Ah. That makes sense. I have the feeling that lots of us are planning for or actually using non-lazy loading as that lets the relocation tables be marked read-only after startup (-z relro -z now in the gnu linker). > I also don't know if the ordering between library loading and init section > execution is well defined. That's a good point -- with lazy loading, if the other libraries aren't even loaded until first used, then it seems unlikely that their init sections are invoked before then. -- -keith
