Relating to this patch for peXXigen.c

bfd/peXXigen.c:

>date: 2002/05/15 15:28:12;  author: nickc;  state: Exp;  lines: +54 -3

I have a question, which can perhaps answer anyone:

Does symbols, for which this patch is, are located in the text segment ?

The reason for this questioin is, because for auto-imported symbols the
first_thunk entry of the IMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR points directly into the text
segment to a pointer and not(!) to an
IMAGE_IMPORT_BY_NAME structure, which lets the following codefragement crashes.

peXXigen.c::pe_print_idata()
<snip>
		    	--- get IMAGE_IMPORT_BY_NAME structure values ----
		      ordinal = bfd_get_16 (abfd, data + iat_member - adj);
		      member_name = (char *) data + iat_member - adj + 2;
		      fprintf (file, "\t%04lx\t %4d  %s\n",
			      (unsigned long) iat_member,
			      ordinal,
			      member_name);
		    }

Or does anyone another idea how to solve this ?

Ralf
