/* noaslr.c: Disable ASLR on OS X Mavericks
*
* $Id: //info.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/master/code/eventcnv.c#26 $
* Copyright (c) 2014-2020 Ravenbrook Limited. See end of file for license.
*
* This is a command-line tool that runs another program with address
* space layout randomization (ASLR) disabled.
*
* The technique is taken from GDB via "How gdb disables ASLR in Mac
* OS X Lion"
* <http://reverse.put.as/2011/08/11/how-gdb-disables-aslr-in-mac-os-x-lion/>
*
* On OS X Mavericks, the _POSIX_SPAWN_DISABLE_ASLR constant is not
* defined in any header, but the LLDB sources reveal its value, and
* experimentally this value works.
* <https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk/tools/darwin-debug/darwin-debug.cpp>
