[MiNT] mintlib and shareable libraries

[Arnaud BERCEGEAY <arnaud.bercegeay@free.fr>]

Hello,

I have a question to make the thing clear in my mind: is mintlib ready to 
build "shareable" libraries (by shareable libraries i mean shareable slb 
or ldg) ?

Here is just an example.

A process (let's call it p1) call one of the library (slb/ldg) function. 
This function call malloc(), mintlib (within the ldg/slb) will perform a 
big Malloc(), and the area returned by malloc() will be a small part of 
the big Malloc.
Who own this Malloc ? Is it the process that has called this library 
function (p1) ?

Later, another process (p2) call the same library fuction, which one call 
once more malloc(). The area returned by this malloc will be another part 
of the Malloc() allocated in the previous call.
At this moment, the 2nd process (p2) is working on a memory area owned by 
the 1st process. Right ?

Later, if process 1 ended, mint will automatically free the memory 
allocated by this process, and so the big Malloc() of the library will be 
free-ed... and p2 will work on a memory that may be allocated by another 
process at any time.

Am i right ?

best regards,
Arnaud.
