Hi, I would like to instrument cpp file using finstrument functions. I have written all the files and build script. I noticed that - the moment i add iostream header file into test.cpp file , the program segmentaion faults. What is the problem. (gdb) r Starting program: /home/fox/project_profile/a.out Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff7b65bd1 in std::ostream::sentry::sentry(std::ostream&) () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff7b65bd1 in std::ostream::sentry::sentry(std::ostream&) () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff7b664b8 in std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::__ostream_insert<char, std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*, long) () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #2 0x00007ffff7b668bf in std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::operator<< <std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*) () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #3 0x00000000004008cf in helloworld () at possol.cpp:5 #4 0x00000000004008a9 in __cyg_profile_func_enter (func=0x4009e2, caller=0x400ae6) at inst.cpp:13 #5 0x00000000004009f4 in global constructors keyed to main () at test.cpp:7 #6 0x0000000000400ae6 in __do_global_ctors_aux () #7 0x000000000040072b in _init () #8 0x00007fffffffe398 in ??
