This just illustrates that the real problem is versioning, not linking. It's nice to hand wave off the versioning problems of this approach, but in practice this isn't really different from the mechanisms used to version shared libraries and suffers all the same pitfalls. You've just replaced ld.so with a bunch of running daemons and turned it into a distributed computing problem. Don't get me wrong, I love plan 9 and its namespaces and long for them in the practical world, but this is 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Also, filesystem namespaces in Linux are a privileged operation, so these kinds of approaches don't work at all like they do in plan 9. |
