00:11:37 jhj, Thanks. I personally like C over C++ [for a plethora of reasons] too, and also dbx over gdb. If you care to expand on what you like, you can always mention me, or drop an /msg or two, if it doesn't fit in #illumos . 15:47:57 Does anyone have an easy way of generating corrupt core files for testing a new elf note off hand? Or is just creating it manually likely the simplest path? 16:13:17 I don't have anything at hand but was curious if anyone else had built it and did a search for "elf file fuzzer" and found https://github.com/IOActive/Melkor_ELF_Fuzzer (amusingly, the author refers to malformed elf files as orcs) 16:14:18 it's 10 years old with 2 real commits so it may not be that complete or useful. 16:19:40 I'd forgotten about that. There is a fork at https://github.com/omniosorg/Melkor_ELF_Fuzzer which builds on illumos 16:19:52 I used it when I was making some changes to elfexec in the kernel 16:22:15 Yeah, in this case more so wanted to just edit the notes without having to deal with updating all the sections and lengths by hand. 19:23:04 I have run melkor a lot, and found a bunch of bugs (mostly in elfdump etc.)
