RE: portability of shared libraries

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Libstdc++ is linked statically into your DSO. At run-time, however,
dynamic loader may (justly) mess up its symbols with those from "target"
libstdc++. That may cause some failures.

So the possible solution for you is to hide libstdc++ symbols from
run-time dynamic linking by means of a version script. Script like this
will hide all symbols except those you define as global-visible:
 
     FOO {
         global:
                 <your symbols>; 
         local: 
                 *; 
     }; 

Use "-Wl,--version-script,script.name" to feed script to the linker.
