The code was assuming that the value in an allocated buffer did not change.
However, it was pointed out in review that it could change with these steps:
1) The malloc allocates from a new memory page. This page is often not mapped to a physical page until written to.
2) The reads just return the default (often 0 value) as the page is not mapped.
3) Another allocation is made that is written to the same page. This maps the page to physical memory which then changes the value of the original allocation.
It is probably too high a bar for most manufacturers, so they will not likely include such functionality.
There are valid reasons for dlls however. The main one being symbol name collision.
For example, you can use a dll that links to version 1 of a library, while using version 2 of the library yourself without having any name collisions.
Many years ago when I did Linux development this was a main gripe of using .so files - imported names could clash with the same global names in your program and you get random runtime behaviour.
They just added: "No person shall knowingly while in a public space engage in indecent behavior, display, distribute, or broadcast indecent material, conduct indecent events, or facilitate any of the foregoing prohibited acts."
Problem was that the referenced indecent statue definition included homosexuality, which was then removed from the definition even before it blew up on social media

"Blind recruitment means recruiters cannot tell the gender of candidates because those details are removed from applications."
"The trial found assigning a male name to a candidate made them 3.2 per cent less likely to get a job interview.
Adding a woman's name to a CV made the candidate 2.9 per cent more likely to get a foot in the door."
