[Mingw-users] NT driver checksum tool

[Eric K. <ek...@rz...>]

Hi,

I just signed up to this mailing list. I'm an active member of the ReactOS
project (http://www.reactos.com). that's why I'm very interested in
improving MinGW. Especially 'fastcall' and 'structured exception handling'
(SEH) suport are needed very much.

A few weeks ago Chris Telting started a discussion about NT driver
development on this list. A major showstopper for developing NT drivers
using MinGW is the missing image checksum support. Based on some information
I found on the net, I wrote a little tool that calculates and/or validates
image checksums. The attached program is only a proof-of-concept. Because it
uses several calls to the Win32 api it cannot be used for cross-development
yet.

I would like to integrate it into MinGW and make it platform independant.
Any help is appreciated because I'm not familiar with the bfd library.

Best regards,
Eric Kohl
