I am wrapping up with LD_PRELOAD to wrap libc functions for call tracking purposes. Everything was coming until I tried to wrap __stat and __fstat. It seems that these two functions are statically connected, unlike open, fdopen, etc., which are dynamically connected (and thus are wrapped).
I would like to understand: why is this so?
Bonus points if you can answer: how can I wrap __stat and __fstat calls?
Thank!
