/* * LD_PRELOAD trick to make Saleae Logic work from a read-only installation * directory. * * Saleae Logic tries to write to the ./Settings/settings.xml file, relative to * its installation directory. Because the nix store is read-only, we have to * redirect access to this file somewhere else. Here's the map: * * $out/Settings/settings.xml => $HOME/.saleae-logic-settings.xml * * This also makes the software multi-user aware :-) * * NOTE: The next Logic version is supposed to have command line parameters for * configuring where the Settings/ directory is located, but until then we have * to use this. * * Usage: * gcc -shared -fPIC -DOUT="$out" preload.c -o preload.so -ldl * LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/preload.so ./result/Logic * * To see the paths that are modified at runtime, set the environment variable * PRELOAD_DEBUG to 1 (or anything really; debugging is on as long as the * variable exists). */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #ifndef OUT #error Missing OUT define - path to the installation directory. #endif typedef FILE *(*fopen_func_t)(const char *path, const char *mode); typedef FILE *(*fopen64_func_t)(const char *path, const char *mode); /* * Redirect $out/Settings/settings.xml => $HOME/.saleae-logic-settings.xml.
