@hikari These days it’s in __TEXT,__stubs, for example. In fact I have never heard of the section names you mentioned (as you can tell I have never reversed a 32-bit iOS app :P)

@saagar well, __la_symbol_ptr seems to be alive and well on x64 macOS, at least.
something I wonder about is why __symbol_stub4 (and __picsymbolstub4, which I omitted for simplicity) have that 4 suffix. 4 bytes per pointer? I can’t be bothered to figure it out though :)

@hikari No idea, maybe the iOS version it was introduced in?

@saagar hmm, when I look at an iPhone OS 3.2 app, there’s __symbolstub1 instead :)
