Talk:Mach-O

message: Apple did not develope Mach-O. Mach-O was already there when Apple adapted it.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.58.218.117 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's why the article says "Carnegie-Mellon University/Apple Computer".  It could probably say "Carnegie-Mellon University/NeXT/Apple Computer", as Apple and, I suspect, NeXT both added stuff to Mach-O after the initial CMU work. Guy Harris 01:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I haven't been able to find anything that says how Mach-O is derived from a.out - only that it was designed as a _replacement_ for the a.out format. Anybody have cites one way or the other? --moof (talk) 02:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have looked at numerous sources and can't find any evidence that it should be considered a derivative as opposed to a replacement.  I changed the text to indicate that it is a replacement and added a reference to the original NS documentation. --Tkmcinto (talk) 06:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  is Mach-O really derived from a.out? 

message: I added this section. It is important and often used information by developers for the Mac platform. However I am unhappy with the section name and would recommend some one to both clean up my section and rename it to something a little more meaningful.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by CupOfJava (talk • contribs) 05:50, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mach-O Future 

message: In its section on 'file layout,' this article mentions that, "Mach-O uses the REL relocation format to handle references to symbols."  However, neither I nor Google can, for our lives, figure out what this 'REL relocation format' might be!  What in the multiverse is it?  — RandomDSdevel (talk) 20:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  What Is the 'REL Relocation Format?' 

message: How for heaven's sake can a wikipedia entry about a particular file format not rely mostly on "primary sources" the documents of the inventors of a format?
Do we need an autorative professor who in print confirms that like the gas chambers of Auschwitz the mach format is for real?
