Here is an excerpt of a backtrace on a call to NSCreateObjectFileImageFromMemory (ran on Mac OS X 10.4.6 ppc) You can clearly identify that compatibilityChecks is called inside the ImageLoaderMachO constructor. 1 dyld 0x8fe1168c ImageLoaderMachO::compatibilityChecks(ImageLoader::LinkContext const&) + 316 2 dyld 0x8fe12ddc ImageLoaderMachO::ImageLoaderMachO [in-charge](char const*, mach_header const*, unsigned long long, ImageLoader::LinkContext const&) + 224 3 dyld 0x8fe05af4 dyld::loadFromMemory(unsigned char const*, unsigned long long, char const*) + 996 4 dyld 0x8fe0860c NSCreateObjectFileImageFromMemory + 120 5 libSystem.B.dylib 0x9017dca0 NSCreateObjectFileImageFromMemory + 104 Here is the source from http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ 10.4.6.ppc/ // create image by copying an in-memory mach-o file ImageLoaderMachO::ImageLoaderMachO(const char* moduleName, const struct mach_header* mh, uint64_t len, const LinkContext& context) : ImageLoader(moduleName) { // clean slate this->init(); So, why is the binaries different from the sources ? Any idea ? Grepping the dyld sources for "compatibilityChecks" returned no result either. I'm really surprised. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
