[Tinycc-devel] dlopen crashes when loading shared object

[Ryan Mansfield]

Hello, 

I have a problem where when I try to load a shared object created by tcc, it 
crashes in dl_sym. If shared object is built with gcc, the crash does not occur.

tcc version 0.9.20

Testcase:

address@hidden:~/503$ cat reduced.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

int main() {
    static char *code[] = {
                          "int test(int tmp, int tmp2, char *fp, char *ip, char 
*sp ) {",
                          "int i; i = i + i;", "i++;", "i = i&&i;",
                          "printf(\"hello\");",
                          "}",
                          NULL};
    char filename[] = {"test.c"};
    char *array;
    char **ptr;
    FILE *fd;
    int i;
    fd = fopen("test.c", "w");
    for(ptr=code; *ptr; ptr++) {
      fprintf(fd, "%s\n", *ptr);
    }
    fclose(fd);
    system("tcc -shared -rdyanmic -o test.so test.c");
    void* handle = dlopen("./test.so", RTLD_LAZY);
    if (!handle) {
        printf("Cannot open library: %s\n",dlerror());
        return 1;
    }
    typedef void (*hello_t)();
    hello_t hello = (hello_t) dlsym(handle, "test");
    if (!hello) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Cannot load symbol 'hello': %\n",  dlerror());
        dlclose(handle);
        return 1;
    }
    hello();
    dlclose(handle);
}

If I compile the .so with gcc, it works fine.

If anyone could provide any help I would greatly appreciate.it.
