XCOFF

XCOFF, for "eXtended COFF", is an improved and expanded version of the COFF object file format defined by IBM and used in AIX. Early versions of the PowerPC Macintosh also supported XCOFF, as did BeOS.

XCOFF additions include the use of csects to provide subsection granularity of cross-references, and the use of stabs for debugging. Information for the handling of shared libraries is also more elaborate than for plain COFF.

More recently, IBM defined an XCOFF64 version supporting 64-bit AIX, and used XCOFF32 to mean the original file format.

    Over And Over

    by: Skywave

    Did the fire even spark?
    Yes, it's true, you control my heart
    Even though about this is not right (?)
    I'll leave alone with you tonight
    Make my words go away
    I'll kill this love and fade away
    I feel so alone, I can't be free
    (?) used to the end of me
    Nothing can last forever
    Suicide could be the answer (x2)
    I can't even breathe
    Space around me is starting freeze
    Climbing stars, now I see the light
    Taking me, telling me goodnight
    Is this the end, cease of being?
    My future is so easy to see
    All this gone, all this gone
    All this gone, all this gone
    Nothing can last forever
