Nexus: lazy KernelDB loading for code objects#111
Draft
Conversation
Switch addFile() to lazy=true so nexus only indexes kernel names from ELF .symtab at code-object registration time, deferring full disassembly until a kernel is actually dispatched and traced. This avoids the startup cost of eagerly disassembling every kernel in large binaries (e.g. libtorch_hip.so with 56K+ kernels). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The $ORIGIN RPATH on libnexus.so resolves to build/lib/, but libkernelDB64.so is built in build/_deps/kerneldb-build/. Without LD_LIBRARY_PATH or a full install step, the runtime linker cannot find it. Add a post-build copy so the build tree works out of the box.
