Hello all, In case you haven't found it yet. At the Apple Developer site there is a document entitiled "Mac OS X Runtime Architecture" (http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/System/Documentation/ Developer/DeveloperTools/MacOSXRuntime/MacOSXRuntime.pdf) that describes, although very briefly, the Mach-O data types and calling conventions. I've not found anything that discusses object file formats or executable file formats. Someone mentioned that sysv4 ABI sucked. I've been reading through the Sunsoft version of it dated Sept'95 and I don't see anything that obviously sucks. I would like to see a little more description of what was right/wrong with each choice before we move to a decision about which ABI to adobt. What is NetBSD using? Can I steal their toolchain just to get underway. I would like to write a couple of test programs that interface to OF. OF3.0 understands the sysv4 elfs directly (I think) does anyone have a tool chain that builds those?
