Vtable Dumper
Vtable-Dumper — a tool to list content of virtual tables in a C++ shared library.
Contents
About
The tool is intended for developers of software libraries and maintainers of Linux distributions who are interested in ensuring backward binary compatibility.
The tool is developed by Andrey Ponomarenko.
Install
sudo make install prefix=/usr
Requires
- libelf
- libdl
- libstdc++
Usage
vtable-dumper SHLIB
Example
vtable-dumper /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
Note
Make sure that all dependencies of a target library can be found by ldd. Otherwise
dlopen() may fail. Add paths to these libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in this case.
