I read the commentary.
Linux has eleventy billion config settings. If you very carefully set them, maintain them, and make regular blood moon sacrifices you can induce the desired behavior.
I think the Windows model is better. I think Linux generally handles shared libraries poorly.
You probably love Linux and think its preferences are great. That’s fine.
- cryptonector 3y agoThis is not a system configuration setting. This is a matter of linker-editor defaults. Those defaults tend to be bad for backwards compatibility reasons. Yes, if you build software on Linux (or the BSDs, or Solaris, or Illumos distros) you have to know about this, or use frameworks that do.
- forrestthewoods 3y agoThe thing about defaults is that anyone can change them. It’s easy! Also Google pays $26,000,000,000 a year to make sure Google is the default search engine. Because defaults are so easy to change that nobody changes them. The Linux software community expects libraries to be written a certain way. It is a de facto platform configuration setting. Even if there are, per Linux tradition, a few flags.
