Wang Weijun,
1. RTLD_DEFAUL call is expensive and dangerous because it cause symbol
search across all loaded images. So it can pick up something absolutely
irrelevant to your expectations at any time.
If you decide to play to this game, you have to use dladdr to check the
origin of a symbol and try to guess whether it is what you are looking
for or not.
Please dlopen(libSystem.dylib, RTLD_NOW) and search through it only.
2. You shouldn't rely on return value of dlopen() or dlsym(). Call
dlerror() and check whether it returns error or NULL.
PS:
What is the goal of using a getentropy ?
