operation of libtool (neither would work alone). First, there is a new feature that allows libraries to preopen modules. This entails a backwards incompatible change to the libltdl API for separating out the preloaded symbol lists by owner. Second, in the tradition of "eating our own dogfood", libltdl now preloads its own dlloaders. The internal API for dlloaders has also had to change in a backwards incompatible way in support of the new library preloading feature. If you don't use preloaded libraries, you needn't change your project sources, though you will need to recompile against the new libltdl. The API changes are mostly confined to dlloaders, so you probably needn't worry about those (unless you have written a custom loader that you want libltdl to use): * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add libltdl/loaders/Makefile. * libltdl/configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add loaders/Makefile. * libltdl/loaders: New directory for module loaders, to simplify Makefile rules, and to give the loaders themselves names that are unique in the first few characters. * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): Copy recursively to pick up the loaders directory contents. * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: New file. Move module building rules to here... * libltdl/Makefile.am: ...from here. (VERSION_INFO): Bumped version info to signify interface changes. (libltdl_la_CPPFLAGS, libltdlc_la_CPPFLAGS): Set LTDLOPEN appropriately for each library. * libltdl/loader-dld_link.c, libltdl/loader-dlopen.c, libltdl/loader-dyld.c, libltdl/loader-load_add_on.c, libltdl/loader-loadlibrary.c libltdl/loader-preopen.c, libltdl/loader-shl_load.c: Moved from here... * libltdl/loaders/dld_link.c, libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c, libltdl/loaders/dyld.c, libltdl/loaders/load_add_on.c, libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c libltdl/loaders/preopen.c, libltdl/loaders/shl_load.c: ...to here. (get_vtable): New entry function for each. * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (lt_dlsymlists_t): Replaced by... (symlist_chain): ...a new structure which maps lists of preloaded symbols from the object that loads them. (lt_dlpreload_open): New function to automatically open all preloaded modules belonging to a named object (ORIGINATOR). * libltdl/lt__alloc.c (lt__zalloc): New function to return a block of zeroed out new memory. * libltdl/lt__alloc.h (lt__zalloc): Prototype it. * libltdl/lt__private.h (lt__alloc_die_callback): Add missing prototype. (lt__error_strings): Make this opaque to callers. * libltdl/lt_error.c (lt__error_strings): Move the implementation to here. * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_user_dlloader): Add extra fields to make originator focused preloading possible. *BREAKS BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY* (lt_dlloader_add): Take advantage of new fields to simplify paramater list. * libltdl/lt_system.h (LT_STR): New ANSI stringification macro. (LT_CONC): Fix it to work from within macros. * libltdl/ltdl.c (loader_init, loader_init_callback): Simplify dlloader loading. (get_vtable, preloaded_symbols): Point these at the preopen.c symbols to bootstrap the loader chain. (lt_dlinit): Load the preopen dlloader manually, and then use it to load any other preloaded dlloaders. (lt_dlloader_add): Simplify parameter list. Populate new fields. Chain new loaders according to priority field. * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsymlist): Add a new originator field. (lt_dlpreload_callback_func): Type of a callback for automatic lt_dlpreload_open loading. (LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Adjust to hook into preloaded symbols from the "@PROGRAM@" originator. * tests/demo/dlmain.c (main): Use mangled preloaded_symbols symbol. * tests/pdemo/longer_file_name_dlmain.c (main): Ditto. * ltmain.in: Don't spew spurious warnings when dlopening and dlpreopening modules. (func_generate_dlsyms): Factored out from multiple copies in the rest of the code. Generate originator keyed symbol lists. (func_extract_archives): Also factored. Extract the contents of convenience archives for linking with dependent libraries when --whole-archive is not available. [darwin]: Don't try to link $old_library unless it exists, and $lib is a bundle. * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): Check for all possible dynamic loading libraries/apis rather that stopping when an acceptable one is discovered. (LT_DLLOADERS): New variable for holding dlloaders that can be preloaded. * doc/libtool.texi: Document interface changes. * NEWS: Updated. |

This is GNU hell, an example package that uses GNU libtool with an Automake-generated environment to build a simple library and program. Admittedly, it would be better if this was a more realistic example, say, a program that actually did something useful, but we can't have everything. Send bug reports and comments about GNU hell to the libtool mailing list <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
