I have the following setup: Main executable loads module X, which in turn loads modules Y.so and Z.so (optionally, depending on the configuration). All loads are done with dlopen with flags RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL. Now, module Y needs to know address of some symbol from module Z in case Z.so is loaded. On linux and solaris, the code along these lines works:
void *this_module = dlopen(NULL, RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL); return dlsym(this_module, symbol_name); However, on FreeBSD 3.4 and 4.0 it doesn't work - the dlsym returns NULL. The question is - how to make it work? I know that latest FreeBSD versions have dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, symbol_name), which is supposed to help. However, I need it to work on 3.4 and 4.0 too. What can be done about this? Is there any alternative way of doing this? The problem is that module Y doesn't also know the full path for Z.so, though it can know if it was loaded or not - thus I can not use dlopen with path name to go directly to Z.so.
