Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-3857:
---------------------------------------
I think it's less {{-fPIC}} but the interposability requirement that produces
suboptimal code.
(AFAIU, x86-64 was designed for performant position-indepent code, as it has
RIP-relative addressing)
> [C++] Experiment non-interposable symbols on Linux

> Key: ARROW-3857
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3857
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: C++
> Affects Versions: 0.11.1
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Minor
>
> See performance issues with dynamic linking:
> https://www.macieira.org/blog/2012/01/sorry-state-of-dynamic-libraries-on-linux/
> (for example, CPython is significantly faster when compiled as a single
> executable rather than a shared library)
> We might want to try enabling the {{-Bsymbolic}} or {{-Bsymbolic-functions}}
> linker flag. It might make performance slightly better.
