This is a fork from the "Silly library path debug question" thread where
I am figuring how to make auto-loading of dependencies work.
That thread touched on a secondary question which is if there is any
particular requirement on HOW/WHEN to load libpthread :
A) Must libpthread be [dynamic object dependency] linked to the
executable file directly, or is it OK that a shared library that the
executable has a [dynamic object dependency] link to, links to
libpthread [by the means of a dynamic object dependency]?
I presume YES it's ok.
B) Can libpthread be loaded at first at dlopen() time in OpenBSD?
That is, executable file A does dlopen() on shared library B, which
either itself has a dynamic object dependency link to libpthread, or B
has a dynamic object dependency link to shared library C, which has a
dynamic object dependency link to libpthread .
(For some ancient Linux LibC version this did *not* work but led to a
crash / SIGSEGV, so just wanted to ask here if it is fine to do this on
OpenBSD.
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/open_issues/libpthread_dlopen.html )
Can it? If so, starting any particular version?
I would suppose YES but just want to be clear.
Thank you very much and again sorry for the spam.
