That's what a 8byte_literals section becomes (i.e., 8-byte-sized constants) code sections with symbols which can be coalesced (i.e., if a symbol in this section occurs in more than one section, fold it together with another instance rather than giving a "duplicate symbol error"). "nt" is probably an abbreviation for "no toc". See http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/Assembler/... (under "no_toc" for more information) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
