Running program yields this error:

'2626 cannot locate 'ZNKSs5cstrEv'…' with c++filt you can decode the symbol.

# c++filt _ZNKSs5c_strEv

c++filt decodes that symbol to

std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::c_str() const

This function might not be available…

To find the function inside the library:

objdump -xxx binary

Some libs have the option be compiled with Debug enabled. Check:

  ./configure --help 
  

Look for –enable-debug option.

Run program with GDB

On host:

  gdb ./program
  run
  

On remote with gdbserver.

 nm -C mymlib.a
 
 ar -vt /usr/lib/libnsl.a | head 5
