDs in the parent space look in the parent
dictionary if this dictionary has one associated with it; lookups of
types with IDs in the child space error out if the dictionary does not
have a parent, and otherwise convert the ID into an index by shaving off
the top bit and look up the index in the child.
These properties mean that the same dictionary can be used as a
parent of child dictionaries and can also be used directly with no
children at all, but a dictionary created as a child dictionary must
always be associated with a parent -- usually, the same parent --
because its references to its own types have the high bit turned on and
this is only flipped off again if this is a child dictionary. (This is
not a problem, because if you _don't_ associate the child with a parent,
any references within it to its parent types will fail, and there are
almost certain to be many such references, or why is it a child at all?)
This does mean that consumers should keep a close eye on the
distinction between type IDs and type indexes: if you mix them up,
everything will appear to work as long as you're only using parent
dictionaries or standalone dictionaries, but as soon as you start using
children, everything will fail horribly.
Type index zero, and type ID zero, are used to indicate that this
type cannot be represented in CTF as currently constituted: they are
emitted by the compiler, but all type chains that terminate in the
unknown type are erased at link time (structure fields that use them
just vanish, etc). So you will probably never see a use of type zero
outside the symtypetab sections, where they serve as sentinels of sorts,
to indicate symbols with no associated type.
The macros 'CTF_V2_TYPE_TO_INDEX' and 'CTF_V2_INDEX_TO_TYPE' may help
in translation between types and indexes: 'CTF_V2_TYPE_ISPARENT' and
'CTF_V2_TYPE_ISCHILD' can be used to tell whether a given ID is in the
parent or child range.
It is quite possible and indeed common for type IDs to point forward
in the dictionary, as well as backward.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Type kinds, Next: Integer types, Prev: Type indexes and type IDs, Up: The type section
2.3.3 Type kinds
----------------
Every type in CTF is of some "kind". Each kind is some variety of C
type: all structures are a single kind, as are all unions, all pointers,
all arrays, all integers regardless of their bitfield width, etc. The
kind of a type is given in the 'kind' field of the 'ctt_info' word
(*note The info word::).
The space of type kinds is only a quarter full so far, so there is
plenty of room for expansion. It is likely that in future versions of
the file format, types with smaller kinds will be more efficiently
encoded than types with larger kinds, so their numerical value will
actually start to matter in future. (So these IDs will probably change
their numerical values in a later release of this format, to move more
frequently-used kinds like structures and cv-quals towards the top of
the space, and move rarely-used kinds like integers downwards. Yes,
integers are rare: how many kinds of 'int' are there in a program?
They're just very frequently _referenced_.)
Here's the set of kinds so far. Each kind has a '#define' associated
with it, also given here.
Kind Macro Purpose
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 'CTF_K_UNKNOWN' Indicates a type that cannot be represented in CTF, or that
is being skipped. It is very similar to type ID 0, except
that you can have _multiple_, distinct types of kind
'CTF_K_UNKNOWN'.
1 'CTF_K_INTEGER' An integer type. *Note Integer types::.
2 'CTF_K_FLOAT' A floating-point type. *Note Floating-point types::.
3 'CTF_K_POINTER' A pointer. *Note Pointers typedefs and cvr-quals::.
4 'CTF_K_ARRAY' An array. *Note Arrays::.
5 'CTF_K_FUNCTION' A function pointer. *Note Function pointers::.
6 'CTF_K_STRUCT' A structure. *Note Structs and unions::.
7 'CTF_K_UNION' A union. *Note Structs and unions::.
8 'CTF_K_ENUM' An enumerated type. *Note Enums::.
9 'CTF_K_FORWARD' A forward. *Note Forward declarations::.
10 'CTF_K_TYPEDEF' A typedef. *Note Pointers typedefs and cvr-quals::.

others.

2.3.4 Integer types
-------------------
Integral types are all represented as types of kind 'CTF_K_INTEGER'.
