Hi,
I need for profiler to avoid calling dlopen() in backtrace().
First problem is AS safety.
Second problem is that if I hook function called by dlopen() and
supply its implementation by dlopen() then I get infinite loop.
Proper solution would be convince libgcc to supply unwind_stack as a
macro or link libgcc staticaly.
Otherwise I need to add checking if malloc and dlopen locks are held.
For rtld corresponding line is following.
__rtld_lock_lock_recursive (GL(dl_load_lock));
How is dl_load_lock visible?
