The win32 api does not even support any other mode. The fact that a DLL can be dlopend the way that we are trying to NULL (which should resolve to itself) shows that it is possible. The second argument to dlopen is only available so as not to break existing packages. I have recently posted a thread about RTLD_GLOBAL mode. See the ML archives.

Use the (kernel) source, luke. In winsup/cygwin/include/dlfcn.h, you see a comment that "the following don't exist in win32 API". Since cygwin's dlopen stuff is built on top of windows shared lib (DLL) support, the definitions which appear in that header file: #define RTLD_LAZY 1 #define RTLD_NOW 2 #define RTLD_GLOBAL 4 have zero effect in cygwin's dlopen. Even better, looking at winsup/cygwin/dlfcn.cc, you can see that the function definition doesn't even assign the second argument to a variable: void * dlopen (const char *name, int) { ... } RTLD_LAZY is not supported.
