Hello, thanks for the response.
The problem I found with ldd was it would only give me the shared objects
linked in at runtime and I needed the list of dlopen()'d objects as well.
On Linux I was able to grab a reference to the link_map list and iterated
through that. Matthew George on the list pointed me to dlinfo(3) which can
return a reference into the link_map list. From my tests this appears to
contain all dlopen()'d libraries as well (also the executable itself,
btw). It also appears to be cleaner than the hack I'm using in Linux to get
the same reference. ;-)
Cheers,
Mike
