Everything that deals with an solib_ops needs to be adapted to deal with multiple solib_ops, including program_space::iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order. What I came up with for that method introduces a change in behavior where the current objfile will always be searched first. Rather than hide the change in behavior in that big patch, do it in this preparatory patch, in the hope that any potential problems it causes can be more easily bisected and analyzed. Concretely, the change is to check the current objfile first, in the two spots: if (current_objfile != nullptr && cb (current_objfile)) return; This happens to be what windows_solib_ops did, so remove that specialization. svr4_solib_ops already has its own iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order that conditionally checks the current objfile first, based on the DT_SYMBOLIC dynamic tag. So it is not affected by this change. The solib_ops potentially affected by this change are (we know that rocm_solib_ops doesn't care): - frv_solib_ops - target_solib_ops - darwin_solib_ops - dsbt_solib_ops - aix_solib_ops I don't really know if searching objfiles in order (so, main objfile first typically) is essential for any of these solib_ops. Intuitively, searching the current objfile first makes sense, unless there is some fancy symbol interposition happening, in which case that solib_ops should probably implement a custom iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order.
