Supporting Native_Posix on MacOS
summary
Claims that native_posix can run on macOS with workarounds and prototypes The implementation uses clang/LLVM tweaks (hashed section names), a small macho.js viewer and a toy blinker called loady, plus plans to add hashed-section support to lld Major obstacles are Mach-O vs ELF differences: no weak symbols, required segment names, dynamic linker cache and lack of GNU-style linker scripts The prototype boots Zephyr native_posix on macOS but needs lld linker changes, section name hashing and SDK integration and gen_handles updates before full support.
