#1 linking of libfc.so with LD_PRELOAD

[Anonymous]

In V 1.4 it was possible to link the profiler lib on
demand via LD_PRELOAD. In V3 this seams to cause an
infinite recursion of fc_manager.

Please could you be more precise ?

Send me a concret example of the command
you type in order to allow me to
reproduce the problem.

Thank in advance.

If I build a instrumentet programm e.g.

foo.c:
void main() {}

gcc -finstrument-functions -o foo foo.c

then it was posible to link the profiler on demand like this

LD_PRELOAD=libfnccheck.so foo

however with v3

LD_PRELOAD=libfc.so foo

leads in starting fc_manager over and over again

Oh! Yes!
I see the problem!

libfc gives a '_init' function, which is called at the very
start of your program. In my opinion, the linker detects
several _init (one with the -lfc and one in the preload).
It is certainly the cause of the problem.

I will investigate and try to solve this problem.

I will keep you informed.

By the way, could you tell me what is the goal of using
LD_PRELOAD ?
