This article is being written to bring a few points to everyone's attention related to the FlexNet Libraries complied with PIC( position-independent code)
- In computing, position-independent code (PIC) or position-independent executable (PIE) is a body of machine code that, being placed somewhere in the primary memory, executes properly regardless of its absolute address.
- PIC is commonly used for shared libraries, so that the same library code can be loaded in a location in each program address space where it will not overlap any other uses of memory (for example, other shared libraries).
Linux Platform
- Makefile in Linux provided kits already have support for compiling with PIC.
- There is dedicated section written in the Makefile under element shared_object.
- The Makefile will build shared object with the command make shared_object.
- By default, shared object is linked with FNP provided PIC libraries inside the kit.
Windows Platform
- In the windows platform the dynamic library can be built with command as nmake DLL=1.
