(I hope the subject line didn't mislead you into thinking that this was a "how-
to". It's a "please tell me how to"!)
I can create all the shared libraries I want, as long as I don't use classes
with virtual functions.
The problem with virtual functions (as I understand it) is that the virtual
function tables count as exported initialised data ... lib*.sa.v fodder.
I would be able to cope with this if I could get the vft in a separate object
module, but I can't find a way of getting it out of ...
"... the file where the first non-inlined virtual function is defined."
(page 5, READ THIS FIRST Sun C++ Part No: 800-3352-11)
I may only put code in the .so file. I may only put data in the .sa file.
I can't find a way of splitting them up.
I'm a bit pessimistic because although Sun have provided a shared version of
the complex library, there's no shared version of the Ostream library.
Can anyone help?
Adam
