Dynamically Linked Libraries

[Kwan]

Hi All,

In a Unix system (I am using Solaris, but not limited to it), who will
dynamically linked libraries been linked to a multithreaded process?

Will it have a different instance for every single thread, or just one
copy and shared amough all threads?

I have some static member variables in the class suggested that every
single threads is having their own instance. Is that true?

Thanks in advance.

The answer to that question is platform-specific, has nothing to do with
the C++ language, and is off-topic in this newsgroup.

The C++ language knows nothing of threads.

For the first question, look for a newsgroup with 'unix' in the title.
For the rest, look for a newsgroup with 'thread' in the title.

HTH,
