Let's see: > commonClass.o: commonClass.cpp > g++ -Wall -c commonClass.cpp > sharedClass.o: sharedClass.cpp commonClass.o > g++ -Wall -c sharedClass.cpp > sharedClass.so: sharedClass.o > g++ sharedClass.o -shared -o sharedClass.so > main.o: main.cpp > g++ -rdynamic -Wall -c main.cpp > > main: main.o commonClass.o > g++ -rdynamic main.o commonClass.o -ldl -o main commonClass is linked directly into the main executable, so there is no way to change it at runtime. sharedClass is loaded dynamically, so it could be replaced by another at runtime. > Is there a way to see changes in commonClass.cpp without restarting > the application? No, unless you structure it like sharedClass, that is.
