Downgrading from gcc 3.2.1 to gcc 2.96

Downgrading from gcc 3.2.1 to gcc 2.96

[puneet girdhar]

Hi ,
I was using following code on gcc 3.2.1 on Linux.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

int main()
{
        char dll_name[100];
        void * handle;
        //lt_dlhandle hndl;
        printf("which lib u want to print :");
        scanf("%s",&dll_name);
        printf("%s\n",dll_name);
        handle = dlopen(dll_name,RTLD_LAZY);
        Dl_info info;
        void * gotaddr;
        gotaddr=dlsym(handle,"_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_");
        dladdr(gotaddr,&info);
        printf("value of filename is
%s\n",info.dli_fname);
        return 0;
}


This code was working fine with gcc 3.2.1. Now i want
to use this code with gcc 2.96 on linux. But it gives
the following error:

a.cpp: In function `int main ()':
a.cpp:13: `Dl_info' undeclared (first use this
function)
a.cpp:13: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once for each 
function it appears in.)
a.cpp:13: parse error before `;'
a.cpp:16: `info' undeclared (first use this function)
a.cpp:16: `dladdr' undeclared (first use this
function)

What is way to run this code on gcc 2.96?

Thanks
Puneet

Have you already had a look at the dlfcn.h header file? Dl_info is
only defined when the __USE_GNU preprocessor macro is defined.

It seems GCC 3.x defines this macro when invoked as g++ or if the
source file is identified as c++ code. Otherwise it also doesn't.