These types fill out 'ctt_size' in the 'ctf_stype_t' with the size in
bytes of the integral type in question. They are always represented by
'ctf_stype_t', never 'ctf_type_t'. Their variable-length data is one
'uint32_t' in length: 'vlen' in the info word should be disregarded and
is always zero.
The variable-length data for integers has multiple items packed into
it much like the info word does.
Bit offset Name Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24-31 Encoding The desired display representation of this integer. You
can extract this field with the 'CTF_INT_ENCODING'
macro. See below.
16-23 Offset The offset of this integral type in bits from the start
of its enclosing structure field, adjusted for
endianness: *note Structs and unions::. You can extract
this field with the 'CTF_INT_OFFSET' macro.
0-15 Bit-width The width of this integral type in bits. You can
extract this field with the 'CTF_INT_BITS' macro.
If you choose, bitfields can be represented using the things above as
a sort of integral type with the 'isroot' bit flipped off and the offset
and bits values set in the vlen word: you can populate it with the
'CTF_INT_DATA' macro. (But it may be more convenient to represent them
using slices of a full-width integer: *note Slices::.)
Integers that are bitfields usually have a 'ctt_size' rounded up to
the nearest power of two in bytes, for natural alignment (e.g. a 17-bit
integer would have a 'ctt_size' of 4). However, not all types are
naturally aligned on all architectures: packed structures may in theory
use integral bitfields with different 'ctt_size', though this is rarely
observed.
The "encoding" for integers is a bit-field comprised of the values
below, which consumers can use to decide how to display values of this
type:
Offset Name Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x01 'CTF_INT_SIGNED' If set, this is a signed int: if false, unsigned.
0x02 'CTF_INT_CHAR' If set, this is a char type. It is platform-dependent whether unadorned
'char' is signed or not: the 'CTF_CHAR' macro produces an integral type
suitable for the definition of 'char' on this platform.
0x04 'CTF_INT_BOOL' If set, this is a boolean type. (It is theoretically possible to turn
this and 'CTF_INT_CHAR' on at the same time, but it is not clear what
this would mean.)
0x08 'CTF_INT_VARARGS' If set, this is a varargs-promoted value in a K&R function definition.
This is not currently produced or consumed by anything that we know of:
it is set aside for future use.
The GCC "'Complex int'" and fixed-point extensions are not yet
supported: references to such types will be emitted as type 0.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Floating-point types, Next: Slices, Prev: Integer types, Up: The type section
2.3.5 Floating-point types
--------------------------
Floating-point types are all represented as types of kind 'CTF_K_FLOAT'.
Like integers, These types fill out 'ctt_size' in the 'ctf_stype_t' with
the size in bytes of the floating-point type in question. They are
always represented by 'ctf_stype_t', never 'ctf_type_t'.
This part of CTF shows many rough edges in the more obscure corners
of floating-point handling, and is likely to change in format v4.
The variable-length data for floats has multiple items packed into it
just like integers do:
Bit offset Name Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24-31 Encoding The desired display representation of this float. You can
extract this field with the 'CTF_FP_ENCODING' macro. See below.
16-23 Offset The offset of this floating-point type in bits from the start of
its enclosing structure field, adjusted for endianness:
*note Structs and unions::. You can extract this field with the
'CTF_FP_OFFSET' macro.
0-15 Bit-width The width of this floating-point type in bits. You can extract
this field with the 'CTF_FP_BITS' macro.
The purpose of the floating-point offset and bit-width is somewhat
opaque, since there are no such things as floating-point bitfields in C:
the bit-width should be filled out with the full width of the type in
bits, and the offset should always be zero. It is likely that these
fields will go away in the future. As with integers, you can use
'CTF_FP_DATA' to assemble one of these vlen items from its component
parts.
