Hi, I checked and the system linker is the one that I currently use. Until
last week I thought it was better to use the system linker, but now I'm not
so sure. Could somebody tel me in which cases is better to use the gnu and
system linker. If the exception is one of this cases, maybe there are more of
such known isues, that could explain some other behaivor relatet to threads
and semaphore.
If there are any test that you will interested to be done, I will be glad to
cooperate.
When I said "system" linker, I meant using 'ld' directly (e.g.
/usr/ccs/bin/ld) to perform a link rather than invoking the C++
compiler to do the link (which itself uses 'ld'). I did not mean
Solaris 'ld' vs GNU 'ld'.
For Solaris, I recommend using the linker that comes with the system
(/usr/ccs/bin/ld) since it knows all of the Solaris shared library
nuances. While I am sure that GNU 'ld' has continued to improve, the
several times I have used it under Solaris, it has not performed
nearly as well as Sun's linker when building/using shared libraries.
GNU 'ld' is smarter when linking C++ (for templates), but it is a
portable tool and can not afford to specialize for an OS (except for
Linux and maybe GNU Hurd).
