[PATCH v3 13/19] libctf: lookups by name and symbol

Nick Alcock nick.alcock@oracle.com
Fri May 24 20:11:00 GMT 2019


These functions allow you to look up types given a name in a simple
subset of C declarator syntax (no function pointers), to look up the
types of variables given a name, and to look up the types of data
objects and the type signatures of functions given symbol table offsets.

(Despite its name, one function in this commit, ctf_lookup_symbol_name(),
is for the internal use of libctf only, and does not appear in any
public header files.)

Changes from v1:
 - Correct erroneous license (GPLv2+ -> v3+) and reset copyright years.
 - Move ctf_lookup_symbol_name() declaration from an earlier commit in
   the series.
 - Migrate from <gelf.h> to libctf-internal <elf.h>: we still look up
   symbols by hand, though, because we have to be able to look up
   symbols when the caller of ctf_bufopen() passes us raw symtabs and
   strtabs in buffers
