Raymond Chen explains hot-patching an already-hot-patched function
Original: If somebody tries to hot-patch an already-hot-patched function https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20261005-00/?p
A new entry in Microsoft's Old New Thing blog by longtime developer Raymond Chen walks through what happens when someone attempts to hot-patch a Windows function that has already been hot-patched. The post dives into the low-level mechanics of binary patching on Windows, and programmers on Hacker News are sharing and discussing the technical details.
Why now: Developers enjoy Raymond Chen's deep dives into Windows internals, and hot-patching is a niche but timely topic given Microsoft's recent hotpatching push.
