Re: LD_PRELOAD problem

Hi Tanel

I have run nm against the file and it gives an output of 12699 lines with this structure:

Symbols from libavanzasiebel.sl:

Name                    Value   Scope  Type    Subspace

$$divI_10           |    464420|extern|milli  |$MILLICODE$
$$divI_12           |    464508|extern|milli  |$MILLICODE$
$$divI_14           |    464944|extern|milli  |$MILLICODE$
$$divI_15           |    464564|extern|milli  |$MILLICODE$
$$divI_16           |    464128|extern|milli  |$MILLICODE$

I guess name is the function name? How can I check what function is being highjacked?

I ran nm against sqlplus and it shows this:

Symbols from /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus:

[Index]    Value                  Size    Type  Bind  O Shndx    Name

[0]      |                     0|       0|NOTYP|LOCAL|0|   UNDEF|
[29983]  |   4611686018440130704|       0|MILLI|GLOB |0|   .text|$$div2I
[29986]  |   4611686018440131056|       0|MILLI|GLOB |0|   .text|$$div2U

Probably the best thing is compare the name of both outputs?

Thanks
