dladdr: getting non-static symbols from within program

[PieterWinter]

Hi,

I'm trying to obtain symbol names from within a running program using dladdr() (using program counter values). The problem is that dladdr() [ on Solaris 2.6 and 2.8 ] only returns 'global' symbols and not 'local' ones.

I.e.

void globalFn(void) { ... }
static void staticFn(void) { ... }

when using dladdr on an address that resides in staticFn, it still returns globalFn.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get 'staticFn' in this case?

Thanks,
Pieter

look into the code of objdump.
