 - <h4 class="subsubsection">2.15.1.3 <code>bfd_get_size</code></h4>
 - <p><strong>Description</strong><br>
 - These macros as used for reading and writing raw data in
 - sections; each access (except for bytes) is vectored through
 - the target format of the BFD and mangled accordingly. The
 - mangling performs any necessary endian translations and
 - removes alignment restrictions.  Note that types accepted and
 - returned by these macros are identical so they can be swapped
 - around in macros—for example, <samp>libaout.h</samp> defines <code>GET_WORD</code>
 - to either <code>bfd_get_32</code> or <code>bfd_get_64</code>.
 - </p>
 - <p>In the put routines, <var>val</var> must be a <code>bfd_vma</code>.  If we are on a
 - system without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making
 - sure that is true, with a cast if necessary.  We don’t cast
 - them in the macro definitions because that would prevent <code>lint</code>
 - or <code>gcc -Wall</code> from detecting sins such as passing a pointer.
 - To detect calling these with less than a <code>bfd_vma</code>, use
 - <code>gcc -Wconversion</code> on a host with 64 bit <code>bfd_vma</code>’s.