The "encoding" for floats is not a bitfield but a simple value
indicating the display representation. Many of these are unused, relate
to Solaris-specific compiler extensions, and will be recycled in future:
some are unused and will become used in future.
Offset Name Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 'CTF_FP_SINGLE' This is a single-precision IEEE 754 'float'.
2 'CTF_FP_DOUBLE' This is a double-precision IEEE 754 'double'.
3 'CTF_FP_CPLX' This is a 'Complex float'.
4 'CTF_FP_DCPLX' This is a 'Complex double'.
5 'CTF_FP_LDCPLX' This is a 'Complex long double'.
6 'CTF_FP_LDOUBLE' This is a 'long double'.
7 'CTF_FP_INTRVL' This is a 'float' interval type, a Solaris-specific extension.
Unused: will be recycled.
8 'CTF_FP_DINTRVL' This is a 'double' interval type, a Solaris-specific
extension. Unused: will be recycled.
9 'CTF_FP_LDINTRVL' This is a 'long double' interval type, a Solaris-specific
extension. Unused: will be recycled.
10 'CTF_FP_IMAGRY' This is a the imaginary part of a 'Complex float'. Not
currently generated. May change.
11 'CTF_FP_DIMAGRY' This is a the imaginary part of a 'Complex double'. Not
currently generated. May change.
12 'CTF_FP_LDIMAGRY' This is a the imaginary part of a 'Complex long double'. Not
currently generated. May change.
The use of the complex floating-point encodings is obscure: it is
possible that 'CTF_FP_CPLX' is meant to be used for only the real part
of complex types, and 'CTF_FP_IMAGRY' et al for the imaginary part - but
for now, we are emitting 'CTF_FP_CPLX' to cover the entire type, with no
way to get at its constituent parts. There appear to be no uses of
these encodings anywhere, so they are quite likely to change
incompatibly in future.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Slices, Next: Pointers typedefs and cvr-quals, Prev: Floating-point types, Up: The type section
2.3.6 Slices
------------
Slices, with kind 'CTF_K_SLICE', are an unusual CTF construct: they do
not directly correspond to any C type, but are a way to model other
types in a more convenient fashion for CTF generators.
A slice is like a pointer or other reference type in that they are
always represented by 'ctf_stype_t': but unlike pointers and other
reference types, they populate the 'ctt_size' field just like integral
types do, and come with an attached encoding and transform the encoding
of the underlying type. The underlying type is described in the
variable-length data, similarly to structure and union fields: see
below. Requests for the type size should also chase down to the
referenced type.
Slices are always nameless: 'ctt_name' is always zero for them.
(The 'libctf' API behaviour is unusual as well, and justifies the
existence of slices: 'ctf_type_kind' never returns 'CTF_K_SLICE' but
always the underlying type kind, so that consumers never need to know
about slices: they can tell if an apparent integer is actually a slice
if they need to by calling 'ctf_type_reference', which will uniquely
return the underlying integral type rather than erroring out with
'ECTF_NOTREF' if this is actually a slice. So slices act just like an
integer with an encoding, but more closely mirror DWARF and other
debugging information formats by allowing CTF file creators to represent
a bitfield as a slice of an underlying integral type.)
The vlen in the info word for a slice should be ignored and is always
zero. The variable-length data for a slice is a single 'ctf_slice_t':
typedef struct ctf_slice
{
uint32_t cts_type;
unsigned short cts_offset;
unsigned short cts_bits;
} ctf_slice_t;
Offset Name Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x0 'uint32_t cts_type' The type this slice is a slice of. Must be an
integral type (or a floating-point type, but
this nonsensical option will go away in v4.)
0x4 'unsigned short cts_offset' The offset of this integral type in bits from
the start of its enclosing structure field,
adjusted for endianness:
*note Structs and unions::. Identical
semantics to the 'CTF_INT_OFFSET' field:
*note Integer types::. This field is much too
long, because the maximum possible offset of
an integral type would easily fit in a char:
this field is bigger just for the sake of
alignment. This will change in v4.
