During port of libbacktrace code from gcc compiler I found that I need to be able to read a.out or similar file in runtime. This library try to read original executable file and parse it for functions addresses/etc, as a part of garbage collection for golang (it parse call stack in some specific way using gcc-specific calls).
I have to port to genode the following code from src/lib/gcc/libbacktrace/fileline.c:
for (pass = 0; pass < 5; ++pass) { int does_not_exist;
switch (pass){ case 0: filename = state->filename; break; case 1: filename = getexecname (); break; case 2: filename = "/proc/self/exe"; break; case 3: filename = "/proc/curproc/file"; break; case 4: snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), "/proc/%ld/object/a.out", (long) getpid ()); filename = buf; break; default: abort (); }
best idea is to implement library call getexecname(), e.g. as a part of libc.
Your parent needs a ROMFile capability to run your program. Ask it for that capability to read your own file. You can call that RPC getexecname or whatever strikes your fancy. Of course you would have to extend the official interface to the parent else your program could be started from a component that doesn't implement that function. Or you can write a wrapper that guarantees to implement that function and start your program exclusively with that wrapper. You can call your wrapper "go run" or whatever strikes your fancy.
Anyway, this is complex question, because we need to be able to open it and read a content later. How to configure this in run file?
PS for better understanding why I need this - call stack where it is called, from gdb:
