Hi Josh,
No, I think what Bert is talking about is having something like
foobar.c
==========================
#include “shmem.h”
long my_dso_val = 0;
int foobar(void)
{
printf(“Hello from a shared library\n”);
}
======
cc –fPIC –c foobar.c
cc –shared –o libfoobar.so foobar.o
cc –o berts_code berts_code.c –lfoobar
then in your main example below do a shmem_long_fadd on my_dso_val.
It won’t work unless you’ve put smarts in the shmem library to go through
the segments of loaded shared libraries and register them with the same
mechanism used for the data segment of the executable.

Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] SHMEM symmetric objects in shared libraries
Are you claiming that in the following test, the static variable "val" will not
be seen as a symmetric object?
#include "shmem.h"
int main( int argc, char **argv){
long my_pe, npes, master;
start_pes(0);
my_pe = shmem_my_pe();
npes = shmem_n_pes();
master = npes - 1;
/* only used on master */
static long val = 0;
if(my_pe != master ){
shmem_long_fadd(&val,1,master);
}
shmem_barrier_all();
return 0;
}

Hi,
Btw, I'm pretty confident, that this Open SHMEM implementation does not
recognize global or static variables in shared libraries as symmetric
objects. It is probably wise to note this somewhere to the users.
I've never got an reply to this query. Any comments on it?
Bert
Kind regards,
