Linker Tasks

Using Linker commands

As mentioned previously in the section “Exporting Symbols from main with -E”, the -Eoption forces the export of all symbols from the program, regardless of whether they are referenced by shared libraries on the linker command line. The +e option allows you to be more selective in what symbols are exported. You can use +e to limit the exported symbols to only those symbols you want to be visible.

For example, the following ld command exports the symbols main and foo. The symbol main is referenced by libc. The symbol foo is referenced at run time by an explicitly loaded library not specified at link time:

$ ld /usr/ccs/lib/crt0.o prog.o +e main +e foo -lm -lc -ldld

When using +e, be sure to export any data symbols defined in the program that may also be defined in explicitly loaded libraries. If a data symbol that a shared library imports is not exported from the program file, the program uses its own copy while the shared library uses a different copy if a definition exists outside the program file. In such cases, a shared library might update a global variable needed by the program, but the program would never see the change because it would be referencing its own copy.

One example of a data symbol that should almost always be exported from a program is errno. errno is defined in every shared library and program; if this definition is hidden, the value of errno will not be shared outside of the program in which it is hidden.

Moving Libraries after Linking with +b

A library can be moved even after an application has been linked with it. This is done by providing the executable with a list of directories to search at run time for any required libraries. One way you can store a directory path list in the program is by using the +b path_list linker option.

Note that dynamic path list search works only for libraries specified with -lon the linker command line (for example, -lfoo). It won't work for libraries whose full path name is specified (for example, /usr/contrib/lib/libfoo.sl). However, it can be enabled for such libraries with the -loption to the chatr command (see “Changing a Program's Attributes with chatr(1)” on page 104).
