dlsym(...) gives me the information I already have: the symbol
address in the Mach-O file. I need the address of the variable the
symbol corresponds to at runtime. Or am I doing something wrong
here? This is what I'm doing.
void *mainHandle = dlopen(NULL, RTLD_LAZY);
if( !mainHandle ) {
printf("dlopen() failed.\n");
}
int *debug_addr = (int *)dlsym(mainHandle, "__debug_level");
printf("debug_addr = 0x%x->0x%x\n", debug_addr, *debug_addr);
dlclose(mainHandle);

I've got a loadable bundle in a Cocoa application, and I'd like this

Now, I can grab the symbol's address using nlist(...), but I want to
in turn take this address and find the location of the variable in
memory at runtime. I've already tried CFBundleGetDataPointerForName
(...); it doesn't work. Don't ask me why. I've been pouring over the
Mach-O documentation, and I'm thinking that the best way to go about
it would be to grab the `vmaddr' member of the `segment_command'
structure to determine the VM address of the __DATA segment and then
work from there, but I'm not sure how to specifically go about doing
this.
Use dlopen/dlsym, see the manpages.
