Abstract
A symbol resolution unit can be configured for resolving conflicting operating system symbols. A default symbol resolution data structure can be accessed to resolve a symbol associated with a client of an operating system. A first data entry that corresponds to the symbol is located in the default symbol resolution data structure. It is determined that the first data entry indicates that the symbol is marked special (e.g., as a conflicting operating system symbol). A secondary symbol resolution data structure is accessed in response to determining that the first data entry indicates that the symbol is marked special. A second data entry that corresponds to the symbol is located in the secondary symbol resolution data structure based, at least in part, on an identifier of the client. A memory location indicated in the second data entry that corresponds to the symbol is provided to the client.
