== Objects and executables ==
Whereas wikipedia considers executables to be a subset of object files, there are significant differences. In some systems, they are a completely different format (COFF vs PE), or they different fields (ELF program/section headers). The key difference is that in executables the addresses have been resolved, while in object files they are not. This makes that non-executable files do not contain working code.
