Hi, I am trying to figure out the cause of a slow application startup, and the evidence I have so far, points to mingw's _pei386_runtime_relocator() routine as the culprit. When I start my app under debugger, I see this function calling VirtualProtect() about a zillion times in a row.
Looking at the source, I see that __pei386_runtime_relocator() is supposed to change memory protection just once per executable section, but only if __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR is defined at compilation time. Otherwise, it reverts to changing protection once per relocation entry, for compatibility (?). Unfortunately, I don't see any headers included by pseudo-reloc.c that would define this symbol. And, indeed, the behavior I am seeing at runtime indicates that if was not defined... Am I reading this right? Thanks! Vadim (mingw version = i686-4.9.0-win32-dwarf-rt_v3-rev2)
