I do that in some of my personal code, but then all the calls to the
functions tend to be:
e.ehdr_shoff(..); or e->ehdr_shoff(..);
instead of simply having:
ehdr_shoff(..);
Hmm, if the structure is global, I guess then we could just have the helper
functions use the global variable. But then, instead of having:
static int (*compare_extable)(const void *a, const void *b);
static uint64_t (*ehdr_shoff)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
static uint16_t (*ehdr_shstrndx)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
static uint16_t (*ehdr_shentsize)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
static uint16_t (*ehdr_shnum)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
static uint64_t (*shdr_addr)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
static uint64_t (*shdr_offset)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
static uint64_t (*shdr_size)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
static uint64_t (*shdr_entsize)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
static uint32_t (*shdr_link)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
static uint32_t (*shdr_name)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
static uint32_t (*shdr_type)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
static uint8_t (*sym_type)(Elf_Sym *sym);
static uint32_t (*sym_name)(Elf_Sym *sym);
static uint64_t (*sym_value)(Elf_Sym *sym);
static uint16_t (*sym_shndx)(Elf_Sym *sym);
static uint64_t (*rela_offset)(Elf_Rela *rela);
static uint64_t (*rela_info)(Elf_Rela *rela);
static uint64_t (*rela_addend)(Elf_Rela *rela);
static void (*rela_write_addend)(Elf_Rela *rela, uint64_t val);
case ELFCLASS32:
compare_extable = compare_extable_32;
ehdr_shoff = ehdr32_shoff;
ehdr_shentsize = ehdr32_shentsize;
ehdr_shstrndx = ehdr32_shstrndx;
ehdr_shnum = ehdr32_shnum;
shdr_addr = shdr32_addr;
shdr_offset = shdr32_offset;
shdr_link = shdr32_link;
shdr_size = shdr32_size;
shdr_name = shdr32_name;
shdr_type = shdr32_type;
shdr_entsize = shdr32_entsize;
sym_type = sym32_type;
sym_name = sym32_name;
sym_value = sym32_value;
sym_shndx = sym32_shndx;
rela_offset = rela32_offset;
rela_info = rela32_info;
rela_addend = rela32_addend;
rela_write_addend = rela32_write_addend;
long_size = 4;
extable_ent_size = 8;
break;
case ELFCLASS64:
compare_extable = compare_extable_64;
ehdr_shoff = ehdr64_shoff;
ehdr_shentsize = ehdr64_shentsize;
ehdr_shstrndx = ehdr64_shstrndx;
ehdr_shnum = ehdr64_shnum;
shdr_addr = shdr64_addr;
shdr_offset = shdr64_offset;
shdr_link = shdr64_link;
shdr_size = shdr64_size;
shdr_name = shdr64_name;
shdr_type = shdr64_type;
shdr_entsize = shdr64_entsize;
sym_type = sym64_type;
sym_name = sym64_name;
sym_value = sym64_value;
sym_shndx = sym64_shndx;
rela_offset = rela64_offset;
rela_info = rela64_info;
rela_addend = rela64_addend;
rela_write_addend = rela64_write_addend;
long_size = 8;

We would have:
static struct elf_funcs {
int (*compare_extable)(const void *a, const void *b);
uint64_t (*ehdr_shoff)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
uint16_t (*ehdr_shstrndx)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
uint16_t (*ehdr_shentsize)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
uint16_t (*ehdr_shnum)(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr);
uint64_t (*shdr_addr)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
uint64_t (*shdr_offset)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
uint64_t (*shdr_size)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
uint64_t (*shdr_entsize)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
uint32_t (*shdr_link)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
uint32_t (*shdr_name)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
uint32_t (*shdr_type)(Elf_Shdr *shdr);
uint8_t (*sym_type)(Elf_Sym *sym);
uint32_t (*sym_name)(Elf_Sym *sym);
uint64_t (*sym_value)(Elf_Sym *sym);
uint16_t (*sym_shndx)(Elf_Sym *sym);
} e;
// Hmm, I could add the helper function into the macros:
#define EHDR_HALF(fn_name) \
static uint16_t ehdr64_##fn_name(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr) \
{ \
return r2(&ehdr->e64.e_##fn_name); \
} \
\
static uint16_t ehdr32_##fn_name(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr) \
{ \
return r2(&ehdr->e32.e_##fn_name); \
} \
\
static uint16 ehdr_##fn_name(Elf_Ehdr *ehdr) \
{ \
return e.ehdr_##fn_name(ehdr); \
}
[..]
case ELFCLASS32: {
struct elf_funcs efuncs = {
.compare_extable = compare_extable_32,
.ehdr_shoff = ehdr32_shoff,
.ehdr_shentsize = ehdr32_shentsize,
[..]
};
e = efuncs;
long_size = 4;
extable_ent_size = 8;
}
break;
case ELFCLASS64: {
struct elf_funcs efuncs = {
.compare_extable = compare_extable_64,

long_size = 8;
extable_ent_size = 16;

break;
Which would give me this patch on top of this:
