and ... to answer Nathan's question:
Darwin's weak works the way you expect -- however the symbol does have to be
present at link time.
So - one would construct a dylib:
foo.dylib:
extern __inline int Foo ();
__inline int Foo ()
{
return 0; /* count(-) */
}
build that:
gcc ../tests/foo-dylib.c -dynamiclib -o foo.dylib
link with it...
gcc ../tests/call-foo-main.c foo.dylib -o cf
then the dylib is removed ..
rm foo.dylib
and ./cf behaves as you would expect (it refers to foo.dylib - but is happy for
it to be omitted).
... however, that's a bit long-winded for this case.
