Another detail about strace: the plugins may be scanned for metadata very early on, much earlier than when they're actually loaded. And even those that are loaded may never be actually used, like some image formats. You can use QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 to get some debugging output from QLibrary about whether it's scanning and which ones it actually loads. You can also use LD_DEBUG=libs (or "files") to get the Linux dynamic loader to tell you what it is really loading, and even why. Though the "why" is useless for plugins loaded via QLibrary, because they will all show up as "loaded by QtCore". You may be able to detect an open(2) call by QLibrary vs an open(2) call by ld-linux.so in your strace by the flags that each one uses or the calls done immediately after. Exercise left to the reader. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
