Wouldn't that require that you allocate the memory, do relocation, set the correct memory page protection (to execute for code, etc), etcetera?
Jørgen, (now I got it) Looks like you'd want to implement some kind of userland exec. In this case the following archive will be useful: http://www.graegert.com/code/ul_exec-v1.1.tar.gz. Although quite dated it illustrates basic concepts. If you have questions about the code or the general approach, feel free to contact me privately. \Steve -- Steve Grägert <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Jabber xmpp://graegerts@xxxxxxxxxx Internet http://eth0.graegert.com, http://blog.graegert.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