0x6 'unsigned short cts_bits' The bit-width of this integral type.
Identical semantics to the 'CTF_INT_BITS'
field: *note Integer types::. As above, this
field is really too large and will shrink in
v4.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Pointers typedefs and cvr-quals, Next: Arrays, Prev: Slices, Up: The type section
2.3.7 Pointers, typedefs, and cvr-quals
---------------------------------------
Pointers, 'typedef's, and 'const', 'volatile' and 'restrict' qualifiers
are represented identically except for their type kind (though they may
be treated differently by consuming libraries like 'libctf', since
pointers affect assignment-compatibility in ways cvr-quals do not, and
they may have different alignment requirements, etc).
All of these are represented by 'ctf_stype_t', have no variable data
at all, and populate 'ctt_type' with the type ID of the type they point
to. These types can stack: a 'CTF_K_RESTRICT' can point to a
'CTF_K_CONST' which can point to a 'CTF_K_POINTER' etc.
They are all unnamed: 'ctt_name' is 0.
The size of 'CTF_K_POINTER' is derived from the data model (*note
Data models::), i.e. in practice, from the target machine ABI, and is
not explicitly represented. The size of other kinds in this set should
be determined by chasing ctf_types as necessary until a
non-typedef/const/volatile/restrict is found, and using that.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Arrays, Next: Function pointers, Prev: Pointers typedefs and cvr-quals, Up: The type section
2.3.8 Arrays
------------
Arrays are encoded as types of kind 'CTF_K_ARRAY' in a 'ctf_stype_t'.
Both size and kind for arrays are zero. The variable-length data is a
'ctf_array_t': 'vlen' in the info word should be disregarded and is
always zero.
typedef struct ctf_array
{
uint32_t cta_contents;
uint32_t cta_index;
uint32_t cta_nelems;
} ctf_array_t;
Offset Name Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x0 'uint32_t cta_contents' The type of the array elements: a type ID.
0x4 'uint32_t cta_index' The type of the array index: a type ID of an
integral type. If this is a variable-length
array, the index type ID will be 0 (but the
actual index type of this array is probably
'int'). Probably redundant and may be
dropped in v4.
0x8 'uint32_t cta_nelems' The number of array elements. 0 for VLAs,
and also for the historical variety of VLA
which has explicit zero dimensions (which
will have a nonzero 'cta_index'.)
The size of an array can be computed by simple multiplication of the
size of the 'cta_contents' type by the 'cta_nelems'.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Function pointers, Next: Enums, Prev: Arrays, Up: The type section
2.3.9 Function pointers
-----------------------
Function pointers are explicitly represented in the CTF type section by
a type of kind 'CTF_K_FUNCTION', always encoded with a 'ctf_stype_t'.
The 'ctt_type' is the function return type ID. The 'vlen' in the info
word is the number of arguments, each of which is a type ID, a
'uint32_t': if the last argument is 0, this is a varargs function and
the number of arguments is one less than indicated by the vlen.
If the number of arguments is odd, a single 'uint32_t' of padding is
inserted to maintain alignment.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Enums, Next: Structs and unions, Prev: Function pointers, Up: The type section
2.3.10 Enums
------------
Enumerated types are represented as types of kind 'CTF_K_ENUM' in a
'ctf_stype_t'. The 'ctt_size' is always the size of an int from the
data model (enum bitfields are implemented via slices). The 'vlen' is a
count of enumerations, each of which is represented by a 'ctf_enum_t' in
the vlen:
typedef struct ctf_enum
{
uint32_t cte_name;
int32_t cte_value;
} ctf_enum_t;
Offset Name Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x0 'uint32_t cte_name' Strtab offset of the enumeration name.
Must not be 0.
0x4 'int32_t cte_value' The enumeration value.
Enumeration values larger than 2^32 are not yet supported and are
omitted from the enumeration. (v4 will lift this restriction by
encoding the value differently.)
