// Header file to contain porting-relevant code which does not have a
// home anywhere else and which can not go into os_<platform>.h because
// that header is included inside the os class definition, hence all
// its content is part of the os class.

// Aix' own version of dladdr().
// This function tries to mimick dladdr(3) on Linux
// (see http://linux.die.net/man/3/dladdr)
// dladdr(3) is not POSIX but a GNU extension, and is not available on AIX.
//
// Differences between AIX dladdr and Linux dladdr:
//
// 1) Dl_info.dli_fbase: can never work, is disabled.
//   A loaded image on AIX is divided in multiple segments, at least two
//   (text and data) but potentially also far more. This is because the loader may
//   load each member into an own segment, as for instance happens with the libC.a
// 2) Dl_info.dli_sname: This only works for code symbols (functions); for data, a
//   zero-length string is returned ("").
// 3) Dl_info.dli_saddr: For code, this will return the entry point of the function,
//   not the function descriptor.

typedef struct {
  const char *dli_fname; // file path of loaded library
  // void *dli_fbase;
  const char *dli_sname; // symbol name; "" if not known
  void *dli_saddr;       // address of *entry* of function; not function descriptor;
} Dl_info;

// The semantics in this file are thus that codeptr_t is a *real code ptr*.
// This means that any function taking codeptr_t as arguments will assume
// a real codeptr and won't handle function descriptors (eg getFuncName),
// whereas functions taking address as args will deal with function
// descriptors (eg os::dll_address_to_library_name).
typedef unsigned int* codeptr_t;

// helper function - given a program counter, tries to locate the traceback table and
// returns info from it (like, most importantly, function name, displacement of the
// pc inside the function, and the traceback table itself.
