<div dir="ltr">Hi Markus,<div><br></div><div>I don't know the Interpreter code well (and it's very poorly maintained) but from a quick inspection it doesn't seem to be inspecting the global mapping during external function resolution at all. The reason the code works on windows anyway is that (I would guess) it's an exported symbol in your program, and the Interpreter *does* look for those. On Linux, where symbols are not exported from the main binary by default, this fails.</div><div><br></div><div>So: global mappings do not work in the interpreter at the moment.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there any particular reason for you to use the interpreter?

</span>The output of pExecutionEngine-><wbr>getDataLayout().<wbr>getStringRepresentation() is an empty string if I do not set the layout on pModule before creating the interpreter engine. If I set the layout before, the output is the specified layout. But unfortunately, the error is still there.<br>
