- I have been given the requirement to develop an absolute address object
- patcher for COFF files.
-
- Obviously this is not something I want to spend 6-8 months working on.
-
- Does anyone know of such a beast?
-
- The basic requirement is to provide the capability of patching COFF
- executable programs in the field, with the following restrictions:
-
- o) Symbolic debug information would not have to be kept upto date.
- o) Patching of the COFF .lib and .init sections (shareable library information)
- will not be required.
- o) Only executable binaries will be required to be patched.
- o) The execution of a COFF disassembler should not be required.
-
- Any help or direction is appreciated.
-
- Matt
