Problems with binutils?

Problems with binutils?

[Angelo Graziosi]

It seems that the attached test case does not work rightly with current 
binutils.

The Help menu contains two About items and About2 is created from About1 
with Copy/Paste. Now, while clicking on About1 works as expected, the 
click on About2 does not produce anything and fails. If I comment out 
the FILE_EXIT stuff (from .c, .h and .rc files) the issue is for About1 
and not for About2 (it "swapped"!).

If, as binutils, I use the old binutils-2.23.52-5.tar.bz2 package, all 
works as expected.

I can reproduce the issue also with the current mingw-w64 binutils (and 
the relative mingw-w64 compilers, i686-w64-mingw32, x86_64-w64-mingw32).

The issue does not exist using mingw binutils (i686-pc-mingw32).


The attached tar-ball can be used in this way:

$ tar -xvf test_case_b.tar.bz2
$ cd test_case_b
$ ./dlg_one.out

To create the test case I have adapted an application found on the web.

Consider that I discovered the issue with a more complicated Fortran 
application.

Ciao,
Angelo.

Yes, that's really puzzling.  I can reproduce the issue, but it's
pretty unclear what happens.  When extracting the resources from
the linked executable, for instance with

  windres dlg_one.out -o dlg_from_exe.rc

the resulting rc file looks perfectly normal.  Maybe this has
something to do with alignment?!?

Would you mind to create a bugzilla entry for this problem at
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ ?

Obviosly... I just hope I did everything right.

This should be PR binutils/16807, i.e.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16807


Ciao,
  Angelo.

You can simply create a new account using the "New account" link
on that page.  It's pretty easy.

If you can't create an account for some reason, I can do it.

Indeed.. In my original Fortran application what triggered the issue was 
the code about the "Time interval" dialogue. For example commenting out 
the "DEFPUSHBUTTON" line under TTOT, the issue went away..

I am not subscribed there... :(

May you?
