I am trying to port an application from Solaris 2.6 to an embedded system
which is based on FreeBSD 2.x. The application supports dynamic updates
in the form of .so files which are loaded via dlopen. The updates will
contain
functions which have the same name as functions in the main program.Under
FreeBSD 2.x dlopen seems to re-resolve these symbols to point to their
counterparts int the main app. I've included a script which demonstrates
the
problem.
Under Solaris and FreeBSD 3.x and newer systems, this script produces:
inside function() in main program
inside function() in shared object
Under FreeBSD 2.x and SunOS 4.x, it produces:
inside function() in main program
inside function() in main program
Is this a limitation of a.out systems, or is there a workaround?
Unfortunately we cannot upgrade to a newer FreeBSD version at this time.
Thanks,
Greg
