Hi, I am trying to build and run a project using protobuf-lite, my library ( libMaster.so) links to another library (libpulsar.so). *Scenario 1 -* both libraries use protobuf classes. libpulsar.so includes static library libprotobuf-lite.a but is built with -fvisibility=hidden hence libMaster.so also needs to statically include libprotobuf-lite.a Project is built but during run time I get an error protobuf::internal::GetEmptyStringAlreadyInited(): Assertion `empty_string_ != __null' failed
*Scenario 2 - * I pushed all protobuf related code to libpulsar.so, hence *only* this library includes static library libprotobuf-lite.a, libMaster.so doesn't include libprotobuf-lite.a. code runs fine during run time. I don't understand why Scenario 1 fails but Scenario 2 passes. Is there some restriction that the static library can't be included twice. Regards, Jai PS: I am restricted to use libprotobuf-lite.a and can't use the shared library. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
