Re: [DynInst_API:] Stack protection error on ubuntu

[Rishikesh Naik <rishinaik9@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,

Sorry for not replying earlier. 

I had used DISABLE-STACK-PROT earlier as well. That was a typo. Yes, I had done make distclean everytime I tried to reinstall. 

I don't have any logs with me now but I had checked earlier that there was no -fno-stack-protector in those messages. So, I had manually added this flag in CFLAGS in make.config file. Then it showed up in the log. But, even after doing that , I was not successful in running the sample application.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks for your reply. Well, I have given up on trying with ubuntu. I somehow managed to get it work on Fedora. So, it's fine for me right now. And yes, about the createProcess and attachProcess APIs, I read the manual of DyninstAPI 5.2 in which it is written that these APIs are deprecated and should not be used. Instead, processCreate and processAttach should be used.

You're doing the correct thing here, processCreate and processAttach are the new functions that you should be using.

Anyways, thanks a lot for your help. If I face any other problems, I'll post it on mailing-list.

This mailing list isn't actively monitored by the Dyninst team.  I'd recommend sending any problems you have to bugs@xxxxxxxxxxx.

I sent some suggestions to you off list about getting ubuntu working.  Did these help?
