Incidentally, the following is relevant to this subject:

"Linux shared objects are very similar to DLLs, but a few pitfalls
require caution. An application can overwrite a function in a shared
object. If a shared object has the function print_hello and the application
has a function called print_hello, then whenever the application calls
print_hello, the application's version is used. This may not sound like a
problem until you have a function in the shared object called, for example,
so_print that calls print_hello. The print_hello that is used in this case
is the one defined in the application."
