So I reverted the original change from 2012-02-08 and only applied the
following fix: Check if the path is preceeded by a long pathname prefix,
and, if so, drop it forthwith so that subsequent full path comparisons
work as expected. */
work as expected.
At least that was the original idea. In fact there are two case, linked
and runtime loaded DLLs, which have to be distinguished:
- Linked DLLs are loaded by only specifying the basename of the DLL and
searching it using the system DLL search order as given in the
aforementioned MSDN URL.
- Runtime loaded DLLs are specified with the full path since that's how
dlopen works.
In effect, we have to be careful not to mix linked and loaded DLLs.
For more info how this gets accomplished, see the comments at the start
of dll_list::alloc, as well as the comment preceeding the definition of
the in_load_after_fork bool later in the file. */
