[PATCH] nm size/value output fixes.

[Elias Athanasopoulos <eathan at otenet dot gr>]

Hi,

This patch is not final, it is supposed to demostrate my thoughts
regarding some modifications to nm(1) in order to output the value
and the size of the symbols when the --size-sort is used.

Right now, nm outputs the size of the symbol in the value field, which
is not so elegant. You can test this patch using the sysv format to
see the new functionality:

 % ./nm-new --size-sort -fsysv  ~/foo.o
 
Name                  Value   Class        Type         Size   Line  Section

symbol_one          |00000000|   R  |                  |00000004|     |
symbol_two          |00000004|   R  |                  |00000008|     |
main                |00000028|   T  |                  |0000001c|     |
foo                 |00000000|   T  |                  |00000044|     |

Of course, there are more to be done. I would like to have a code review
from the maintainers, in order to proceed and change the other formats,
too, which, using my patch, are misfunctional.

Elias
