Hi Jianping,

I tried to use objcopy to rename symbol of a Mircosoft C++ object file:
objcopy --redefine-sym _foo=_bar f1.obj

objcopy crashed with the error message:
1 [main] objcopy 656 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

objcopy --info
BFD header file version 2.15.94 20041229

Do you know why it crashed? Thank you for your help!

Not off the top of my head no. But 2.15.94 is now an old release. Version 2.16 of the binutils has been released, so I would definitely recommend downloading those sources and building yourself a new copy of objcopy. If it still crashes then please could you supply us with a *small* test case that reproduces the problem.

Cheers
  Nick
