Change to something like
  const std::string section_name = obj->section_name(section.shndx);
  *section_name_ptr = static_cast<char*>(malloc(section_name.length() + 1));
  memcpy(*section_name_ptr, section_name.c_str(),
         section_name.length() + 1);
  return LDPS_OK;


This is OK with that change.

Thanks, and thanks for your patience with this.
