Just a curious question - does anybody know if there is any difference
in dynamic linking libraries implementation in Win32 (aka .DLLs) and
Linux (.so)?
When linking the library, do they share the same address space?
Will there be a need for a unit like borlandmm.dll or anything like
that?
Is it legal to pass pointer of application's allocated structure to the
library? What about AnsiStrings?
At least .so creation doesn't work for classes and ansistrings atm. For .so local variable references in the .so are copied local, for .dll this isn't done. And for .so all .globl defined things are exported and can be accessed while for .dll you can only access the variables defined in the exports section.
But for the moment, don't think about creating dynamic linked libraries becuase there are still problems. Hopefully after the next release it'll be working
