Fix commands like ipsw class-dump to work on older macOS versions

[rgoldberg]

What happened?

On macOS 12.7.6, commands like:

ipsw class-dump /System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_arm64e 'CommerceKit' --headers --output /tmp/CommerceKit_HDRS

output headers with incorrect symbol names. e.g., /tmp/CommerceKit_HDRS/CommerceKit/CKBag.h is:

Please fix this command, and all other related commands, for as many latest versions of each macOS major version as possible.

How can we reproduce this?

Run the above command on macOS 12.7.6. Try it on some other macOS versions, too.

@blacktop Does the following info help with any investigation into fixing the headers extracted from the DSC on macOS 12 (& presumably older versions)?

I extracted all headers from the DSC for the current latest macOS 12, 13, 14 & 15 versions (the older 2 versions ran on Intel, the newer 2 versions ran on Apple Silicon).

In one example file (SSPurchase.h; the attached zip file has an extracted copy for each of the 4 aforementioned macOS versions), ignoring the boilerplate comments at the beginning:

• The 14 & 15 files were the same.
• The 13 file was the same as the 14 & 15 files, except that it used signed char while 14 & 15 used _Bool.
• The 12 file was the same as the 13 file, except that its /* class methods */ & /* instance methods */ sections were incorrect.

macOS 12.7.6 (build 21H1320) x86_64h

ipsw class-dump /System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64h --all --headers --output /tmp/headers

macOS 13.7.2 (build 22H313) x86_64h

ipsw class-dump /System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64h --all --headers --output /tmp/headers

macOS 14.7.2 (build 23H311) arm64e & macOS 15.2 (build 24C101) arm64e

ipsw class-dump /System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_arm64e --all --headers --output /tmp/headers

Thanks for any help.

I'd like to keep this open. Any chance it might be worked on? It looks like ipsw works on macOS 13+, but not on macOS 12.
