You can do any of this in-memory wife ELF of course, it's just that nobody does and nobody's written the tools for it (the most obscure tool I know of is `ld -r`, which links two or more .o files and produces a new .o file instead of an executable)
replyFor sure, the main advantage is that since the SQLite file format is easy to use compared to ELF, it's more likely that such experiments would be even tried at all.
replyI got another one: bundling multiple (completely separate) executables with shared dependencies in the same SQLite, selected by argv[0] when called, like what busybox does
Also known as a directory.
replyAlso known as a zip file!
