DyninstAPI

Branch states

This is the version 9.1 release of the Dyninst API. Currently, the API library is available for the POWER/Linux, x86/Linux, x86_64/Linux, and x86/Windows XP/2000/2003/Windows 7 platforms.

Documentation for the API can be found at:

http://www.dyninst.org/

The dyninst/dyninstAPI/tests directory contains the source code for programs that test the API functions. These programs are useful as examples of how to use the API. See the README file in that directory for how to run or rebuild them.

Setting up the environment

DYNINSTAPI_RT_LIB should be set to the full pathname of the file libdyninstAPI_RT.so (on Windows, libdyninstAPI_RT.dll).

On Unix-based systems, you will also need to add $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. On Windows, you will instead need to add %CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX%/lib to your PATH environment variable. This is so that mutator applications can be linked dynamically with the Dyninst library.

Notes on Using Dyninst with Linux

On Linux, Dyninst requires some libraries that are not installed by default in most distributions. The first is libelf, which is included with most distributions and can be installed using the distribution's package manager. The second is libdwarf. You can get the latest source code distribution of libdwarf from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdwarf/. RPM files for libdwarf are also available from various sites.

Building the Dyninst API from source
