Synopsis
ltrace enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
An updated ltrace package that adds support for tracing of 32-bit binaries
on AMD64 systems is now available.
Description
The ltrace utility is a debugging program that runs a specified command
until the command exits. While the command is executing, ltrace intercepts
and records both the dynamic library calls called by the executed process
and the signals received by the executed process. Ltrace can also intercept
and print system calls executed by the process.
This update adds support for tracing both 64-bit and 32-bit binaries on
AMD64 by the same ltrace binary, as well as fixes some bugs in the 64-bit
binary tracing support.
All users of ltrace should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
