So object files take priority over library files?
Yes, because object files are NOT searched. They are
incorporated. Libraries get recursively searched for unresolved
symbols.
Right, I understand the case when you declare an assert handler
and use it in the same module (thus, object file) - then, an
external is not used and for PIC there might not even be a
relocation record. However, if the assert statement and my assert
handler are in different modules, how does the linker know not to
search the libraries without first searching other object files?
