Regarding my linker question: I'm not talking about a linker switch. I'm talking about a special rule that the linker uses when assigning the order that segments appear in the .exe file. My question should be obvious to any of your developers that work on either the linker or the compiler runtime library. There is 1 Reply.

Reed, > My question should be obvious to any of your developers that work on either the linker or the compiler runtime library. I forwarded an exact copy of your original post to the manager in charge of the linker. Here is his response: "The '$' symbol is used internally by the linker and the compilers for 'special' section names and SHOULD not be used by developers outside of Microsoft." Julie
