Well, I understand that, and is quite better reason than line length. As for the scripts/programs that use the readelf output, since the fields in the output are separated by space, and the library name comes in the end, it should be a small fix. I'm not denying the fact that the change in output might break some programs, but fixing those programs is a one time hassle. Plus let's not assume that *all* the programs/scripts will need the fix, may be some might keep working as before. In any case, I think the greater convenience and utility of information offered by the change to the one and all makes it worth it. Please think about it. > Your convenience is absolutely not reason enough to break those. Again, it's not just *my* convenience, it'll be more convenient and useful for *everybody*. You know that. -- Regards - Prasad _______________________________________________ elfutils-devel mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/elfutils-devel
