Could you name one? I wouldn't consider the LD_LIBRARY_* examples of process composition influence, but merely process interfaces virtualization ones. They may actually influence process composition incidentally because of the way Unix composes processes. And I don't see where the constructor would get in the way of LD_LIBRARY_* features anyway. > Programs are run in specially prepared sessions, like ltrace, strace > (Unix), rpctrace (Hurd), fakeroot, to observe or control their > behaviour. Then again, this has nothing to do with the process itself, but with it's interfaces to the outside, IMHO. In these cases, the constructor would only get in the way where the system policy mandates that these programs should not be able to operate. Of course, I want a component that enforces policy to get in the way of actions that would break the policy. > In the end, I want to make all types of virtualization and debugging > very easy.
