Hi guys,
I need to intercept some system calls, and then wrap the results into my
bigger lazarus application. I have a skeleton C library that can
intercept the functions (using LD_PRELOAD). This code is very incomplete
however.
So now I have two choices
1) I write the missing parts in C, and then let my app merely handle output
2) I rewrite the C library as a lazarus library, and then build that.
I would prefer the latter, but before I go to all that trouble, I felt
it is worth checking if lazarus libraries will even WORK with LD_PRELOAD
(I can't imagine they won't but it's worth checking). The functions in
question are part of glibc socket handling. Very similar (though I doubt
identical) to some of the things in the fpc sockets unit - the c-library
only imports the socket.h header, is this the same as the fpc sockets unit ?
Ciao
