The sim architecture needs to defer C++ global constructors until after
NuttX kernel initialization completes. On macOS this was previously done
via a runtime hack (sim_macho_init.c): a __attribute__((constructor))
function intercepted constructors, saved them, and replayed them later.
That approach was fragile because it depended on constructor ordering
and required mprotect() to patch the read-only __mod_init_func section
at runtime.
This commit replaces the runtime hack with a post-link patching scheme:
1. Link with -Wl,-ld_classic,-no_fixup_chains to keep the classic
__mod_init_func pointer format (prevents ld64 from converting it
to __init_offsets).
2. Post-link, run patch_macho_initsection.py (python3 + lief) to
patch Mach-O section type flags from
MOD_INIT_FUNC_POINTERS/INIT_FUNC_OFFSETS to REGULAR, so dyld
skips them entirely.
3. Use the Mach-O auto-generated boundary symbols
section$start$__DATA_CONST$__mod_init_func /
section$end$__DATA_CONST$__mod_init_func, mapped via __asm()
labels in arch/sim/include/arch.h to the common _sinit[]/_einit[]
names used by lib_cxx_initialize().
Linux behavior is unchanged.
Changes:
- arch/sim/include/arch.h: add macOS __asm() declarations for
_sinit/_einit
- arch/sim/src/Makefile: drop sim_macho_init.c HEADSRC handling,
always pass -ld_classic,-no_fixup_chains on macOS, run
patch_macho_initsection.py after link when CONFIG_HAVE_CXXINITIALIZE
- arch/sim/src/sim/CMakeLists.txt: same for the CMake build
- arch/sim/src/patch_macho_initsection.py: new lief-based patcher
- arch/sim/src/sim/posix/sim_macho_init.c: deleted (135-line hack)
- libs/libc/misc/lib_cxx_initialize.c: remove
macho_call_saved_init_funcs special case; single unified loop
Testing:
- macOS (Ventura VM): verified lief patching with standalone test
(test_sinit7) confirming the constructor is deferred past main()
and only invoked when explicitly called via the _sinit/_einit loop.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).
For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.
Getting Started
First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.
Documentation
You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.
Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.
The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.
Supported Boards
NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.

If you wish to contribute to the NuttX project, read the Contributing guidelines for information on Git usage, coding standard, workflow and the NuttX principles.
