            Bug ID: 24702
           Summary: objdump: use STT_SECTION symbol in the symbolizer
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.33 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: maskray at google dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

STT_SECTION symbols are not used to symbolize addresses in objdump -d output,
but that will be useful when the relevant symbols are missing.

e.g. In a typical disassembly listing of the .plt section in an x86-64 program:

Disassembly of section .plt:

00000000002011f0 <printf@plt-0x10>:
                  ^^^^^^^^ it would be nice to symbolize this as: .plt
  2011f0:       ff 35 22 1e 00 00       pushq  0x1e22(%rip)        # 203018
<__TMC_END__+0x8>
  2011f6:       ff 25 24 1e 00 00       jmpq   *0x1e24(%rip)        # 203020
<__TMC_END__+0x10>
  2011fc:       0f 1f 40 00             nopl   0x0(%rax)

0000000000201200 <printf@plt>:
  201200:       ff 25 22 1e 00 00       jmpq   *0x1e22(%rip)        # 203028
<printf@GLIBC_2.2.5>
  201206:       68 00 00 00 00          pushq  $0x0
  20120b:       e9 e0 ff ff ff          jmpq   2011f0 <_fini+0x14>
                                                       ^^^^ if there is a
symbol with a greater address than .plt, this may be symbolized as: foo-0x34
                                                       ^^^^ In any case, jmpq
2011f0 <.plt> will look better
