- Subject: build id computation
For computing the build id following things are used:
- the ELF header, without e_phoff and e_shoff
- all segments content
- all sections content
Is there any particular reason for doing that?
I think that it would be enough to account only the load segments and/or the
allocated sections. Besides that the number of program or sections headers
should be ignored as well as the section header string table index.
Comments?
Regards,
Jan
