Workarounds (which only exist for a debugger) don't belong in the HBABI. --[[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] ([[User talk:Yellows8|talk]]) 19:17, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Almost all of HBABI is workarounds to facilitate running homebrew applications in dirty environments:
- bad entrypoint arguments (MainThreadHandle)
- reusing the same process (OverrideHeap, Argv (can't use loader-args), AllocPages, LockRegion, RandomSeed)
- legacy exploits (OverrideService, AppletWorkaround)
- working around 0xffff8001 check in SVCs (ProcessHandle)
And although it's not specified in the HBABI, reading back argv[0] for ASET is also a way to work around not being installed as a real application and being able to access romfs like official applications do.
The only thing I'm working around here is the ASET workaround that needlessly ties homebrew to the SD card. Even if this is a workaround for a debugger, I don't think that's grounds for not belonging in the HBABI. It's not like Nintendo doesn't do anything similar ("Redirect*" commands in lr).
