You can override only dynamic symbols this way. If the function is in the same object (or even the same shared library), it is resolved at link time, not load time. You can obtain list of mockable functions this way: objdump -T .../libvirt_driver_libxl.so | grep UND -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
