Hi,

I use a very simple program to test the first example of PatchAPI.

Unfortunately, the dyninst gets crash on this example. More

specifically, func->blocks() cause the system segment fault.

The code is pasted as follows, can someone give me some hint?

Thanks.

Can you send us a stack trace from gdb of the fault?

It seems likely that some of our parseAPI optimizations are not playing nicely with this example, and that we're assuming data structures are populated before they actually are. If adding co->parse() before you create the PatchObject eliminates the crash, that's a good way to check whether we're being inappropriately lazy.

ParseAPI::SymtabCodeSource *sts;
ParseAPI::CodeObject *co;
Address code_base = 0x8048000;

sts = new ParseAPI::SymtabCodeSource( argv[1] );
co = new ParseAPI::CodeObject( sts );

PatchObject *obj = PatchObject::create(co, code_base);

// Find all functions in the object
std::vector<PatchFunction*> all;
obj->funcs(back_inserter(all));

for (std::vector<PatchFunction*>::iterator fi = all.begin();
      fi != all.end(); fi++) {
   // Print out each function's name
   PatchFunction* func = *fi;
   std::cout << func->name() << std::endl;

   const PatchFunction::Blockset& blks = func->blocks();
   for (PatchFunction::BlockSet::iterator bi = blks.begin();
        bi != blks.end(); bi++) {
     // Print out each block's size
     PatchBlock* blk = *bi;
     std::cout << "\tBlock size:" << blk->size() << std::endl;
   }
}
