Hi there,
apparently ltrace 0.8 wasn't released at the end of February as I had
wished. I would still like to make a release relatively soon, and as a
first step I merged two branches that I meant to merge for a long time
now.
- pmachata/config changes the way ltrace looks for config files. Each
library can now provide its own config file. Every time a library is
mapped in, ltrace looks whether a custom config file is provided. We
look for $SONAME.conf, or $BASENAME.conf, if SONAME is not available.
If we find a file, we read it, and use the found prototypes to format
calls in that library.
I wrote about this back in December, see [2].
- pmachata/arm adds support for ARM machines.
The above two merges touch quite a bit of code (the overall diffstat is
about +4.8 -1.6KLOC), and most likely breaks some things, so please
test. The ARM branch in particular messes with breakpoints, and I'm not
at all sure whether I haven't broken MIPS.
Thanks,
PM
