Sa miaj amikoj! I am writing an UEFI bootloader in Zig (+ kernel).
I am sorry if i come across as a buffoon but i've barely programmed before
The bootloader part is easy. but now im stuck on how to compile the kernel and load it:
The Zig language does have a raw output format. I was joyed. but its been in the to-do list since who knows how long. So i need to keep using ELF for now
So maybe i'll just jump to e_entry but it is nowhere near offset of .text so I am kinda thrown off
I could extract .text.data.rodata. and just concat them together to make a jmp'able format. but I am sure it would jump to .rodata somehow. (maybe i need to parse x86 assembly and update the addresses?).
The most plausible idea for me right now is to keep the distance between the three sections the same and fill the space with 0xff
I have no idea how i should do it. All of the ideas in my head are straight buns. In fact i do not even know how to load an ELF binary. What should i do?
I tried making some ideas. All of them stinks. I expect none of them to work. And the result is i never actually compiled it so now i am writing this stackoverflow question
