Hello everybody, I would like some insights on the semantics of the X86_64_RELOC_UNSIGNED relocation type. When r_extern=1, the semantics seem pretty clear: Let x be a pointer to r_offset of appropriate size given by r_size, then *x += addr_of_symbol(r_symbolnum) However, when r_extern=0 the correct behavior is not clear. By analogy with the above, I would have expected *x += addr_of_section(r_symbolnum) but what LLVM implements is different. In RTDyld it implements *x = (*x-addr_of_section(r_symbolnum)) + addr_of_section(r_symbolnum) or e...
