Hi,
Does anyone know of an Ada library that extracts ELF header
information from a binary? Anyone got any suggestions on how to do it
if I can't find a library?
I had thought of piping the output of an 'ELF examiner' tool to a file
and then reading in the contents of the file....seems like a bit of a
hack though!
Cheers in advance,
James

Gnu binutils provides a C library for reading/writing ELF. You
should be able to write an Ada binding pretty easily.

How about something like
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/bfdada/
(Not really sure of its status)

I wrote such a thing as part of an aborted SPARC compiler project many years
ago. But I don't know for sure what happened to it (or if it would be
useful on a different platform - as I recall there were a number of
target-dependent parts).
