Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Is it possible to arrange for unresolved symbols in shared objects which have been loaded using dlopen() to be searched for in the parent object? i.e. if fn_x is defined in the parent object and undefined in the loaded object then the linker would resolve it to the aforementioned fn_x. If this isn't possible then is there a way to emulate this behaviour, by using stubs in the dynamically loaded object perhaps?
