  • Publication number: 20240111550
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process is disclosed. An application is loaded into a local address space. A request by the application to load a target shared library is intercepted by an interceptor. Using the interceptor and based upon the request being intercepted, a shared library correlation table is searched for a loading count and a loading policy associated with the target shared library. Based upon the loading count and the loading policy, a selection is made between loading the target shared library as a shared library container, and loading the target shared library into the local address space. The target shared library is loaded based upon the selecting. The loading count represents a number of times the target shared library was loaded, and the loading policy indicates how the target shared library is to be loaded.
