musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
Go to file
Rich Felker b3ae7beabb adjust dladdr dli_fbase definition to match other implementations
the Linux and FreeBSD man pages for dladdr document dli_fbase as the
"base address" of the library/module found. normally (e.g. AT_BASE)
the term "base" is used to denote the base address relative to which
p_vaddr addresses are interpreted; however in the case of dladdr's
Dl_info structure, existing implementations define it as the lowest
address of the mapping, which makes sense in the context of
determining which module's memory range the input address falls
within.

since this is a nonstandard interface provided to mimic one provided
by other implementations, adjust it to match their behavior.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
