yepp, those nice invisible characters :S copy/pasting plist content e.g from a browser is not the best omen sometimes, take care, you can spare a lot of time for yourself

The reason is testing (and debugging) as you suspected e.g. we need this in some projects to use Criterion (https://github.com/Snaipe/Criterion) unit testing that uses some hacky tricks that require ASLR to be turned off to get it to work

I'm also badly interested in this, it seems after many format changes in the related linker option (-nopie, -no-pie, -no_pie) it is treated as deprecated now in ld and ld-classic comes with macOS Sonoma. Even though man ld shows it as an available command line switch, its usage gives a warning (ld: warning: -no_pie is deprecated when targeting new OS versions) and seems not to be working anymore.
