NAME: Vtable-Dumper - a tool to list content of virtual tables in a C++ shared library It 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: http://abi-laboratory.pro/ INSTALL: sudo make install prefix=/usr REQUIRES: libelf libdl libstdc++ USAGE: vtable-dumper SHLIB EXAMPLE: vtable-dumper /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 OPTIONS: -mangled Show mangled symbol names -demangled Show de-mangled symbol names -help Display this help message -dumpversion Print the tool version and don't do anything else 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.
