In this tutorial we learn how to install dyninst on Fedora 34.

What is `dyninst`

Dyninst is an Application Program Interface (API) to permit the insertion of code into a running program. The API also permits changing or removing subroutine calls from the application program. Run-time code changes are useful to support a variety of applications including debugging, performance monitoring, and to support composing applications out of existing packages. The goal of this API is to provide a machine independent interface to permit the creation of tools and applications that use run-time code patching. dyninst 10.2.1 6.fc34 x86_64 3.4 M dyninst-10.2.1-6.fc34.src.rpm fedora An API for Run-time Code Generation http LGPLv2+ Dyninst is an Application Program Interface (API) to permit the insertion of code into a running program.
