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

[Dimitar Dobrev]

    Hello all,

    I develop a project based on Clang where I need to read all symbols from a library. For symbols libraries (.a/.lib) I use the following code:

    auto &FM = C->getFileManager();
    ...
    auto Buffer = FM.getBufferForFile(FileEntry);
    ...
    auto Object = llvm::object::ObjectFile::createObjectFile(Buffer);

    This code crashes at the last line if the file in question is a shared object (.so). Apparently I need to use different code to parse a shared object but I have little idea what. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you for your time,
    Dimitar Dobrev
