Is there a simple way that I can lookup a symbol name(by address) during runtime? I know I can exec nm, look up for the address I need, and get local symbols, but it would be really nice if I could get addresses of functions in dynamic libraries as well. I know I could use ldd to get offsets of each .so and calculate from there, but I'm starting to think I'm reproducing work that was done somewhere else. If someone could point me at a man page to something that can do what I need, tell me of a library that does something similar, or tell me why this can't be done, i'd be very thankful. :) -- Kevin Day toasty@dragondata.com - kevin@stileproject.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
