Library Symbol Collision Experiment

This is a short experiment to test whether overlapping symbols in transitive dependencies of loaded libraries conflict.

Usage

To run this test, simply run the following command

$ make -j4 run

Conclusion

The output of the command above is as follows:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/hyperair/src/test-sym-conflict ./main
libfoo loaded
hello from libfoo
libbar loaded
hello from libbar
libfoo unloaded
libbar unloaded

As can be seen, the do_lib_helloworld methods from both libfoo and libbar were called individually and did not override each other. I think this means that individual plugin libraries linking against different webkit versions ought to work without issue.
