Cannot access to parsed_pe::internal in IDEs in C++

Hi @pol4bear!

The non-inclusion of internal structures in pe-parse's headers is intentional. This sounds like a shortcoming of your IDE, not pe-parse itself -- most IDEs should be able to resolve past a forward-declared structure.

To clarify: if what you're looking for is a public (i.e. non-internal) API that gets you access to the section count, you can throw one together with IterSec.

Something like this (not tested):

int countSec(void *cbd, VA secBase, std::string &secName, image_section_header s, bounded_buffer *data) {
  uint64_t *counter = reinterpret_cast<uint64_t *>(cbd);
  (*counter)++;
  return 0;
}

and then, to register the callback:

uint64_t counter = 0;
IterSec(pe, countSec, &counter);
