Hi, I'm using dlopen(NULL,x) to get a handle on the executable I am running. This works fine. I'm then using dlsym() to attempt to get at the symbols in the executable. This works, but returns NULL for all symbols I try to get. I think the problem is the following: 00807098 T _symbol_I_want I think the 'T' needs to be a 'D' to enable dlsym() to find it? I have been attempting to make this symbol take on a D by using different methods, e.g. dlltool, ld and gcc options, but have had no luck. Is there a simple way to do this? Ideally I would like to be able to do something like: __export_this int symbol_I_want(void) {} And make it get exported in the declaration. Otherwise a simple tool that will work like this could be very very cool: makedynamic -e '.*_I_want' wanted.o Am I on the right/wrong track O'great ones?
