...All the other members are copied from the temporary > archive, so they are not a problem. The file gets corrupted because it is overwriting itself. The strace showed that it opened the same file for reading and writing with 2 file handlers. This isn't what the code is supposed to do. The TmpArchive variable in ArchiveWriter.cpp is supposed to reference a unique file name and it is not. At that point in the ArchiveWriter, it is trying to insert the symbol table. It does that by creating a temporary file and mmaping the original file. The temporary file is written with the symbol table and...

That is why I posted it for discussion. I'm not sure if this is the "right" way to fix the problem, or if there is a different fix that should be applied (like perhaps copying the

(3) unlink the original file first (basically equivalent to (2)) (4) Write the foreignST into the TmpArchive file. Is there any reason that this isn't possible? Then the final archive would be created in a single pass, and it could just be moved into place. Also, since writeToDisk() invalidates the mapped file that was originally used to create the archive, shouldn't this function also unmap...

However, it would be possible to use a stringstream for this. I...
