Is there an online reference to a discussion about that somewhere? Furthermore, is the mechanism to record public symbols between library releases, as described in the URL above, also used in FreeBSD? I'm referring to the PUBLIC_2: { symbol1, symbol2 } PUBLIC_1; versioning, which somehow should be in the .so. I can't find it with objdump and friends. --Stijn --=20 "...I like logs. They give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I've been known to keep logs for 30 months at a time (generally when I thought I was rotating them daily, but was actually rotating them once a month)." -- Michael Lucas, in Big Scary Daemons article 'Controlling Bandwidth' --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE81lazY3r/tLQmfWcRAh9oAJ9oOywjb7gtCpuNXd91jjTB798wDwCfYf+R 0vK7cIaYhTq8uw03tGKkibc= =LzuI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
