I have the following questions regarding DLLs (or shared library or runtime
library or whatever in Linux).
1. How the data segment and code segment of a DLL are mapped into the data
and code segment of the process using it ?
For e.g., if multiple processes use the same DLL, do they share the data
segment of the DLL ?
2. If the DLL dynamically allocates any memory, which process owns it ?
3. Can a DLL (or shared library or whatever in Linux) have global variables ?
4. Can a DLL create user-level threads ?
Thanx in advance,
- Somnath.
