using ld -wrap function to instrument

Hi All,

I am trying the wrap feature for the first time. I followed the instruction as mentioned in this link

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2000-09/msg00083.html

but I am getting an error saying "undefine reference to __wrap_malloc

I followed all the steps, but the post was a decade old, I am sure something has changed? or am I missing something.

Appreciate your time in help me out!

Hey,

I checked this feature on my system, and it works perfectly. This is what I did:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>



void *__real_malloc(size_t);



void *__wrap_malloc(size_t c)

{

        printf("My MALLOC called: %d\n", c);

        return __real_malloc(c);

}



int main (int argc, char *argv[])

{

        void *ptr = malloc(12);



        return 0;

}

And I compiled & run the code with:

Code:

[gcc wrap]$ gcc wrap.c -o wrap -Wl,-wrap,malloc

[gcc wrap]$ ./wrap

My MALLOC called: 12

I'm using

* gcc 4.4.3
* binutils 2.20.0.20091101

Maybe, you could post your code ...

May be your code needs extern “C”