Forward declarations of enums are not implemented with this kind:
*note Forward declarations::.
Enumerated type names, as usual in C, go into their own namespace,
and do not conflict with non-enums, structs, or unions with the same
name.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Structs and unions, Next: Forward declarations, Prev: Enums, Up: The type section
2.3.11 Structs and unions
-------------------------
Structures and unions are represnted as types of kind 'CTF_K_STRUCT' and
'CTF_K_UNION': their representation is otherwise identical, and it is
perfectly allowed for "structs" to contain overlapping fields etc, so we
will treat them together for the rest of this section.
They fill out 'ctt_size', and use 'ctf_type_t' in preference to
'ctf_stype_t' if the structure size is greater than 'CTF_MAX_SIZE'
(0xfffffffe).
The vlen for structures and unions is a count of structure fields,
but the type used to represent a structure field (and thus the size of
the variable-length array element representing the type) depends on the
size of the structure: truly huge structures, greater than
'CTF_LSTRUCT_THRESH' bytes in length, use a different type.
('CTF_LSTRUCT_THRESH' is 536870912, so such structures are vanishingly
rare: in v4, this representation will change somewhat for greater
compactness. It's inherited from v1, where the limits were much lower.)
Most structures can get away with using 'ctf_member_t':
typedef struct ctf_member_v2
{
uint32_t ctm_name;
uint32_t ctm_offset;
uint32_t ctm_type;
} ctf_member_t;
Huge structures that are represented by 'ctf_type_t' rather than
'ctf_stype_t' have to use 'ctf_lmember_t', which splits the offset as
'ctf_type_t' splits the size:
typedef struct ctf_lmember_v2
{
uint32_t ctlm_name;
uint32_t ctlm_offsethi;
uint32_t ctlm_type;
uint32_t ctlm_offsetlo;
} ctf_lmember_t;
Here's what the fields of 'ctf_member' mean:
Offset Name Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'uint32_t ctm_name' Strtab offset of the field name.
0x04 'uint32_t ctm_offset' The offset of this field _in bits_. (Usually, for bitfields, this is
machine-word-aligned and the individual field has an offset in bits,
but the format allows for the offset to be encoded in bits here.)
0x08 'uint32_t ctm_type' The type ID of the type of the field.
Here's what the fields of the very similar 'ctf_lmember' mean:
Offset Name Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'uint32_t ctlm_name' Strtab offset of the field name.
0x04 'uint32_t ctlm_offsethi' The high 32 bits of the offset of this field in bits.
0x08 'uint32_t ctlm_type' The type ID of the type of the field.
0x0c 'uint32_t ctlm_offsetlo' The low 32 bits of the offset of this field in bits.
Macros 'CTF_LMEM_OFFSET', 'CTF_OFFSET_TO_LMEMHI' and
'CTF_OFFSET_TO_LMEMLO' serve to extract and install the values of the
'ctlm_offset' fields, much as with the split size fields in
'ctf_type_t'.
Unnamed structure and union fields are simply implemented by
collapsing the unnamed field's members into the containing structure or
union: this does mean that a structure containing an unnamed union can
end up being a "structure" with multiple members at the same offset. (A
future format revision may collapse 'CTF_K_STRUCT' and 'CTF_K_UNION'
into the same kind and decide among them based on whether their members
do in fact overlap.)
Structure and union type names, as usual in C, go into their own
namespace, just as enum type names do.
Forward declarations of structures and unions are not implemented
with this kind: *note Forward declarations::.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Forward declarations, Prev: Structs and unions, Up: The type section
2.3.12 Forward declarations
---------------------------
When the compiler encounters a forward declaration of a struct, union,
or enum, it emits a type of kind 'CTF_K_FORWARD'. If it later
encounters a non- forward declaration of the same thing, it marks the
forward as non-root-visible: before link time, therefore,
non-root-visible forwards indicate that a non-forward is coming.
