Not necessarily. But it can't be shared at runtime anymore, since the dynamic loader has to change the codepages for each process. (well, there *is* a way ... back in a.out times libraries hat been compiled/linked to specific address spaces, but obviously that's quite complex to manage and not advisable outside speficic embedded environments) > You can't link dynamically against a library archive, so all DL code on > Linux must be compiled as a shared object, whether it's actually shared > or not (think plugins). You can (apache did it once, aeons ago), but it's quite tricky, and it's hard to get the pages shared between processes. Not the recommended way. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
