[LLVMdev] How to get the symbols from a .so file?

[Alexey Samsonov]

Hi Dimitar,

This is pretty weird that createObjectFile() doesn't work. What errors do
you observe? You may take a look at a various LLVM commandline tools that
walk the symbol table of the file for inspiration.
See tools/llvm-nm/llvm-nm.cpp for example. (it uses createBinary())
function.
