// This class was initially defined using the last unused relocType. The
// new version tries to limit the impact on open source code changes.
//
// Without compiled code support, symbolic_Relocation need not be a real
// relocation. To avoid using the last unused relocType, the
// symbolic_Relocation::spec(<any symbolic type>) has been replaced
// by additional methods using directly the symbolic type.
//
// Note: the order of the arguments in some methods had to reversed
// to avoid confusion between the relocType enum and the
// symbolic_reference enum.
