I have been digging at this for days, Now I'm turning to the experts. Given: executable module A has a global variable (long) called 'value' It loads module B.so using dlopen() and loads a function pointer (called 'test') . Module B.so also has a global variable (some other type) called 'value' When I call test() in B.so and that function changes the contents of 'value', it changes to one in the A executable. Not the one in in B.so. (or I assume they have been 'linked' into the same memory location) How can I DISABLE the dynamic linker from doing what appears to be binding the variable 'value' in the two modules together? It's this a HUGH hole where any shared library can get access to (and corrupt) variables in the main executable? Everything think I've seen written seems to be regarding doing the opposite. Any help is appreciated. -Scott Weber (sorry if this is not exclusively plain text - Outlook... :-( )
