[patch] glibc-2.13-dlclose-search-reset.patch

glibc-2.13-dlclose-search-reset.patch (text/plain), 1.31 KB, created by Ryan Hill (RETIRED) on 2011-07-10 08:05:16 UTC

In some cases unloading a module with dlclose can fail to update the symbol
search list for the remaining modules, leading to a situation where symbols
are referenced after the library has been removed from the symbol map.  The
most commonly encountered example of this is the error_category destructor
in libstdc++ not getting called until the exit finalizers are run, resulting
in:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.0/libstdc++.so.6:
undefined symbol: _ZNSt14error_categoryD2Ev, version GLIBCXX_3.4.15
