Greetings,

Im currently trying to fix a strange behavior of objcopy, which sometimes generates invalid output binary image with 0x4 byte shift.

I found this issue because this shift was affecting my __init_array_start__ table (which is indeed pointing to right address in *.axf file, but after shift in binary file, its payload is gets corrupted - 1 pointer is 0x4 before desired table, and last item becomes null) - hard debugging week unfortunately :)

Here are the dumps produced by readelf and xxd:

Orginal __init_array_start__ symbol from *.axf file (symbol point to 0x00085a80)

Valid code payload from *.axf file (note that first entry is at correct 0x00085a80 address)

Invalid payload from *.bin file (note that first entry is at invalid 0x00085a7c address)

Im converting *.axf to *.bin with:

Code:
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary binary/executable.axf binary/executable.bin
Is it a bug, or im missing something ?



Best,

Ernest
