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).
