Re: __attribute__((constructor)) in dylib does not run with DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES

I'm trying to port an LD_PRELOAD trick from Linux to MacOS X. Given the
following two files:

foo.c:
------
[...]
void __attribute__((constructor)) my_init() {
  printf("Constructor called!\n");
}

bar.c:
------
int main() {
  return 0;
}

If I change the code such that bar.c references some symbol in foo.c, and link bar directly with the library, it works as expected[Constructor is called].

I'd say it works both times correctly and Linux wastes cycles with constructing unneeded objects. Loading is not constructing.



my 2 cents
