Hello there,

just a stupid question: I noticed that the _init() function of a shared
library is called every time
an app that uses the library is launched, even though the library was
already loaded in memory.

Then, if I have a shared library that must perform some hardware
initialization only once, how
can I check this for example with an "initialized" variable? Because I
verified that every time I
load the library the variable is set to its default value.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance,

Matteo.
