Well, yes, dlinfo() would be very useful, if it was not for my wish to read the link_map from another proces, using ptrace(). I've looked at rtld-elf.c, to see what dlinfo() does: it finds the object by the given address and then 'returns' the link_map for that object. However, I can't find out where this info would be in the memory image of a running process. Apparantly the objects the loader keeps info on, are in a linked list, 'obj_list', which is a global var of rtld-elf.c. Would this mean the info I'm trying to find is on the stack of the dynamic linker and therefor can't be found as long as I don't know where the linker is loaded into memory? Sounds like a chicken-and-egg problem in that case. If so, that would make things suckier than they already are, since I'm actually working on a Linux binary/libs, running on FreeBSD at the moment.. I hope(d) there was/is a generic method for all ELF binaries available, but if not, I'd better bug the Linux people a bit. -- Pieter de Boer _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
