the fdpic code will need to count symbols, and it may be useful elsewhere in the future too. counting is trivial as long as sysv hash is present, but for gnu-hash-only libraries it's complex. the behavior of the count is changed slightly: we now include symbols that are not accessible by the gnu hash table in the count. this may make dladdr slightly slower. if this is a problem, dladdr can subtract out the part that should not be accessible. unlike in the old code, subtracting this out is easy even in the fast path where sysv hash is available too.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
