They should observe the correct address, but they can access the variable before initialization. An initializer in ld.so will not have an effect if an interposed definition initalized the variable to something else. > If so, we could simply initialize __rseq_handled twice: early before calling > IFUNC resolvers, and after ld.so re-relocation. No, I don't think this will make a difference. Thanks, Florian
