Hi folks, I wanted to know what happens in gcc in the following scenario. Say, there is a function by the name jellyfish() defined in libc6.so Now I compile a binary(say bigben) which also contains jellyfish() defined. This binary(bigben) of mine has the capability to load a .so at run time.. Now I create a bridge.so which uses jellyfish(), but during compile time, I link it to another static library(say libpapa.a) which defines jellyfish(), and if I do an nm on the module, I can see that jellyfish() is defined in it. Now I presume that at runtime when bride.so calls jellyfish after being loaded to bigben, it should actually use the definition which is present in libpapa.a. But I see that tracing the code using a debugger shows that it is actually using the definition from libc6.so. How can I prevent this from happening and actually ensure that jellyfish definition is picked up from libpapa.a and neither from bigben or from libc6.so. Thanks Ryan.
