gcc vs g++ for dlopen

Hi Kolesar,

Okay, looks good.

> g++ test_library1.o -o test_library1 -ldl

Why are you using g++?  Why are you not using gcc?

Do you need g++?  Unless there is more to your example than you are
providing (e.g., it's C++ source, not C source), it seems that g++ should
not be necessary here.

Why are you specifying -ldl out of order?

What happens when you do:
gcc test_library.c -o test_library -ldl

Does that make a difference?

You used g++ before.  Do you need g++?

g++ test_library.c -o test_library -ldl

Does that make a difference?

HTH,
