The handling of ${ORIGIN} was introduced the Generic > Application Binary Interface by July of 2000. > > The DF_ORIGIN is only necessary if the a.out does not use ${ORIGIN} in a > DT_NEEDED or DT_RUNPATH tag. and expects or anticipates that a $ORIGIN > may be encountered later in the execution such as a dlopen() call. > DF_ORIGIN was provided as a means of insuring correct results in these > delayed pathname resolutions without requiring every a.out to incur the > cost of a realpath() for its true location when started. http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/lldb-dev/2014-February/003428.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
