---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006856) geoffclare (manager) - 2024-08-05 14:41 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1847#c6856 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am in favour of adding Dl_info as a synonym for Dl_info_t. I am not in favour of deprecating Dl_info_t (with a view to removing it in Issue 9). Since Solaris 11 has specified Dl_info_t in its dladdr() man page for many years, there will be existing code which uses it. (And there may well be more code written between now and TC1 that follows the standard as published, by people unaware of this request.) I don't see a desire to "clean this up" as sufficient justification for forcing such code to change in order for it to conform to Issue 9. I'd suggest instead that we add some application usage along these lines: <blockquote>Although this standard requires <b>Dl_info</b> and <b>Dl_info_t</b> to be defined as synonyms for the same type, historically many systems only defined <b>Dl_info</b> and did not define <b>Dl_info_t</b>. Consequently, choosing to use <b>Dl_info</b> over <b>Dl_info_t</b> may provide better portability to non-conforming implementations (such as those which conform to earlier versions of this standard from before <i>dladdr</i>() was added but which also provide <i>dladdr</i>() as an extension).</blockquote> Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2024-08-02 01:15 philip-guentherNew Issue 2024-08-02 01:15 philip-guentherName => Philip Guenther 2024-08-02 01:15 philip-guentherOrganization => OpenBSD 2024-08-02 01:15 philip-guentherSection => dlfnc.h and dladdr() 2024-08-02 01:15 philip-guentherPage Number => 238 and 2024-08-02 01:15 philip-guentherLine Number => 8391 and 2024-08-05 14:41 geoffclare Note Added: 0006856 ======================================================================
