Elf Viewer can't display ELF file with only section headers and no program headers #13
Description
I have an ELF file that was converted from RPL (the Wii U's modified ELF format); when trying to view its information in Elf Viewer, I get a blank screen with the following error in the console:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "binja.py", line 803, in setView
self.focus_tab.widget(self.focus_tab.currentIndex()).setViewType(type)
File "/home/zhuowei/binaryninja-python/View.py", line 100, in setViewType
view = self.createView(type)
File "/home/zhuowei/binaryninja-python/View.py", line 84, in createView
view = type(self.data, self.filename, self, self.main_area)
File "/home/zhuowei/binaryninja-python/ElfFile.py", line 507, in __init__
super(ElfViewer, self).__init__(view.exe, filename, view, parent)
File "/home/zhuowei/binaryninja-python/HexEditor.py", line 61, in __init__
self.status = "Cursor: 0x%.8x" % self.data.start()
TypeError: %x format: a number is required, not NoneType
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 (32-bit) and using the latest version from the master branch.
The readelf output for the ELF file if that helps: https://gist.github.com/zhuowei/45d1eb080bc36dc34237
As one can see, there are no program headers in the file at all (RPLs are loaded through the section headers), so ElfFile.start() can't find a start address from the program headers and will return None.
