Hello all,
As described below I'm thinking about the simplest possibility to
merge two programms, one uses Gnu Pth and the other one uses the
Linux pthreads.
What about to make a shared object lib with the Linux Pthreads stuff
and load them with dlopen etc. ?
What happend if the lib with the pthread stuff is loaded?
I mean, the lib will load from ld and therefore also libpthread,
because of the dependency, while the main program with pth is
already loaded. Does this work ?
Thanks in advance
Lars Gusmar
