- Update to git rev 6c6bcc3
** Prototype libraries
- Each DSO can now ship an ltrace config file (called prototype
library) that ltrace will open when that DSO is loaded to process
image. See ltrace(1) for details.
- ltrace.conf is no longer part of installation tarball. Instead,
we now ship libc.so.conf, libm.so.conf, libacl.so.conf, and
syscalls.conf. Those are now istalled to /usr/share/ltrace by
default. /etc/ltrace.conf and $HOME/.ltrace.conf are still
loaded if present, and can contain arbitrary user configuration.
- The option -F was retrofitted to be a colon-separated list of
prototype libraries, and directories to look for prototype
libraries in. On Linux, ltrace looks into XDG_CONFIG_HOME,
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, and /usr/share/ltrace as well.
- Wide character strings are supported in prototypes. Use "string"
lens as usual, but use array of integers as underlying type.
libc.so.conf now contains prototypes of wide character functions.
- Sole void function parameter such as in the following example, is
now considered obsolete:
| int fork(void); |
This use is still accepted, taken to mean "hide(int)", but
produces a warning, and will be removed in future.
- Prototypes are now read from DWARF debug info, if available. This
complements the data available in config files
** Architectural support
- MIPS and MIPSel are now handled by the same backend.
- ARMv6, ARMv7 and ARMv8 (AArch64) are supported, including full
fetch backend. ARMv8 backend doesn't support tracing of 32-bit
binaries, as currently there's no 32-bit userspace available for
ARM64 processors. (forwarded request 247286 from AndreasSchwab)