After link time, forwards are fused with their corresponding
non-forwards by the deduplicator where possible. They are kept if there
is no non-forward definition (maybe it's not visible from any TU at all)
or if 'multiple' conflicting structures with the same name might match
it. Otherwise, all other forwards are converted to structures, unions,
or enums as appropriate, even across TUs if only one structure could
correspond to the forward (after all, all types across all TUs land in
the same dictionary unless they conflict, so promoting forwards to their
concrete type seems most helpful).
A forward has a rather strange representation: it is encoded with a
'ctf_stype_t' but the 'ctt_type' is populated not with a type (if it's a
forward, we don't have an underlying type yet: if we did, we'd have
promoted it and this wouldn't be a forward any more) but with the 'kind'
of the forward. This means that we can distinguish forwards to structs,
enums and unions reliably and ensure they land in the appropriate
namespace even before the actual struct, union or enum is found.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: The symtypetab sections, Next: The variable section, Prev: The type section, Up: CTF dictionaries
2.4 The symtypetab sections
===========================
These are two very simple sections with identical formats, used by
consumers to map from ELF function and data symbols directly to their
types. So they are usually populated only in CTF sections that are
embedded in ELF objects.
Their format is very simple: an array of type IDs. Which symbol each
type ID corresponds to depends on whether the optional _index section_
associated with this symtypetab section has any content.
If the index section is nonempty, it is an array of 'uint32_t' string
table offsets, each giving the name of the symbol whose type is at the
same offset in the corresponding non-index section: users can look up
symbols in such a table by name. The index section and corresponding
symtypetab section is usually ASCIIbetically sorted (indicated by the
'CTF_F_IDXSORTED' flag in the header): if it's sorted, it can be
bsearched for a symbol name rather than having to use a slower linear
search.
If the data object index section is empty, the entries in the data
object and function info sections are associated 1:1 with ELF symbols of
type 'STT_OBJECT' (for data object) or 'STT_FUNC' (for function info)
with a nonzero value: the linker shuffles the symtypetab sections to
correspond with the order of the symbols in the ELF file. Symbols with
no name, undefined symbols and symbols named "'_START_'" and "'_END_'"
are skipped and never appear in either section. Symbols that have no
corresponding type are represented by type ID 0. The section may have
fewer entries than the symbol table, in which case no later entries have
associated types. This format is more compact than an indexed form if
most entries have types (since there is no need to record any symbol
names), but if the producer and consumer disagree even slightly about
which symbols are omitted, the types of all further symbols will be
wrong!
The compiler always emits indexed symtypetab tables, because there is
no symbol table yet. The linker will always have to read them all in
and always works through them from start to end, so there is no benefit
having the compiler sort them either. The linker (actually, 'libctf''s
linking machinery) will automatically sort unsorted indexed sections,
and convert indexed sections that contain a lot of pads into the more
compact, unindexed form.
If child dicts are in use, only symbols that use types actually
mentioned in the child appear in the child's symtypetab: symbols that
use only types in the parent appear in the parent's symtypetab instead.
So the child's symtypetab will almost always be very sparse, and thus
will usually use the indexed form even in fully linked objects. (It is,
of course, impossible for symbols to exist that use types from multiple
child dicts at once, since it's impossible to declare a function in C
that uses types that are only visible in two different, disjoint
translation units.)

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: The variable section, Next: The label section, Prev: The symtypetab sections, Up: CTF dictionaries
2.5 The variable section
========================
The variable section is a simple array mapping names (strtab entries) to
type IDs, intended to provide a replacement for the data object section
in dynamic situations in which there is no static ELF strtab but the
consumer instead hands back names. The section is sorted into
ASCIIbetical order by name for rapid lookup, like the CTF archive name
table.
