QUESTION

Is it possible for an LD_PRELOAD to only affect the main executable?

Asked 2021-Jun-12 at 19:25

The Actual Problem

I have an executable that by default uses EGL and SDL 1.2 to handle graphics and user input respectively. Using LD_PRELOAD, I have replaced both with GLFW.

This works normally unless the user has installed the Wayland version of GLFW, which depends on EGL itself. Because all the EGL calls are either stubbed to do nothing or call GLFW equivalents, it doesn't work (ie. eglSwapBuffers calls glfwSwapBuffers which calls eglSwapBuffers and so on). I can't remove the EGL stubs because then it would call both EGL and GLFW and the main executable is closed-source so I can't modify that.

Is there any way to make LD_PRELOAD affect the main executable but not GLFW? Or any other solution to obtain the same effect?

The Simplified Problem

I made a simplified example to demonstrate the problem.

You can check if the return address is in the executable or the library, and then call either the "real" function or do your stub code, like this:

The player.h file does not have a #include in it.

You have two choices:

Make every header file able to stand on its own.
Ensure that you document and meet the pre-requisites for every header file you include.

You have done neither of these things.

QUESTION

IShellLink - how to get the original target path

Asked 2021-Jun-03 at 17:42

I created a shortcut in a Windows PC with a target path of:

C:\Users\b\Desktop\New Text Document.txt

Then I copied the shortcut to another PC with a different user name, and I want to retrieve the original target path.

If you open the shortcut file with a text editor, you can see the original path is preserved, so the goal is definitely possible.

The following code does not work, despite the presence of SLGP_RAWPATH. It outputs:

C:\Users\a\Desktop\New Text Document.txt

It is changing the user folder name to the one associated with the running program.

I understand that the problem is not about environment variables, because no environment variable name can be seen in the file. But I can't find any documentation about this auto-relocation behavior.

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jun-03 at 16:40

Your shortcut is a .lnk file, just without the .lnk file extension present. According to Microsoft's latest "Shell Link (.LNK) Binary File Format" documentation, your shortcut appears to be configured as a relative file target. The relative name is just New Text Document.txt. I didn't dig into the file too much, but I'm guessing that it is relative to the system's Desktop folder, so it will take on whatever the actual Desktop folder of the current PC is. Which would explain why querying the target changes the relative root from C:\Users\b\Desktop to C:\Users\a\Desktop when you change PCs.

As for being able to query the original target C:\Users\b\Desktop\New Text Document.txt, that I don't know. It is also present in the file, so in theory there should be a way to query it, but I don't know which field it is in, without taking the time to fully decode this file. You should try writing your own decoder, using the above documentation.

QUESTION

Using hotchocolate's filters with schema first approach

Asked 2021-Jun-01 at 16:34

I'm using a schema interceptor to configure my schema. It's a multi-tenant application, so I build the schema according to the tenant's configuration. I'm mapping that configuration to SDL language (schema-first approach) and then I add it to the schema builder (schemaBuilder.AddDocumentFromString(...)).

As said on the documentation (here), "Schema-first does currently not support filtering!". But that is the only approach I can use right now, so I'm trying to find a workaround.

What I've tried:

Manually create the input filter types and add the filtering to the server (something like this):

Answered 2021-Jun-01 at 16:34

Filter support for schema-first is coming with version 12. You then do not even have to specify everything since we will provide schema building directives.

SDL_SetRenderTarget() hangs for a while if multiple renderer switch occurs

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jun-01 at 09:04

After further investigation I found that the problem is the use of SDL_RenderDrawPoint(). If we move Texture 4 creation at the beginning of the code the slowdown occurs after that texture creation, so after a massive use of SDL_RenderDrawPoint().

I fixed the problem passing from SDL_RenderDrawPoint() to SDL_RenderDrawPoints().

In my case it is ok because that texture is created only one time at startup and in this way we pass from 23 seconds to 200 milliseconds
