Dependency walker (depends.exe) shows a 'Hint' column for exported functions. As far as I understand the Portable Executable format, exported functions do not have hint. Can someone tell me whether or not exported functions have hint? Actually, only imported functions should have hint..

thanks.

A: 

Apparently not - see here. I suspect Dependency Walker is calculating the hint for the export 'to be nice'.

Thanks for the link to the PE/COFF specification. I love this specification. This is what I thought. Dependency walker makes it nice...but since Hint do not exit for exported functions, it shows incorrect data.
