- gumby 6y agoOh, he's in his 20s and this skill has increased as he has grown older!
- vram22 6y ago1. 20s are still kids. 2. Be proud you have a superkid. 3. How's your other kid (from Cygnus days), the BFD library, doing nowadays? Heh. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_File_Descriptor_library https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_File_Descriptor_libra...
- gumby 6y agoThe proliferation of formats has diminished, fortunately, so there is some interesting, somewhat target-specific work (e.g. the gold linker) being done without bfd. I am always amused/happy when I see instructions to use code I wrote simply for debugging the library itself (e.g. objdump) being used in other contexts.
- vram22 6y agoCool. Asked because 1) I'm into file formats myself, and 2) am a long time C and Unix guy (among other things, for both 1 and 2). Also because I had read that O'Reilly book, Open Source: Voices from the Open Source Revolution, and specifically the chapter about Cygnus.
