Question

I am facing SIGEV with this malloc wrapper code, can anybody please help me?

enter code here
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void *handle;
static void* (*ef_libc_malloc) (size_t);
static void* (*ef_libc_calloc) (size_t, size_t);
static void init1() __attribute__ ((constructor));

void *malloc(size_t size)
{
 return (*ef_libc_malloc)(size);
}

void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size)
{
 return (*ef_libc_calloc)(nmemb, size);
}

void init1()
{

 //handle=dlopen("/devel/lib/libc.so.6",RTLD_LAZY);
 handle=dlopen("libc.so.6",RTLD_LAZY);
 if(!handle) {
 printf("dlopen failed\n");
exit(1);    
  }
 ef_libc_malloc = dlsym(handle, "malloc"); 
 if(!ef_libc_malloc) {
 printf("Could not resolve malloc in libc.so\n");
  }

  ef_libc_calloc = dlsym(handle, "calloc"); 
  if(!ef_libc_calloc) {
 printf("Could not resolve calloc in libc.so\n");
  }
 }

  int main()
  {
   char *ptr;

   ptr=(char*)malloc(20);
   strcpy(ptr,"jghjghbj");
   puts(ptr);
  }

Here is the GDB backtrace:

 (gdb) q
 The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y

I am not able to find the root cause. Please help me to fix this issue.

Looks like loading libc.so at the wrong time is causing the problem. Try without loading it:

dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "malloc");
