A question: It looks as if scm_dynamic_link might be given a set of
options as rest arguments. The code, however, currently does only accept
one single option, kw_global, which leads to the setting of some
flags. The flags, however, are passed on to sysdep_dynl_link, which just
ignores them.
I suggest
- either to remove that flag support completely.
- or, if there are reasons to keep it, make that option an optional
argument of scm_dynamic_link,
- or, if there are possible other options to be added in the future, leave
everything as it is :-)
The advantage of getting rid of the rest arguments is: less consing, less
clutter in the code etc. Even better would be to get rid of that flags
stuff at all.
If nobody from the dynamic-linking experts objects, I am going to remove
that flag support completely.
Best regards
