<p dir="ltr">Here's what little I have found so far:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. In the MS COFF spec, chapter 5.6.2 "Base Relocation Types", it is said that "The base relocation applies all 32 bits of the difference to the 32-bit field at offset", which I guess means that the relocation should take into account whatever address is already stored at the specified offset. However, chapter 5.6 (the .reloc section) is only relevant to image files, and not object files.<br>
2. The dumpbin utility adds a column named "Applied To" when printing the relocations table, which seems to always (no matter the relocation type) contain the value which is stored at the relocation site.<br>
3. The Relocation Directives chapter in the DJGPP COFF Specification clearly states that the value currently stored at the location should be added to the address of the symbol pointed to by the relocation table entry. However, it is DJGPP and not MS... </p>

If this isn't covered by the spec, we shouldn't use stackoverflow to figure<br>

I've seen this for SECREL and ADDR32NB relocations. Also, dumpbin has an "Applied To" column.<br>
<br>
For example, these are relocations for .pdata, generated by MSVC, denoting start and end for a 0x30 byte main() and it's unwind info:<br>
