Interactive inspection of dynamic linking and loading

Lucia Cojocaru, Razvan adrian Deaconescu · 2016

Dynamic linking and loading are some of the most obscure processes which happen when an executable is run. Tracing processes by means of debuggers is a complex task which is not suitable for inexperienced users. We present DynInspector, an interactive inspection tool with a user-friendly graphical user interface that eases the understanding of dynamic linking and loading. DynInspector offers support for viewing relevant areas of the program memory by making use of the existing functionality of debuggers. DynInspector is to be used by students in computer-related topics and hobbyists, in order to gain a better understanding on the subject of dynamic linking and loading and ino order to support the teaching of technical topics.
