I think that I have failed to provide enough detail for
you to understand what I meant. Consider the following:
1. We want to interpose some symbol in glibc (say, "malloc@GLIBC_2.0")
with a symbol of our own (perhaps via a preloaded library).
2. In our preloaded shared library, the interposing "malloc"
need not be a versioned symbol.
At least
Ah ok, got it. The dlsym will result in picking up the latest symbol.
Note the last line: dlsym() found xyz@@VER_2 (not xyz@VER_3).
Hmm interesting, I thought 'latest' would imply the last version in the
sequence of versions in the map, but I guess it kinda makes sense that
it is the @@ default, similar to how a static linker would pick it up.
