When a shlib-versions file has a DEFAULT line, it's not necessary to specify the same default minimum symbol version on the lines for individual libraries. If those lines otherwise duplicate the default SONAME for the library in question, they can be removed completely. This patch makes such cleanups: version entries for ld.so are removed (leaving just the definition of the architecture-specific dynamic linker name) and entries for libpthread are removed completely (since the default is libpthread.so.0). Tested for x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by this patch. There are various architectures (hppa, ia64, mips, sh, sparc64) that define minimum symbol versions (or in the case of mips, omission of symbol versions) only for particular libraries without a DEFAULT line. None of these are equivalent to something simpler with a DEFAULT line because all have some other libraries, not explicitly mentioned, with symbol versions that would be omitted were such a line used. In the mips case I'm pretty sure it was a mistake not to omit the 2.1 symbols for libthread_db; for the others I don't know if it was a mistake or deliberate that some symbols in various libraries have 2.0 or 2.1 versions despite other libraries having a 2.2 minimum. This concludes the shlib-versions cleanups I'm aware of. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/shlib-versions: Do not specify symbol version for ld.so. Do not include entry for libpthread. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/shlib-versions: Likewise.
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 2000-2013, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
