Not just plugins, anything that happens to compile the bundled library into a DSO (either by itself, or as part of a larger sub-component) will likely leak colliding symbols, unless special care is taken not to. If we expect more bundling, then we need an alternative to the current ELF linking model, IMHO. -- Florian Weimer / Red Hat Product Security -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
