As for the meaning of the values, see the documentation in link.h: ---- /* The value returned by this function increments by at least 1 when objects are added to the list visited by dl_iterate_phdr(). This function is not serialized with respect to dl_iterate_phdr(). If serialization is needed, this function should be called from within a dl_itereate_phdr() callback. */ extern unsigned long int dl_phdr_additions_counter (void); /* The vaue returned by this function increments by at least 1 when objects are removed from the list visited by dl_iterate_phdr(). This function is not serialized with respect to dl_iterate_phdr(). If serialization is needed, this function should be called from within a dl_itereate_phdr() callback. */ extern unsigned long int dl_phdr_removals_counter (void); ---- I'll add a comment about the possibility of overflows. --david
