Hi experts, I noticed that modstubs.s declares some function stubs which are actually defined in other modules. modstubs.s is compiled to unix.
My understanding is that the stubs are used when the corresponding function is called and yet the module defining it has not been loaded. So the stub acts as a placeholder for the actual function. I also noticed we can use the -N option of ld to declare the dependences between 2 modules. Say module A uses functions defined in module B, you need to set -NB in LDFLAGS. Given this, can we only use either stubs or the -N option of ld? Are they substitutable? Could someone please give me some instructions on this topic? Or suggest some readings to me? Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas!
