Re: [Gcl-devel] Re: function addresses and ld.so

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks for this!  Your comment pertains to referencing
functions in the shared library via this method, right?  What about
functions in the .text (and actually also .data) sections of the
executable itself?  These would seem only to be in jeopardy if a
'recompile' of a shared library resulted in a different mapping for
the sections of the executable itself, at least on non-function
descriptor architectures, no?

Take care,