The section is an array of these structures:
typedef struct ctf_varent
{
uint32_t ctv_name;
uint32_t ctv_type;
} ctf_varent_t;
Offset Name Description
-----------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'uint32_t ctv_name' Strtab offset of the name
0x04 'uint32_t ctv_type' Type ID of this type
There is no analogue of the function info section yet: v4 will
probably drop this section in favour of a way to put both indexed (thus,
named) and nonindexed symbols into the symtypetab sections at the same
time.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: The label section, Next: The string section, Prev: The variable section, Up: CTF dictionaries
2.6 The label section
=====================
The label section is a currently-unused facility allowing the tiling of
the type space with names taken from the strtab. The section is an
array of these structures:
typedef struct ctf_lblent
{
uint32_t ctl_label;
uint32_t ctl_type;
} ctf_lblent_t;
Offset Name Description
-------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 'uint32_t ctl_label' Strtab offset of the label
0x04 'uint32_t ctl_type' Type ID of the last type
covered by this label
Semantics will be attached to labels soon, probably in v4 (the plan
is to use them to allow multiple disjoint namespaces in a single CTF
file, removing many uses of CTF archives, in particular in the '.ctf'
section in ELF objects).

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: The string section, Next: Data models, Prev: The label section, Up: CTF dictionaries
2.7 The string section
======================
This section is a simple ELF-format strtab, starting with a zero byte
(thus ensuring that the string with offset 0 is the null string, as
assumed elsewhere in this spec). The strtab is usually ASCIIbetically
sorted to somewhat improve compression efficiency.
Where the strtab is unusual is the _references_ to it. CTF has two
string tables, the internal strtab and an external strtab associated
with the CTF dictionary at open time: usually, this is the ELF dynamic
strtab ('.dynstr') of a CTF dictionary embedded in an ELF file. We
distinguish between these strtabs by the most significant bit, bit 31,
of the 32-bit strtab references: if it is 0, the offset is in the
internal strtab: if 1, the offset is in the external strtab.
There is a bug workaround in this area: in format v3 (the first
version to have working support for external strtabs), the external
strtab is '.strtab' unless the 'CTF_F_DYNSTR' flag is set on the
dictionary (*note CTF file-wide flags::). Format v4 will introduce a
header field that explicitly names the external strtab, making this flag
unnecessary.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Data models, Next: Limits of CTF, Prev: The string section, Up: CTF dictionaries
2.8 Data models
===============
The data model is a simple integer which indicates the ABI in use on
this platform. Right now, it is very simple, distinguishing only
between 32- and 64-bit types: a model of 1 indicates ILP32, 2 indicats
LP64. The mapping from ABI integer to type sizes is hardwired into
'libctf': currently, we use this to hardwire the size of pointers,
function pointers, and enumerated types,
This is a very kludgy corner of CTF and will probably be replaced
with explicit header fields to record this sort of thing in future.

File: ctf-spec.info, Node: Limits of CTF, Prev: Data models, Up: CTF dictionaries
2.9 Limits of CTF
=================
The following limits are imposed by various aspects of CTF version 3:
'CTF_MAX_TYPE'
Maximum type identifier (maximum number of types accessible with
parent and child containers in use): 0xfffffffe
'CTF_MAX_PTYPE'
Maximum type identifier in a parent dictioanry: maximum number of
types in any one dictionary: 0x7fffffff
'CTF_MAX_NAME'
Maximum offset into a string table: 0x7fffffff
'CTF_MAX_VLEN'
Maximum number of members in a struct, union, or enum: maximum
number of function args: 0xffffff
'CTF_MAX_SIZE'
Maximum size of a 'ctf_stype_t' in bytes before we fall back to
'ctf_type_t': 0xfffffffe bytes
Other maxima without associated macros:
* Maximum value of an enumerated type: 2^32
* Maximum size of an array element: 2^32
These maxima are generally considered to be too low, because C
programs can and do exceed them: they will be lifted in format v4.
