--- Comment #17 from LIU Hao <lh_mouse at 126 dot com> --- (In reply to Jeremy Drake from comment #16) > I kind of got the impression that section names were limited to 8 > characters. If that's not true, I could use better section names like in > that merge request. Actually, I vaguely remember that section names in > objects can be longer but section names in images are limited to 8 > characters? https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32/blob/9b6259331717ade8385619de80b4a71017ca6294/desktop-src/Debug/pe-format.md?plain=1#L349 > 0 > 8 > Name > An 8-byte, null-padded UTF-8 encoded string. If the string is exactly 8 > characters long, there is no terminating null. For longer names, this field > contains a slash (/) that is followed by an ASCII representation of a decimal > number that is an offset into the string table. Executable images do not use > a string table and do not support section names longer than 8 characters. > Long names in object files are truncated if they are emitted to an executable > file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
