is there an easy way to trace some/all calls to a shared lib (if possible
without hacking the lib sources and add warppers there) similar to "strace"
for system calls ?
if there is no such tool/method available, I'd like to write wrapper functions
which can be preloaded using LD_PPRELOAD which should call the functions
in he original library then and generaet the "ltrace" output.
but how do I create e.g. a function "malloc" for the preload/wrapper library
which then should call "malloc" from the real shared libc without generating
a recursive call to itself (the wrapper function) ?
thanks for any hints...
Harald
PS: for now it would be possible to hack the according lib sources to
add code (if someone has tools for this for libc or similar...)
but I'd prefer a binary-only solution to be able to trace libs
without sources (e.g. libXm.2) too!
