 Alexandros Liarokapis | Hi all. Not sure if this is the proper Room to discuss this. I was thinking, maybe it would be worth enabling patchelf to change hard-coded paths in the text segment to relative ones, then provide symlinks in the $out folder.
This is an alternative to builfFHSEnv that should also work on Darwin (not with patchelf but similar)
not all of them obviously, something like by providing a map of transforms
it would also help with manual dlopens | 10:01:42 |
 Minijackson | Can it work? Doesn't this mess up pointers to the text segment? | 11:10:54 |
 nbp | Most of the time no. | 12:04:01 |
| nbp | * (patching path of different length) Most of the time no. | 12:04:30 |
| Minijackson | how so? I would assume that the program knows the start address and the length of the string, so we can't put longer strings without having to shift the rest, and shorter strings aren't guaranteed to work either | 12:08:12 |
| nbp | the program yes, the patching tool probably does not. | 12:23:58 |
| nbp | then you have different encoding, depending on the language, and other variables that would have to be shifted otherwise, assumption on the addresses … | 12:25:46 |
