Actually, you may consider having *huge* version numbers for testers,
and using tiny ones for public releases.
For testing releases use a major version corresponding with the
current date: -version-info 19971007
Then for the public release, figure out what has actually changed
since last time: -version-info 3:0:1
The huge test release major numbers will guarantee that every new test
release will require relinking, but the public versions will be
smarter and possibly backwards-compatible.
AD> I am no system guy, so I may say stupid things :)
Nothing stupid. These are legitimate questions that I will have to
answer eventually in the documentation.
Thanks for your questions,

You say, you will write code? I tried to imagine a solution without
new code, but I failed. So you write a new linker or just a library,
that I can use in my own code?

Yes. I have to know while compilation time of the binary, which libraries
get linked.

Thanks, it's a pleasure to hear such comments ;)

BTW: Perhaps you remember, I once contacted you because of some problems
with C++ and static objects in shared libs. I found out (or read in a
news group), that most compilers on such plattforms do some magic before
calling the linker. So, what libtool have to do to support such plattforms
(Solaris, FreeBSD and perhaps some more), is to call the compiler and not
the linker to create C++ shared libs.
CC (under Solaris) has the same options then the linker, but should create
correct libraries.
Currently I set CC to CXX before I run AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to let libtool
find the correct linker options for the C++ compiler instead of the C
compiler.
I just wanted to let you know, what I found out. I thought about patching
libtool to have better support for C++, but this would mean some drastic
changes, so I left it up to you ;)
Greets, Stephan

Hi
I'd like to use libtool (ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.2 togheter with the SUN C++
compiler (CC: WorkShop Compilers 4.2 30 Oct 1996 C++ 4.2) on Solaris 5.5.1.
Everything works good except if I'm trying to use C++ templates in my code and
put this in a shared library. The linker is afterwards always complaining
about missing references. The problem occurs because libtool renames
the object
files from xxx.o to xxx.lo. The SUN C++ compiler builds for himself a
Template.DB
and this somehow doens't match anymore with the object file.
Have you ever heard of this problem and do you eventually allready have
a solution?
I search in Deja News but couldn't find anything.
A solution I could think of would be to rename the xxx.lo file back to
xxx.o before
the linking phase.
Thanks for any hints.
ciao
Alois

and in reality, the process of linking CC library is different,

In general, command for linking is

As I noted few days ago, the process of building a library (static or
shared)
with C++ can include addition steps, such as template instaniation.
In libtool AR can be overrided from configure ${AR}, but ${ARFLAGS}
(cru)
is hardcoded into ltconfig.sh
setting ${ARFLAGS} as variable (or cru if "$ARFLAGS" is empty ) actually
enable
building of templated C++ variables (static only yet) by overriding AR
and ARFLAGS
from configure.
So, I attached to this messages diff, which change cru to ${ARFLAGS} in
ltconfig.in (and therefore in ltconfig)
Also, I think somewhere in documentation must exists the next note
about
Sun Solaris Workshop:
/--------
When you want build libraries with implicit templates instaniated in,
You must puss to ltconfig next envirowmnent variables:
AR=CC
ARFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS -xar -o

I'm trying to use libtool with C++ programs, and found that libtool
wouldn't put any C++ methods into the shared library. When I looked
into it, I found that the nm command used to create the export list
doesn't pass a -C flag. On AIX, the -C flag says to leave C++ names
mangled. Since the function names weren't mangled, the sed line
didn't recognize them as functions, so they weren't put into the .exp
file. I found that I could fix the problem by adding a -C flag to
ac_cv_path_NM in config.guess. I suppose the configure script should
check for that and do it automatically.
I'm running libtool version 1.2 on an AIX 4.2 box
(powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0).
I have some test files that I can give to anyone who wants to test
this. And I can test potential fixes on my machine.
Thank you,

AIX, C++, shared multi-thread libraries and libtool
Ughh ... what a combination
Anyway... it appears that for AIX4.2.1.0 creating shared libraries is very
tricky. You must use the 'makeC++SharedLib_r' script that IBM supplies.
Not the xlC_r compiler as libtool does.
In addition, I kept getting unresolved symbols when linking against my own
libraries. I needed to set 'always_export_symbols=yes' even though the
-bexpall flag is supposed to fix that..
To do that I had to edit 'ltconfig.in' (about line 1262 for libtool-1.3.2)
and set it always on - regardless of the host_os version.
I can now get it all to link, but this is sure an ugly monster !! and the
executable files are definitely HUGE

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Of course, with glibc or Solaris, a GNU
as/ld equipped GCC will do the job:
marcusd@cathcart[~] $ cat constructor.c
void tryme (void) __attribute__ ((constructor));
void
tryme (void)
{
printf ("constructor\n");
}
marcusd@cathcart[~] $ cat test-constructor.c
#include <dlfcn.h>
main ()
{
void *handle = dlopen ("./libconstructor.so", RTLD_GLOBAL | RTLD_LAZY);
printf ("%p\n", handle);
printf ("main\n");
}
marcusd@cathcart[~] $ gcc -fPIC -c constructor.c
marcusd@cathcart[~] $ gcc -shared constructor.o -o libconstructor.so
marcusd@cathcart[~] $ gcc test-constructor.c -ldl
marcusd@cathcart[~] $ ./a.out
constructor
0x80496a8
main
However, the equivalent on HPsUX fails:
mgd@pajarito[~] $ cat test-constructor.c
#include <dl.h>
#define SHL_FLAGS (BIND_IMMEDIATE | BIND_NONFATAL | DYNAMIC_PATH)
main ()
{
shl_t handle;
handle = shl_load ("./libconstructor.sl", SHL_FLAGS, 0L);
printf ("%x\n", handle);
printf ("main\n");
}
mgd@pajarito[~] $ gcc -c -fPIC constructor.c
mgd@pajarito[~] $ gcc -fPIC -shared constructor.o -o libconstructor.sl
mgd@pajarito[~] $ gcc test-constructor.c -ldld
mgd@pajarito[~] $ ./a.out
7b031748
main
However, there is a flag to the HP linker that provides the needed
feature:
mgd@pajarito[~] $ gcc -Wl,+I,tryme -fPIC -shared constructor.o -o libconstructor.sl
mgd@pajarito[~] $ ./a.out
constructor
7b031748
