COFF Meaning and
Definition
-
COFF stands for Common Object File Format, which is an object file format used by various operating systems, compilers, and linkers. It is a standard binary format for storing compiled code, data, and symbols. COFF files are typically generated during the compilation process and serve as intermediate files that contain machine code instructions and relocation information.
COFF files store executable or linker-generated data in a structured manner, allowing for efficient loading, linking, and debugging of programs. They typically contain sections such as code, data, symbol tables, relocation information, and debugging information. The code section stores the actual machine code instructions generated by the compiler, while the data section holds initialized data objects.
The symbol tables within COFF files provide information about the functions, variables, and other symbols defined within the code. This allows for proper linking and resolving of references to symbols during the linking process. Additionally, relocation information ensures that the code and data sections are placed correctly in memory when the program is loaded.
COFF files can be manipulated by various tools and utilities, including compilers, linkers, debuggers, and binary editors. They serve as a key component in the compilation and linking process, playing a crucial role in generating executable files that can be executed by the target operating system.
