Dynamic Libraries Page

The preferences on this page allow you to control how TotalView manages the loading of dynamically loaded libraries. These preferences tell TotalView if it should ask you if it is alright to load dynamic libraries and indicate which libraries it should ask questions about and which it should just load.

Load symbols from dynamic libraries

When set, TotalView loads symbols from shared libraries. If you do not select this option, TotalView may not be able to automatically attach to processes and threads because TotalView may not find the fork(), vfork(), and execve() system calls.

Ask to stop when loading dynamic libraries

If selected, TotalView will use the shared library path and file suffix to determine if it should ask to stop processes that load a shared library. The decision it makes is based on the entries typed in the next two lists.

When the file suffix matches

Enter the suffixes that TotalView uses when it decides whether it will ask if it should stop the process when it loads a dynamic library. If the library being opened has any of the entries on this list as a suffix, the question is always asked. Enter the list with one suffix on each line. By default, this list is empty.

The list you specify here is global. It applies to all processes you examine in this TotalView session.

And the file path prefix does not match

Enter prefixes that TotalView uses when it decides whether it will ask if it should stop the process when it loads a dynamic library. If the shared library being opened has any of the entries on this list as a prefix, the question is not asked. Enter the list with one suffix on each line. By default, this list is empty.

The list you specify here is global. It applies to all processes you examine in this TotalView session.
