Parsing the wdmsec.lib symbol table has been improved a lot, however
for some sections I get a:
I didn't do any changes wrt parsing any symbol tables or so.
/home/johannes/mingw-build-binutils/sysroot/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-objdump:
ntoskrnl.exe: file format not recognized
[...]
while most sections work:
ntoskrnl.exe: file format pe-x86-64
[...]
ntoskrnl.exe: file format pei-x86-64
[...]
(Those aren't "sections", those are archive members, i.e. inividual
files.)
You didn't really specify what command you tried to execute here, and for
what purpose - so you're really having me guess the intent here.
I didn't have a copy of wdmsec.lib handy myself, but now I do. I tried
"x86_64-w64-mingw32-objdump -h wdmsec.lib" and found such errors.
Extracting the static archive to look at it closer, where multiple archive
members have the exact same file name, is a bit tricky, but I have a
hacked llvm-ar that extracts them with unique names.
It seems like binutils does recognize some of the short import library
files, but not others.
See https://martin.st/temp/ntoskrnl.exe-779 and
https://martin.st/temp/ntoskrnl.exe-780 for two such extracted files.
$ llvm-readobj ntoskrnl.exe-779 ntoskrnl.exe-780
File: ntoskrnl.exe-779
Format: COFF-import-file-x86-64
Type: code
Name type: name
Export name: IoFastQueryNetworkAttributes
Symbol: __imp_IoFastQueryNetworkAttributes
Symbol: IoFastQueryNetworkAttributes

Type: const
Name type: name

Two generally quite similar import objects.
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-objdump -h ntoskrnl.exe-779 ntoskrnl.exe-780

So apparently binutils doesn't recognize all of them; perhaps the variant
"Type: const" isn't recognized? I guess it'd be possible to improve this
aspect in binutils too.
