I tried the dlsym() path, but couldn't make it work for me. I always got back nil;
Maybe somebody else had more luck.

If you're on Leopard, there is a new backtrace(3) call.
If you're on Tiger, it's a little more complex...

       You can use the compiler function
               (long)__builtin_return_address(0)
       to find the address of your caller. Alas, there is no
__builtin_return_symbol()

Interesting. The manpage for backtrace mentions dladdr, which is available on 10.4. Maybe you can use that instead of launching atos. Particularly, I'm looking at the dli_sname member. _______________________________________________
