Hello,

Somebody who should know it told me this group were basically for flaming.
Nevertheless I'll try with a technical question... :-)

For a special purpose I need to execute (ELF-)binaries which already
reside in memory. Now some guy told me something along the lines of 
'Have a look at the GNU stuff - I seem to remember that they have
a tool/library for this task'. 

Needless to say, I didn't find anything, except, of course, gdb. I
digged around in the gdb sources for a while, but without much success.

Is there something else ?
If not, is there something in gdb, and would it be possible to extract
it and use it seperately without both much effort and much internal 
knowldge about the workings of gdb ?

Thanks in advance for any hint!

Regards

Christoph Weber-Fahr
