Thanks for replying.
I mean for example,
void myprintf(const char* ptr) {
printf("%p\n", ptr);
}
int main() {
myprintf("hello world");
}
Let's say the output is 0x403DE.
Does it mean that Elf64_Shdr::sh_addr of the string table (of .rodata)
+ the offset of "hello word" within the string table is guaranteed to
be the virtual address 0x403DE? As I am not sure whether virtual
memory addresses of all string literals are defined/calculated when
ELF is created.
Thanks!
Cheers
