#pragma section and attributes
portable-executable, visual-c++
Solution
I think that this due to the `execute` flag. I don't think you can have a section that contains writeable code in Windows.
I might be remembering this wrong but it would a security issue and thus not supported.
Problem
Just trying to make a new section and setting up his attributes with #pragma return this warning: warning C4330: attribute 'write' for section '.mysec' ignored Simple code: ``` #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #pragma section(".mysec",execute,read,write) __declspec(allocate(".mysec")) UCHAR var[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF}; void main() { return; } ``` linker options: /DYNAMICBASE:NO, /FIXED, /NXCOMPAT:NO, /OPT:NOREF OS/tools: Win x64 / msvc++ 110 I read some articles on MSDN and in particulary this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/50bewfwa(v=vs.110).aspx but didn't found answer. Thanks.
