I have a few questions:
Why was a.out replaced by ELF ? What were the major flaws in the a.out format that led to the raise of ELF file format? Earlier core dumps were based on a.out, but now they are based on ELF. What are the various advantages provided...

I need to be able to add an arbitrary section to an ELF file. I cannot use GPL code in this program, so BFD is out of the question. I can use libelf/gelf to read sections, but the documentation is fairly sparse for these, and I cannot figure out how to...

Any recommendations for a good cross-platform library for reading ELF file debug information in DWARF format? I'd like to read the DWARF debug info in a Python program.

No, it does not physically contain those zeros.
But i think i still remember this stuff.

Hi,
I am writing a simple user-space ELF loader under Linux (why? for 'fun'). My loader at the moment is quite simple and is designed to load only statically-linked ELF files containing position-independent code.

Is it possible to run the COFF executable files on UNIX or the ELF executable files on Windows? And what would be the steps to be able to run either file type on Windows and UNIX. I'm just curious.

Please Solve: ELF + ELF = FOOL? This is a real math problem. I have no idea what it means.
I am not a math teacher and I am trying to solve a 6th grade math competition problem.
