Hello! I use mingw to produce win32 executables. It makes executable with '.rsrc' section flags 0xC0000040 which mean the section is writeable.
While I cannot see any reasons to keep resource section writeable, I found two reasons to make it read-only: 1. for prevention of occasional write to rsrc section; 2. executables with read-only rsrc section consume less memory; 3. MS compiler+linker tools makes rsrc section R/O by default. I don't know should this be considered as a bug, but any comments are welcome. PS. I did search Web, bugzilla, mailing lists and found nothing about the subject. The version of ld I use is: >ld -v >GNU ld version 2.15.94 20050118 Best regards, Michael _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
