Dear Gcc-help, I want to embed an image into an executable. I managed to do it by running "ld -r -b binary -o blob.o blob.png" on the blob.png file, thus creating a blob.o that I can link into my main program. I have access to the binary blob by declaring an extern variable: extern char _binary_blob_png_start []; Normally I know the size of the blob I just linked in. But suppose I didn't. Is there a way I can determine it from within the C program? I know that by running "objdump -x blob.o" I can see the symbol table on the obj file, and that the symbols _binary_blob_png_end and _binary_blob_png_size are also defined: SYMBOL TABLE: 0000000000000000 l d .data 0000000000000000 .data 0000000000000400 g .data 0000000000000000 _binary_blob_png_end 0000000000000000 g .data 0000000000000000 _binary_blob_png_start 0000000000000400 g *ABS* 0000000000000000 _binary_blob_png_size I assumed that _binary_blob_png_end was a pointer to the end of the blob, but it doesn't seem so. Also, I always get a segfault if I assume that _binary_blob_png_size is an integer value. Thank you!! Jean __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
