Description Phil Muldoon 2006-10-17 19:39:25 UTC

elf_begin is correctly called

gelf_newehdr(elf,gelf_getclass(elf)) might be incorrectly used as elf does not
know its own wordsize yet, so it may be returning 64bit always. We might have to
manually override the gelf_getclass() call and provide our own wordsize indicator

Comment 1 Phil Muldoon 2006-10-18 15:37:14 UTC

As suspected, using gelf_getclass() on an empty structure won't work (or
magically know what arch size you are on). When creating the Elf Header (and
only the Elf Header) with gelf a class has to be specified regarding ELFCLASS32
or ELFCLASS64. We can derive from wordsize which correct value to give to gelf
for initial header generation.

        * Elf.java (createNewEHeader): Require a wordsize.

        * cni/Elf.cxx (elf_newehdr): Specify wordsize.
        gelf_getclass() for wordsize won't work on an empty elf struct.
