No. This is a guess.
It is the required file format for SVR4 ELF executables on
Intel. Which happens to be the executable file format that is used on Linux, too. Even if this wasn't true, the kernel works the way it
works and your program modifies a working executable in a way that it
can no longer be executed. If is, of course, possible to modify the
ELF code in the kernel to work with QG-ELF, too, but why?
Because it adds a lot of generality to the cost of changing TEN lines
of code, and it makes the kernel respect the norm.
bumping an old thread because godfroy seems quite reasonable and i just feel like possibly annoying that cranky bastard who insisted that the kernel is sacred or something.
christ coding in a kernel is abusing everything holy from time to time, you literally are writing the ticket... and you give him hell for what comes down to adherence to the spec? or rather his failure to adhere to your lazy, broken and more importantly
conveniently illiterateness... it's appropriate that this fellow in the end was so damned arrogant he couldn't even hold himself to his pedantic and irritating standard. in another decade maybe someone else will get a laugh out of it and the curmudgeon
will never forget...that PDF bit is a real gas. holes in it...maybe the wall afterwards. also thanks, a decade later, i'm dealing with some proprietary binaries in a closed system and this is helping me keep it working. if any of you larp at me about
proprietary binaries, i swear to christ this thread will be open through the year 3000. the funny part is some people don't mind doing this sort of thing and aren't bitter trolls about it when someone does something useful even if they don't quite see it
as such.
personally i'm just probably mildly sadistic in certain ways and i'm really just enjoying the thought of this jackass blowing his top ten years after being a tremendous blowhard.
good day to you kind sir, as for the rest of you lot, i've a sentiment for you today but not that one. :D
