Macho loader - Mac OS x64

this code work with mini FPC core librarys <Bare Bones> for Mac OS
the generated files main & libtest.dylib is 8kb <each> only .

< load macho from memory with socket connection >

The macho loader requires access to some system functions
(e.g., NSCreateObjectFileImageFromMemory, NSLinkModule)

that are provided by libdyld.dylib. As we don't know the address of libdyld.dylib in memory .
  • we first walk to the very top of the stack.

  • We then start walking downwards on the stack and we inspect
    every pointer we find.

  • The trick is that the offset inside of libdyld.dylib must be
    present as it's placed there by the dynamic linker as the
    return function when main returns.

  • We find the offset, we resolve the functions and from then on,
    it's standard loading of macho bundle .

the main logic start at "Core/loadfunctions.pas" in loadall() .

this works only with x64 macho files .

Requirements

  • FreePascal Compiler >= v3
  • Mac OS
