- * The r_address is not really the address as it's name indicates but an offset.

- * entry is for.
- *
- * In 4.3BSD a.out objects if r_extern is zero then r_symbolnum is an ordinal
- * for the segment the symbol being relocated is in. These ordinals are the
- * symbol types N_TEXT, N_DATA, N_BSS or N_ABS. In Mach-O object files these
- * ordinals refer to the sections in the object file in the order their section
- * structures appear in the headers of the object file they are in. The first
- * section has the ordinal 1, the second 2, and so on. This means that the
- * same ordinal in two different object files could refer to two different
- * sections. And further could have still different ordinals when combined
- * by the link-editor. The value R_ABS is used for relocation entries for
- * absolute symbols which need no further relocation.

- * reference not contained in the instruction. This other part is stored in the
- * pair's r_address field. The exact number of bits of the other part of the
- * reference store in the r_address field is dependent on the particular

- * To make scattered loading by the link editor work correctly "local"
- * relocation entries can't be used when the item to be relocated is the value
- * of a symbol plus an offset (where the resulting expresion is outside the
- * block the link editor is moving, a blocks are divided at symbol addresses).
- * In this case. where the item is a symbol value plus offset, the link editor
- * needs to know more than just the section the symbol was defined. What is
- * needed is the actual value of the symbol without the offset so it can do the
- * relocation correctly based on where the value of the symbol got relocated to
- * not the value of the expression (with the offset added to the symbol value).
- * So for the NeXT 2.0 release no "local" relocation entries are ever used when
- * there is a non-zero offset added to a symbol. The "external" and "local"
- * relocation entries remain unchanged.
- *
- * The implemention is quite messy given the compatibility with the existing
- * relocation entry format. The ASSUMPTION is that a section will never be
- * bigger than 2**24 - 1 (0x00ffffff or 16,777,215) bytes. This assumption
- * allows the r_address (which is really an offset) to fit in 24 bits and high
- * bit of the r_address field in the relocation_info structure to indicate
- * it is really a scattered_relocation_info structure. Since these are only
- * used in places where "local" relocation entries are used and not where
- * "external" relocation entries are used the r_extern field has been removed.
- *
- * For scattered loading to work on a RISC machine where some of the references
- * are split across two instructions the link editor needs to be assured that
- * each reference has a unique 32 bit reference (that more than one reference is
- * NOT sharing the same high 16 bits for example) so it move each referenced
- * item independent of each other. Some compilers guarantees this but the
- * compilers don't so scattered loading can be done on those that do guarantee
- * this.
