Feature: Adding limited posix support

[virtuald]

We are going to port Detours so we can use it on Linux. It seems pretty straightforward. Is there interest in receiving those changes here? If not, we'll just keep it internal.

[imtrobin]

yes, interested

Sounds like a fun project!

I guess it depends on how invasive the changes are, and how much risk they introduce for breakage of the existing functionality. If you have something for us to look at so we could judge, that would be great.

I have finish it many month ago, will commit in the future。and it is basically no invasive for existed codes.

@virtuald I think this sounds very interesting! From what I've seen, the need for something like Detours is less imminent given that the dynamic linker supports preloading shared libraries (and overriding APIs) into processes via the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, but of course that only works for newly started applications. I'd love to see alternative approaches to API hooking on Linux which get away without environment variables.

@sonyps5201314 Sounds interesting -- is your code available somewhere, or maybe you can describe your approach in plain words?

[sonyps5201314]

@frerich, I have not publish this code to public area, and it only stay on my harddisk. the approach is implement the lacked windows API in linux.
