Is getaddrinfo usually statically linked or dynamically linked to stuff? Which pkgs on Ubuntu will be necessary to upgrade once they roll the fix to the repos?

- zzzcpan 11y agoThis is one of those things that usually cannot be linked statically at all. So, not many things to upgrade.
- umanwizard 11y agoWhy can't it be linked statically?
- fpoling 11y agoGlibs uses /etc/nsswitch.conf to decide at runtime which libraries has to be loaded dynamically to implement DNS resolver, user lookup etc. One in principle can compile those libraries statically, but it is rather complicated for no gains, so almost nobody is doing that.
- umanwizard 11y agoInteresting, thanks!
