Hi,
Are there any plans to do what Sun did with direct linking, as described
here?
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/msw?anchor=library_bindings_let_s_be
This would help in various situations, in particular where different
versions of the same library conflict (eg libstdc++.so.X - symbol
versioning does not help here).
It would also improve performance in some cases.
If nobody has any plans, would patches be accepted for it?
thanks -mike
