Re: PE32+ Format!

Hi Nick,

thanks for answering. I've sent this reply to the mailing list again.

Okay, here's my problem: We're working on a software that is mainly
developed under Windows. Part of the software is pure assembler code
(MASM syntax). To get the program running under Linux we convert the
object files from COFF format to ELF format. That worked for the 32-bit
version.
Now we have also developed assembler code for Athlon64 under Win64 and
therefore we have these PE32+ (I think) object files that can't be
converted by objdump.
Now, to get this running under Linux again, we could write a converter
that converts the assembler files from MASM syntax to AT&T syntax. Or we
could try to implement this new format in binutils. Since I've heard
that there are only a few changes from PE32 to PE32+ it would be easier
to implement this format in binutils.
If anybody knows about documentation of this format please send it to
me. All help is welcome...
