Wednesday September 3, 2025. 03:46 PM , from LWN.net
Cary Coutant has announced
a draft for version 4.3 of the Executable and Linking Format (ELF) object file format. The specification was formerly part of the Unix System V Release 4 (SVR4) gABI document: The last published gABI documents were the Fourth Edition and a draft of Edition 4.1, both published in March 1997. The ELF portions of the document were updated several times between 1998 and 2015, published online I've published the last draft from 2015 as Version 4.2, and collected the several changes since then, along with new e_machine values, as Version 4.3. The source for the draft is on GitHub in reStructuredText format, and Coutant has collected the mailing list discussions for changes in 4.3 as GitHub issues. Thanks to Jose E. Marchesi for the tip.
