--- Comment #7 from Pali Rohár <pali at kernel dot org> --- I did also another test. I took very simple resource file: $ cat test-resource.rc resource_name1 resource_type1 { "resource_string_data1" } resource_name2 "resource_type2" { "resource_string_data2" } "resource_name3" resource_type3 { "resource_string_data3" } "resource_name4" "resource_type4" { "resource_string_data4" } With MS RC.EXE compiler I can compile it, it does not throw any warning / error: $ RC.EXE /fo test-resource.ms.res test-resource.rc If I try to compile it with GNU windres, it throws syntax error: $ i686-w64-mingw32-windres test-resource.rc test-resource.gnu.res i686-w64-mingw32-windres: test-resource.rc:4: syntax error Binary resource test-resource.ms.res compiled by MS compiler I can put into resource-only DLL via MS linker and then list its content via wrestool: $ LINK.EXE /NOLOGO /DLL /NOENTRY /MACHINE:IX86 /OUT:test-resource.ms.dll test-resource.ms.res $ $ wrestool -l test-resource.ms.dll --type='"RESOURCE_TYPE2"' --name='"RESOURCE_TYPE2"' --language=1033 [offset=0x1248 size=21] --type='"RESOURCE_TYPE4"' --name='"RESOURCE_TYPE4"' --language=1033 [offset=0x1278 size=21] --type='RESOURCE_TYPE1' --name='RESOURCE_TYPE1' --language=1033 [offset=0x1230 size=21] --type='RESOURCE_TYPE3' --name='RESOURCE_TYPE3' --language=1033 [offset=0x1260 size=21] And now if I decompile resource.ms.res via GNU windres I get following output: $ i686-w64-mingw32-windres test-resource.ms.res /* Type: """RESOURCE_TYPE2""" Name: "RESOURCE_NAME2". */ LANGUAGE 9, 1 "RESOURCE_NAME2" """RESOURCE_TYPE2""" MOVEABLE PURE BEGIN 0x6f736572L, 0x65637275L, 0x7274735fL, 0x5f676e69L, 0x61746164L, "2" END /* Type: """RESOURCE_TYPE4""" Name: """RESOURCE_NAME4""". */ """RESOURCE_NAME4""" """RESOURCE_TYPE4""" MOVEABLE PURE BEGIN 0x6f736572L, 0x65637275L, 0x7274735fL, 0x5f676e69L, 0x61746164L, "4" END /* Type: "RESOURCE_TYPE1" Name: "RESOURCE_NAME1". */ "RESOURCE_NAME1" "RESOURCE_TYPE1" MOVEABLE PURE BEGIN 0x6f736572L, 0x65637275L, 0x7274735fL, 0x5f676e69L, 0x61746164L, "1" END /* Type: "RESOURCE_TYPE3" Name: """RESOURCE_NAME3""". */ """RESOURCE_NAME3""" "RESOURCE_TYPE3" MOVEABLE PURE BEGIN 0x6f736572L, 0x65637275L, 0x7274735fL, 0x5f676e69L, 0x61746164L, "3" END It is clear that it is not what was on the input as resource name and types have messed quote character. Content seems to be correct, it is just encoded in less readable DWORDs form instead of ASCII string. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
