I built this library:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root phil 257918 Mar 2 00:25 /usr/local/lib/libh.so.0.2.0
When I try to run programs to test it, most of them die with segmentation
fault or bus error and core dump. Inserting fprintf(stderr,...) calls
in various places shows the failures always occur calling one of the
functions in the library. An fprintf right before the call gets its
data displayed. An fprintf which is the first thing in the function
never does. I did some ktrace to see what might be happening and I found
this part that looks funny:
8326 linesort CALL open(0x8020b52,0,0)
8326 linesort NAMI "/usr/local/lib/libh.so.0.2.0"
8326 linesort RET open 5
8326 linesort CALL read(0x5,0xf7fff408,0x20)
8326 linesort GIO fd 5 read 32 bytes
"\M-_(_at_)_\M^J\^A\v\0\^B\M-@\0\0\0 \0\0\0\0\0\0\0Xt\0\0\0 \0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"
8326 linesort RET read 32/0x20
8326 linesort CALL mmap(0,0x2e000,0x5,0x4,0x5,0,0,0)
8326 linesort RET mmap 134365184/0x8024000
8326 linesort CALL mprotect(0x8050000,0x2000,0x7)
8326 linesort RET mprotect 0
8326 linesort CALL mmap(0x8052000,0,0x7,0x1014,0xffffffff,0,0,0)
8326 linesort RET mmap 134553600/0x8052000
8326 linesort CALL close(0x5)
8326 linesort RET close 0
The call to mmap() uses a size of 188416 instead of mapping the whole
library. I just want to confirm that this is mapping right amount
since the problem seems like the library isn't even loaded or the
functions are linked or relocated wrong (but surely such an error
would be more catastrophic well beyond my use, so I'm ruling that
out).
What could be tested next? Are there any debuggers besides gdb?
Is there anything to simply run an untrapped instruction trace?
