I'm wondering if there's an alternative to strace. I have a program that

[/* 32 vars */]) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
It's like it's dying before it even gets going. Maybe a library is
screwed up?
I didn't know you could run a library file like that. Try doing strace
-f to capture any child process or thread activity.
from what I understand, you should call a library from an external app
most libraries, when called directly, will segfault right away. If your
goal is to troubleshoot that specific lib, use ltrace (which is like
strace but for libraries)
Any help appreciated.
