Hi,

Is it possible to find out what all object files were put into an exe? Does it sound like a weird question? Well i have a c++ executable which was a simple program created by linking 2 .obj files. Can i now get this information from the exe which .obj files they were? I have used 'ldd' command to find which '.so's were linked but can't get anything for object files.

From the Linux command line you can do:

nm -A executable_file_name

This will list the symbols from object files
