There seems to be a consensus that I don't need to know, shouldn't know or you just don't know..
I want to know how the TOOLS, as you say, know how it's done..
There comes a time where the TOOLS can fail you, not because they just don't do what you want, due to lack of understanding, because they do something incorrectly or is not the way you really want it done for more advanced purposes.
I thought with the explanation of how windows manages the process or locating dynamic entry points would be a clue as to what I was looking for, deep with in the process of how the LIBS are made and managed. I guess this may involve one that actually writes driver or system code to answer this.
If you really don't know that depth, that's fine.
