ELF and SO Dynamic Linking

I need some source code about ELF loading and SO dynamic linking.

Have you anything?
Thanks!

Have you read the ELF specification?

yes, sure. If I don't read specifications, I don't ask.

Hi,

There is a topic about this on page 1 of the OS Development forum at the moment (about SO's) and there have been several ELF topics discussed on the forum recently, including code snippets.

Cheers,
Adam

Ok. Could you post the link to this topic?

Sorry for my multiple posts, it's due to my internet connection (It's a long story).

There isn't any simple source code for this?

Yes - there's simple source code. Do send me a link to it when you write it, because I can't be bothered to learn for myself.

Thanks.

Hi,

I was going to ignore this, but as you've bumped your post:

1. Please search the forums for the topic. Firstly, there is a search function and secondly, if I mention that this topic appears on page 1, you can look through the titles and find the topic. Even by now, it can't be any further than page 2-3 of this forum.

2. Once you get to a certain point of OS development, you'll find the tutorials and spoon-fed code stops. You are better of reading the documentation and asking a specific question if you don't understand something (and if it hasn't been discussed on the forum a few days before).

3. Have you tried other sources such as the wiki and the web? I suspect not, since a Google search of "ELF relocation shared objects" gave me a pretty good link as the first hit.

All of the above means: "Don't expect someone else to do the legwork for you."

Cheers,
Adam

[edit]damn - too slow. perhaps I should stick to one-line answers![/edit]
