Subject: RFA: tweak minsyms check for GNU v3 symbols
Date: Mon, 03 Mar 2003 03:54:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030303035409.GA5850@nevyn.them.org> (raw)
This is based on a patch that Kris Warkentin sent out last October, that's
been sitting in my inbox for a while. It's a little more efficient but the
idea is the same. Right now, we consider any _Z symbol to imply GNU v3; but
what we really want is for any _Z symbol _which demangled successfully_ to
imply GNU v3. _Zero is the QNX example of a false positive for the current
check. It's still not perfect, but it's much better.
Tested in combination with the "set cp-abi" patch, to make sure it behaved
properly; sure enough:
- we still get GNU v3 for a v3 application
- we no longer get GNU v3 for a v2 application containing _Zero (before
the patch, we did).
Is this OK?
