Several projects have taken to using .text to store read-only data when building on Mac OS X due to crashes in SSE code from the .rodata section being mis-aligned. It seems there was a misunderstanding about how ld/ld64 handles section alignment in outmacho.c so I wrote a patch to fix it. I tested it against x264 git, modified it to use ".rodata align=16" for the data section and use movdqa instructions (guaranteed to crash when built with unpatched nasm) and it passed all tests in its checkasm tool. If you want more data I can provide, but it's late and I've had a couple glasses of mulled wine :) -DrD-
NASM, the Netwide Assembler.
Many many developers all over the net respect NASM for what it is
- a widespread (thus netwide), portable (thus netwide!), very
flexible and mature assembler tool with support for many output
formats (thus netwide!!).
Now we have good news for you: NASM is licensed under LGPL.
This means its development is open to even wider society of
programmers wishing to improve their lovely assembler.
The NASM project is now situated at SourceForge.net, the most
popular Open Source development site on the Internet.
Visit our website at http://nasm.sourceforge.net/ and our

See the file CHANGES for the description of changes between revisions.
With best regards,
NASM crew.
