Hi Sandeep,

Is it possible to call the bfd_openr(NULL,...) with its first parameter as NULL.

Sorry, no this is not possible.

What if in the constructor of a Preloadable library (using LD_PRELOAD)
I want to convert the current file into bfd format. If i use the
bfd_openr( ) that would require an access to the disk, to read the
file, I want to avoid this disk access and want to convert the
executable into a bfd format.

I think that you will need to create your own bfd structure by hand in order to do this.

Cheers
  Nick
