It is an oversight. You are correct that it cannot link properly on Windows.
On an ELF based system, foo1 will resolve the symbols by backlinking into the
loading application (which already has sub1 loaded through foo2). However,
we shouldn't be relying on that, since backlinking is (albeit a common)
luxury.
I have added this to my patch queue for when the merge is complete -- i.e.
after next weekend at the earliest =(o|
Cheers,
Gary.
