dynamic shared object Last modified: Thursday, January 12, 2006
A dynamic shared object (DSO) is an object file that is intended to be used simultaneously (or shared by) multiple applications while they're executing. A DSO can be used in place of archive libraries and will minimize overall memory usage because code is shared. Two executables that use the same DSO and that run simultaneously have only one copy of the shared components loaded into memory. [Adapted from SGI]
SGI: MIPS O32 Compiling and Performance Tuning Guide Chapter 3. Dynamic Shared Objects - an overview of DSO, its benefits and implementation documentation. Understanding Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support The Apache HTTP Server is a modular program where the administrator can choose the functionality to include in the server by selecting a set of modules. The modules can be statically compiled into the httpd binary when the server is built. This document describes how to use DSO modules as well as the theory behind their use.
