Page Choosing Archive or Shared Libraries with -a Example Using -a Dynamic Linking with -A and -R Overview of Dynamic Linking Step 1: Determine how much space is required to load the module. Step 2: Allocate the required memory and obtain its starting address. Step 3: Link the module from the running application. Step 4: Get information about the module's text, data, and bss segments from the module's header. Step 5: Read the text and data into the allocated space. Step 6: Clear (zero out) the bss segment. Step 7: Flush the text from the data cache before executing code from the loaded module. Step 8: Get the addresses of routines and data that are referenced in the module.
