192 which is a topological sort.
194 We go from maps[nmaps - 1] backwards towards maps[0] at this level.
195 Due to the breadth-first search (BFS) ordering we receive, going
196 backwards usually gives a more shallow depth-first recursion depth,
197 adding more stack usage safety. Also, combined with the natural
198 processing order of l_initfini[] at each node during DFS, this maintains
199 an ordering closer to the original link ordering in the sorting results
200 under most simpler cases.
202 Another reason we order the top level backwards, it that maps[0] is
203 usually exactly the main object of which we're in the midst of
204 _dl_map_object_deps() processing, and maps[0]->l_initfini[] is still
205 blank. If we start the traversal from maps[0], since having no
206 dependencies yet filled in, maps[0] will always be immediately
207 incorrectly placed at the last place in the order (first in reverse).
208 Adjusting the order so that maps[0] is last traversed naturally avoids
211 Further, the old "optimization" of skipping the main object at maps[0]
212 from the call-site (i.e. _dl_sort_maps(maps+1,nmaps-1)) is in general
213 no longer valid, since traversing along object dependency-links
214 may "find" the main object even when it is not included in the initial
215 order (e.g. a dlopen()'ed shared object can have circular dependencies
216 linked back to itself). In such a case, traversing N-1 objects will
217 create a N-object result, and raise problems.
219 To summarize, just passing in the full list, and iterating from back
220 to front makes things much more straightforward. */

248 The reason we do this is: while it is unspecified how circular
249 dependencies should be handled, the presumed reasonable behavior is to
250 have destructors to respect static dependency links as much as possible,
251 overriding reldeps if needed. And the first sorting pass, which takes
252 l_initfini/l_reldeps links equally, may not preserve this priority.
