Sections in 64-bit Mode
• The assembler translates access rights into a set of read, write or
execute permissions for the section.
• The assembler ignores the sort key and quadrant attributes.
• The alignment attribute maps directly to the section alignment.
• The COMMON and DUP_COMM attributes map to a COMDAT section.
• The CODE_ONLY, FIRST, and FROZEN attributes are ignored.
• The UNLOADABLE attribute maps to a non-allocated section.
