Improve libc search #213

Closed petervas closed 1 year ago

petervas commented 1 year ago

Use ldd to locate the systems libc if "--libcfile" was not specified. This is a lot faster and more precise than the previous search in the root folder. If searching is necessary the default path is now "/lib/" instead of "/". Searching for libc has been optimized by removing the for loop and stopping the search after the first match.

This PR addresses some of the still valid points raised in Issue #204. By using ldd as suggested in #204 the default behavior is improved a lot when running checksec without "--libcfile".

The last commit speeds up the search even more by reducing the necessary find executions and reintroduces the search in the root folder as a last resort, but additionally adds /lib/ and /lib64/ to speed it up.
