Hi
I want to get a address of a function at runtime by using dlsym. This
is the sample code i have written.
(This is a sample code. In actual implementation _CreateVirtualProcess
in a seperate shared library)

//--Main.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#ifdef SUNOS
#include <sys/filio.h>
#else
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#endif

extern "C" pid_t _CreateVirtualProcess(void (*func)(int))
{
/*Implementation*/
return getpid();
}

pid_t __CreateVituralProcess(void (*func)(int))
{
static pid_t (*_create_virtual_process)(void (*)(int)) = NULL;
if (_create_virtual_process == NULL)
{
char* zdlerror = dlerror();
void *p = dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT,
"_CreateVirtualProcess");
_create_virtual_process = (pid_t (*)(void (*)(int)))p;
if ((zdlerror = dlerror()) != NULL)
{
fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", zdlerror);
return -1;
}
}
return (*_create_virtual_process)(func);
}
int main ()
{
printf("pid = %d\n", __CreateVituralProcess(NULL));
return 0;
}
In Solaris SPARC (5.9) with g++ (3.4.6)  i build it by g++ -ott
Main.cpp -DSUNOS.
when executing it fails by giving "ld.so.1: stt: fatal:
_CreateVituralProcess: can't find symbol"..

but Solaris x86 (5.10) with g++ (3.4.3) its working fine.
i tried it in red hat linux with g++ (3.2.3 ) also failed.

what went wrong there ? how should i correct the problem ?

Thank you..

That's hard to believe:

$ g++ -ott junk.cpp -DSUNOS
Undefined                       first referenced
symbol                             in file
dlsym                               /tmp/cck2dqmb.o  (symbol belongs to impl
icit dependency /usr/lib/libdl.so.1)
dlerror                             /tmp/cck2dqmb.o  (symbol belongs to impl
icit dependency /usr/lib/libdl.so.1)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to tt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

After adding required '-ldl':

$ g++ junk.cpp -ott -DSUNOS -ldl && ./tt
pid = 10854

Hard to tell, since your "story" doesn't appear to be consistent.

thanks Paul
Whats the OS did u use ? Solaris SPARC or x86 ?
In my case it works with Solaris x86 but no with solaris SPARC.

What I am trying to say here is that the info you provided does
not appear to be correct. Did you *really* build with the command
above? If so, perhaps your g++ was configured --with-gnu-ld ?

Output from 'g++ -v' may provide clues.

Solaris 8, 9 and 10 on SPARC all give the same result for me.
