Agner Fog's objconv utility 2.03 has just been released. It supports conversions between object file types (OMF<->COFF<->ELF<->Mach-O). This latest release is significant for users of DMD - Windows, since it is the first one which can disassemble OMF files containing COMDAT sections - which means every .obj file produced by DMD Windows. It cannot do everything which Walter's obj2asm can do, but it does have a comprehensive disassembler which includes all x87, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4, SSE5, AVX, and FMA instructions. So many D programmers should find it useful. Source code is released under the GPL. The support for COMDAT, and testing for DMD was done by me. Everything else is by Agner. Download it from http://www.agner.org/optimize/ in the section "Object File Converter".

Thanks to you and agner. I use this tool all the time for my ms-vs coff to omf conversions.

Hi, I'm a newbie to D and this tool. I'm trying to convert an .OBJ file compiled in MSVC to OMF-format so that I can link to it from my D code. I get no errors in the conversion. But when I try to link to the OMF OBJ-file I get these errors: Error 42: Symbol Undefined __RTC_Shutdown Error 42: Symbol Undefined __RTC_InitBase Error 42: Symbol Undefined __RTC_CheckEsp Anyone know what's going on here? I would be grateful for any tips. Another problem I have is when I try to convert the MSCV compiled OBJ-file to OMF-format, but this time it's been compiled in release mode, I get the following error: Error 2006: Unsupported file type for file Main2.obj: Whole program optimization intermediate file, Microsoft specific Could this be caused by the fact that objconv doesn't support this case?

This is the problem with converting object files - even if you can convert it, you still have to deal with the fact that compilers will insert all kinds of dependencies on other libraries and objects that you don't know about. Compilers will also make assumptions about the way things are linked, and so even if you are able to convert the object, it might not work.Another problem I have is when I try to convert the MSCV compiled OBJ-file to OMF-format, but this time it's been compiled in release mode, I get the following error: Error 2006: Unsupported file type for file Main2.obj: Whole program optimization intermediate file, Microsoft specific Could this be caused by the fact that objconv doesn't support this case?Uh, yeah, that's pretty much exactly what the error message says. "Unsupported" means "I don't support this" ;)

It's not really that much of a problem though. Just project->properties in ms vs and change a few options then it's plain sailing. Can't remember what it was though and it may of been a multiple of things but try code generation->buffer secuirty check off.

Thanks for the tip. That setting didn't do it, but changing Basic Runtime Checks to Default did it. Thanks for the help :-) Best regards, /Esa Tim M Wrote:It's not really that much of a problem though. Just project->properties in ms vs and change a few options then it's plain sailing.
