A bit off topic: ARM Group relocations define a logical set of consequent instructions to be relocated to form one single address. For such relocations a 1 to 1 relation is also met, so no need of special processing in applyRelocation. Concerning native format: it also introduced unneeded code complexity to me when I wanted to set calculated relocation addend back into the Reference object in the relocation handler to simplify further processing. Since it crashed in tests because of native format conversion, I needed to ke...

Hi, I need an advice on implementation of a very specific kind of relocations used by MIPS N64 ABI. As usual the main problem is how to pass target specific data over Native/YAML conversion barrier. In this ABI relocation record r_info field in fact consists of five subfields: * r_sym - symbol index * r_ssym - special symbol * r_type3 - third relocation type * r_type2 - second relocation type
