Re: Symbol versioning

[Alistair Crooks <agc%pkgsrc.org@localhost>]

There's a cvs branch I made that does symbol versioning -- agc-symver

I remember it did the job it was meant to, but I would have needed way more perseverance to implement it for the whole of src.

FWIW, the implementation was taken from FreeBSD, but their docs are out of date, the perl-script-translated-into-awk is way too large and intrusive, and their naming scheme has changed over time to omit the os version, and to just use the lib name/version

Whatever, FreeBSD has had symbol versioning for a while, we don't, and I suck.

I know joerg also has some opinions on this, my aim was to get something in place and refine it later.

Best,

Alistair

I'm not sure what I'm dealing with, but GCC 7 is extremely broken on
netbsd probably due to the lack of it. I can't build a fortran hello
world.

I made a bug report:
