- Subject: BFD Mach-O back-end
Hi all,
There currently exists a partial BFD Mach-O back-end. This back-end
was written by Apple engineers and got contributed back to the FSF
about one year ago, judging from the log in the CVS repository. BFD is
used on Mac OS X by gdb only, as far as I can tell. As gdb doesn't use
all the parts of BFD that ld, for instance, uses, the existing back-end
is somewhat incomplete. Most notably, there is no support for
relocation.
I extended the back-end to support relocation, and I'm now considering
implementing linking support. I'd be pleased to contribute this code
back to the FSF, which is why I'm posting here.
