27 * This file describes the format of mach object files.
29 #include <stdint.h>
32 * <mach/machine.h> is needed here for the cpu_type_t and cpu_subtype_t types
33 * and contains the constants for the possible values of these types.
35 #include <mach/machine.h>
38 * <mach/vm_prot.h> is needed here for the vm_prot_t type and contains the
39 * constants that are or'ed together for the possible values of this type.
41 #include <mach/vm_prot.h>
44 * <machine/thread_status.h> is expected to define the flavors of the thread
45 * states and the structures of those flavors for each machine.

48 #include <architecture/byte_order.h>
51 * The 32-bit mach header appears at the very beginning of the object file for
52 * 32-bit architectures.

88 * The layout of the file depends on the filetype. For all but the MH_OBJECT
89 * file type the segments are padded out and aligned on a segment alignment
90 * boundary for efficient demand pageing. The MH_EXECUTE, MH_FVMLIB, MH_DYLIB,
91 * MH_DYLINKER and MH_BUNDLE file types also have the headers included as part
92 * of their first segment.
94 * The file type MH_OBJECT is a compact format intended as output of the
95 * assembler and input (and possibly output) of the link editor (the .o
96 * format). All sections are in one unnamed segment with no segment padding.
97 * This format is used as an executable format when the file is so small the
98 * segment padding greatly increases its size.
100 * The file type MH_PRELOAD is an executable format intended for things that
101 * are not executed under the kernel (proms, stand alones, kernels, etc). The
102 * format can be executed under the kernel but may demand paged it and not
103 * preload it before execution.
105 * A core file is in MH_CORE format and can be any in an arbritray legal
106 * Mach-O file.

211 * The load commands directly follow the mach_header. The total size of all
212 * of the commands is given by the sizeofcmds field in the mach_header. All
213 * load commands must have as their first two fields cmd and cmdsize. The cmd
214 * field is filled in with a constant for that command type. Each command type
215 * has a structure specifically for it. The cmdsize field is the size in bytes
216 * of the particular load command structure plus anything that follows it that
217 * is a part of the load command (i.e. section structures, strings, etc.). To
218 * advance to the next load command the cmdsize can be added to the offset or
219 * pointer of the current load command. The cmdsize for 32-bit architectures
220 * MUST be a multiple of 4 bytes and for 64-bit architectures MUST be a multiple
221 * of 8 bytes (these are forever the maximum alignment of any load commands).
222 * The padded bytes must be zero. All tables in the object file must also
223 * follow these rules so the file can be memory mapped. Otherwise the pointers

377 * A segment is made up of zero or more sections. Non-MH_OBJECT files have

868 * module table - the file contains only one module so everything in the

870 * reference symbol table - is the defined and undefined external symbols

962 * case the presents of this load command who's extreloff, nextrel,

964 * entries of non-merged sections are not referenced through the section
965 * structures (and the reloff and nreloc fields in the section headers are
966 * set to zero).
968 * Since the relocation entries are not accessed through the section headers

1233 * This step is done after binding. The content of the weak_bind

1236 * all images with weak binding information in order and look
1237 * for collisions. If there are no collisions, dyld does
1238 * no updating. That means that some fixups are also encoded
1239 * in the bind_info. For instance, all calls to "operator new"
1240 * are first bound to libstdc++.dylib using the information
1241 * in bind_info. Then if some image overrides operator new
1242 * that is detected when the weak_bind information is processed

1249 * Some uses of external symbols do not need to be bound immediately.
1250 * Instead they can be lazily bound on first use. The lazy_bind
1251 * are contains a stream of BIND opcodes to bind all lazy symbols.
1252 * Normal use is that dyld ignores the lazy_bind section when
1253 * loading an image. Instead the static linker arranged for the
1254 * lazy pointer to initially point to a helper function which
1255 * pushes the offset into the lazy_bind area for the symbol
1256 * needing to be bound, then jumps to dyld which simply adds
1257 * the offset to lazy_bind_off to get the information on what
1258 * to bind.

1264 * The symbols exported by a dylib are encoded in a trie. This
1265 * is a compact representation that factors out common prefixes.
1266 * It also reduces LINKEDIT pages in RAM because it encodes all
1267 * information (name, address, flags) in one small, contiguous range.
1268 * The export area is a stream of nodes. The first node sequentially
1269 * is the start node for the trie.
1271 * Nodes for a symbol start with a uleb128 that is the length of
1272 * the exported symbol information for the string so far.
1273 * If there is no exported symbol, the node starts with a zero byte.
1274 * If there is exported info, it follows the length.
1276 * First is a uleb128 containing flags. Normally, it is followed by
1277 * a uleb128 encoded offset which is location of the content named
1278 * by the symbol from the mach_header for the image. If the flags
1279 * is EXPORT_SYMBOL_FLAGS_REEXPORT, then following the flags is
1280 * a uleb128 encoded library ordinal, then a zero terminated
1281 * UTF8 string. If the string is zero length, then the symbol
1282 * is re-export from the specified dylib with the same name.
1283 * If the flags is EXPORT_SYMBOL_FLAGS_STUB_AND_RESOLVER, then following
1284 * the flags is two uleb128s: the stub offset and the resolver offset.
1285 * The stub is used by non-lazy pointers. The resolver is used
1286 * by lazy pointers and must be called to get the actual address to use.
1288 * After the optional exported symbol information is a byte of
1289 * how many edges (0-255) that this node has leaving it,
1290 * followed by each edge.
1291 * Each edge is a zero terminated UTF8 of the addition chars
1292 * in the symbol, followed by a uleb128 offset for the node that
1293 * edge points to.
