i think it would be more idiomatic to do:
table.real_name = bytes.pread::<&str>(string_table_offset + idx).ok().map(String::to_owned);the real question is whether:
- It should be considered a fatal error if the name is not utf8
- we should log on error, in which case keeping the
if let Okis better

Sorry it took me so long to reply!
As far as I understand, real_name is stored in COFF String Table, but there is nothing stated about the encoding. However? for Symbol Name the following is stated:
By convention, the names are treated as zero-terminated UTF-8 encoded strings.
Maybe, it can be applied to real_name, too?
However, I do not consider it to be a fatal error, so maybe we should stick to if let Ok?

While trying to parse a particular PE file, I stumbled across an
"invalid utf8"error coming from Section Table Real Name. However hard I tried I couldn't find the problem with the file itself. But this simple change in the source code ofparse()function finally worked.
