Is there any way to put resource section as the last section?

[Dubby]

So as the title says...
is there any linker directive to do so?

because sometimes I feel lazy to update resources through the source code...
especially, if I just want a quick dirty hack for resource layout inside my assembled program...  :P

Hi Dubby,

Not sure if it helps but, you can try Yaroslav's resource linker :

Here is a quick example :

Code Select Expand

#include    "Dlgbox.inc"

.data
DlgName     db "MyDialog",0

hInstance   dd ?
CommandLine dd ?
hCursor     dd ?

.code

start:

    invoke  GetModuleHandle,0
    mov     [hInstance],eax
    invoke  DialogBoxParam,[hInstance],ADDR DlgName,0,ADDR DlgProc,0
    invoke  ExitProcess,eax

DlgProc FRAME hWnd,uMsg,wParam,lParam

    cmp     d[uMsg],WM_CLOSE
    jne     >initdlg
    invoke  EndDialog,[hWnd],0
    jmp     >true

initdlg:

    cmp     d[uMsg],WM_INITDIALOG
    jne     >setcursor
    invoke  LoadCursor,0,IDC_CROSS
    mov     [hCursor],eax
    jmp     >true

setcursor:

    cmp     d[uMsg],WM_SETCURSOR
    jne     >false
    invoke  SetCursor,[hCursor]
    jmp     >true

false:

    xor     eax,eax
    ret

true:

    mov     eax,1
    ret

ENDF

Not sure but it would be interesting to try a tool like Resource Hacker to accomplish the task.
