About

The tool is intended for developers of software libraries and maintainers of Linux distributions who are interested in ensuring backward binary compatibility.

The tool is developed by Andrey Ponomarenko.

Install

sudo make install prefix=/usr
Requires
  • libelf
  • libdl
  • libstdc++

Usage

vtable-dumper SHLIB
Example
vtable-dumper /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
Note

Make sure that all dependencies of a target library can be found by ldd. Otherwise dlopen() may fail. Add paths to these libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in this case.

Options
Option Desc

-demangled Show de-mangled symbol names
