How can I tell, with something like objdump
, if an object file has been built with -fPIC
?
The answer depends on the platform. On most platforms, if output from
readelf --relocs foo.o | egrep '(GOT|PLT|JU?MP_SLOT)'
is empty, then either foo.o
was not compiled with -fPIC
, or foo.o
doesn't contain any code where -fPIC
matters.
