[PATCH v4 8/9] Hack for the limitation when compiled with -static

Aravinda Prasad aravinda at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Feb 4 02:10:47 EST 2013


For programs compiled with -static option, there is no
dynamic section in the ELF file. Hence, the functions in the
main executable cannot be invoked by dynamically loaded
libraries as they cannot be resolved.

The eppic extension for makedumpfile, which is dynamically
loaded when -eppic flag is specified, needs to call few
functions in makedumpfile. This will not work if makedumpfile
is compiled with -static flag.

This patch is a hack which overcomes this limitation by passing
the address of the functions required by the dynamically loaded
library, eppic_makedumpfile.so, during initialization. The
dynamically loaded library branches to the function address
eliminating the need to resolve functions.
