Hi,
We have an application which (unfortunately) loads a ton of shared
libraries. Typically, we are only interested in debugging a small subset of
these libraries. We use a combination of "set auto-solib-add off" and
"sharedlibrary" commands to only load a selected set of symbols.
However, the "sharedlibrary" command can only be issued after the
executable actually loads the shared library. This is a bit of an annoyance.
I was hoping that I could therefore use the Python events.new_objfile
listener to issue a sharedlibrary command if we detect that a library of
interest is loaded. However, it looks like this particular event just does
not fire if "set auto-solib-add off" is set.
Is there a Python API which I can use to get notified that a new shared
library is loaded by the inferior (even if no symbols have been loaded for
that shared library)?
Regards,
Srinath
