Hello, I am using linux and I would like to understand the role of -fPIC. I understand that it generate code where function address can be calculated indirectly after relocation of the .so in applications using it. My questions are : - Is it required to compile with -fPIC every object file packed in a dynamic shared object ? - Is is possible to integrate a static library in a .so safely (assuming the static library is not compiled using -fPIC) - Is the answer to the previous question the same if the library is used only within the boundary of the .so (hidden to the rest of the application) ? Thanks -- Olivier Delannoy
