There was a time where this debate was bigger. It seems the world has shifted towards architectures and tooling that does not allow dynamic linking or makes it harder. This compromise makes it easier for the maintainers of the tools / languages, but does take away choice from the user / developer. But maybe that’s not important? What are your thoughts?
That is easily disproved on my system by
cat /proc/*/maps.Someone found the link to the article I was thinking about.
Ah, yes, I think I read Drew’s post a few years ago. The message I take away from it is not that dynamic linking is without benefits, but merely that static linking isn’t the end of the world (on systems like his).
