Writing PE header

[mazegen]

It seems it is not possible to write, for example, the NumberOfSymbols in ImageFileHeader. I could write it in the OnWriterEvent listener using DestinationStream.Write() but that feels clumsy.

Are there plans to add more setters to the ImageFileHeader class?

And thank you for dnlib, awesome work!

Since the code doesn't write to PointerToSymbolTable, there's no option to write anything other than 0 to NumberOfSymbols. Do you just want to write to NumberOfSymbols without writing to PointerToSymbolTable?

Yes, I want to store an information there that has nothing to do with symbols.

And I also wonder what is your position on this. Perhaps you think that high-level writes to PE header with garbage values is not right because dnlib should verify the values before they are written, therefore it shall not be allowed, and if one wants to rewrite the header bad enough, he can use the listener.

I think you should be able to write garbage if that's what you want. dnlib shouldn't stop you from doing that.

Many thanks for the fix and the explanation!
