I have a number of shared libraries calling each other (.so, ARM, Android), binary-only.

I want to add logging to some functions, _funcAfuncA(), ..., funcZ()_ defined in _libsomethinglibsomething.so_so. The functions are called from _libstuff1libstuff1.so, ..., libstuffN.so_so. I can rename a function in the original library (keeping the name in the same bucket is a bit tricky, but possible).

I want to either:

  1. Add an extra library to the dependency list of the calling library, that is, _libstuff1libstuff1.so_so originally referenced only _libsomethinglibsomething.so_so, and I want it to reference both _libsomethinglibsomething.so_so and _libOneMoreLiblibOneMoreLib.so_so.
  2. Or, add an extra function to existing library, e.g. in _libsomethinglibsomething.so_so, I rename _funcAfuncA()_ to _funbQfunbQ()_ and define (that is, add) _funcAfuncA()_ to print logs and call _funbQfunbQ()_.

How can I do any of these?
