How to see of which objects files is particular shared library made of?

I mean, ldd libname.so gives information only about the dependencies between the shared libraries. How can one get the list of object files which are linked into the library?

If I understand you correctly then I'd say that you'll need to go to the source, or documentation for that information

.so doesn't keep the information, AFAIK. You can see the list of symbols using readelf, that should help in most cases.
.a files keep the sources.

Hi -

Just FYI,

Quote:

nm -A mysharedlib.so

and

Quote:

nm mystaticlib.a

will both let you see the exported symbols, and the required imports.

But, as the previous posters already said, the shared .so library doesn't retain any information about either the original source files, nor the intermediate .o objects.

'Hope that helps .. PSM
