Probably not *the* reason, but I recall one reason, for code running in ld.so, doubt anyone is going to go running sqlite there though. from: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19504-01/802-6319/6ia12qkfi/index.html "Some system interfaces exist assuming they are the only instance of their implementation within a process. For example, threads, signals and malloc(3C). Audit libraries should avoid using such interfaces" not sure if this is specific to solaris's ld.so or some fundamental thing as i'm not terribly versed in their inner workings. _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
