Native Android code executes even if I don't package libc++_shared.so

I have pre-built, third-party shared library libSNPE.so from Qualcomm that has a dependency on libc++_shared.so . Even if I don't copy the libc++_shared.so to the Android phone, my programs execute fine.

Trying the above I was expecting that I will get an error that program cannot link to libc++_shared.so as it is mentioned that libc++_shared.so should be packaged with code https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpp-support. Does this mean that the libSNPE.so is linking to the system libc++.so at /system/lib64/libc++.so at runtime? Is there a way to verify this? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I did ldd on the executable inside adb shell. The executable is linked to /vendor/lib64/libc++_shared.so.
