If you're doing something less common, like memory overlays, with multiple sections sharing the same virtual address, the default behavior of iterating over section headers doesn't work - data gets overwritten, corrupting the program.
loaddoesn't work in this case as it's just a part of an ELF that needs to be loaded in a specific spot, following its physical address (and would feel rather hacky regardless). I didn't want to touch the section headers for compatibility, leaving the virtual addresses case untouched, so I added a new attribute:elf_use_ph.With that flag enabled, the program data will be copied using program header data at the physical address within.
Example usage:
