As the subject states, just a few quick questions. First, from what I can
tell, linux does not have threads. Is this correct? If so, how hard would
it be to implement them? What's involved.
Second, what's involved in dynamic linking? More specifically, what I'd like
to do is add dynamically loadable functions to a program I'm writing, such
that a user can write and compile his own functions, and have them integrated
with the rest of the program without requiring relinking and without any
interpretive overhead. I.e., user tells the program that function foo is in
the file foo.o, the program loads the function in foo.o into memory, and
subsequently, the user can use the function foo within the program.
