Yes because printf will invoke malloc which will call your wrapper which will call printf etc etc until the stack is exhausted.
You can't use anything in your wrapper that might use malloc. Tom On 12/07/18 13:07, shuai xi wrote:

Yes if you want to wrap the function rather than replacing it then use the _WRAP_ macros and then your wrapper can get the original address and call it.
