Plausible. I suppose this gets handled by the windows loader similar to how the .data.ro sections get handled by an elf loader with -z relro? I.e. relocations applied then the page protections reapplied? Would it be of any use to introduce an .rdata$N section (equivalent to .data.ro) so that most of the runtime relocations are adjacent, and more of the executable image is sharable? r~
