I have a question regarding Mac.
Is it possible to run untrusted Mach-O file?
Can I compile a code without a certificate and run it on Mac computer?
or the GateKeeper will block it?
Thanks!

Yes, you can just compile and run C/C++/whatever code, e.g. from the command line, and run it. What problem did you encounter ? – Paul R Jan 03 '17 at 10:36

So I don't understand what is the purpose of GateKeeper? Isn't it to prevent such cases? – 1337 Jan 03 '17 at 13:07

I think it's mainly to prevent malicious apps from being launched from the Finder or from other apps/scripts/installers. Presumably the command line is not a concern, since if you have access to the command line then you can do pretty much anything you like anyway. (I'm just guessing, BTW - I don't have any actual evidence for this, other than knowing that I can build and run code from the command line without interference...) – Paul R Jan 03 '17 at 13:17
