Message-ID: <080220051811.22540.42EFB751000E44690000580C2202888744C0CF9D0A0B0E0AAD0A08AB@comcast.net> (raw)

Here's a piece of a program I wrote to do that..  (So if it doesn't compile, that's why ;)

Also note that it's a flat binary it runs, not an ELF or aout format executable..

test5.c:
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int inf, infLen;
        void *code;
        void (*func)();

        if (argc != 2)
        {
                printf("Usage: %s <input file>\n", argv[0]);
                exit(-1);
        }

        if ( (inf = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY)) == -1)
        {
                printf("Failed to open '%s'..\n", argv[1]);
                exit(-1);
        }

        infLen = lseek(inf, 0, SEEK_END);
        lseek(inf, 0, SEEK_SET);

        code = malloc(infLen);

        if (read(inf, code, infLen) != infLen)
        {
                printf("Failed to read entire file..\n");
                exit(-1);
        }

        close(inf);

        printf("Executing code..\n");
        fflush(stdout);
        func = (void (*)()) code;
        (*func)();

        return (0);
}

Good luck,

Joshua Roys
