core.sys.darwin.mach.stab

Bindings for symbols and defines in mach-o/stab.h
This file gives definitions supplementing for permanent symbol table entries of Mach-O files. Modified from the BSD definitions. The modifications from the original definitions were changing what the values of what was the n_other field (an unused field) which is now the n_sect field. These modifications are required to support symbols in an arbitrary number of sections not just the three sections (text, data and bss) in a BSD file. The values of the defined constants have NOT been changed.
These must have one of the N_STAB bits on. The n_value fields are subject to relocation according to the value of their n_sect field. So for types that refer to things in sections the n_sect field must be filled in with the proper section ordinal. For types that are not to have their n_value field relocatated the n_sect field must be NO_SECT.
This file was created based on the MacOSX 10.15 SDK.
