/*
|
|
* When building position independent code with GCC using the -fPIC option,
|
|
* (or even the -fPIE one on older versions), it will assume that we are
|
|
* building a dynamic object (either a shared library or an executable) that
|
|
* may have symbol references that can only be resolved at load time. For a
|
|
* variety of reasons (ELF symbol preemption, the CoW footprint of the section
|
|
* that is modified by the loader), this results in all references to symbols
|
|
* with external linkage to go via entries in the Global Offset Table (GOT),
|
|
* which carries absolute addresses which need to be fixed up when the
|
|
* executable image is loaded at an offset which is different from its link
|
|
* time offset.
|
|
*
|
|
* Fortunately, there is a way to inform the compiler that such symbol
|
|
* references will be satisfied at link time rather than at load time, by
|
|
* giving them 'hidden' visibility.
