Add a macro to handle that. If you choose a versioning approach that uniquely names every version of the symbol, then this macro lets you map your symbol choice to the base name when building a static library Also, while I'm at it, since we're documenting this in the guide, take the abbreviated example out of the header Signed-off-by: Neil Horman CC: thomas.monjalon@6wind.com --- lib/librte_compat/rte_compat.h | 35 ++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/librte_compat/rte_compat.h b/lib/librte_compat/rte_compat.h index 75920a1..d7768d5 100644 --- a/lib/librte_compat/rte_compat.h +++ b/lib/librte_compat/rte_compat.h @@ -49,22 +49,8 @@ * Assumptions: DPDK 2.(X) contains a function int foo(char *string) * DPDK 2.(X+1) needs to change foo to be int foo(int index) * - * To accomplish this: - * 1) Edit lib//library_version.map to add a DPDK_2.(X+1) node, in which - * foo is exported as a global symbol. - * - * 2) rename the existing function int foo(char *string) to - * int foo_v20(char *string) - * - * 3) Add this macro immediately below the function - * VERSION_SYMBOL(foo, _v20, 2.0); - * - * 4) Implement a new version of foo. - * char foo(int value, int otherval) { ...} - * - * 5) Mark the newest version as the default version - * BIND_DEFAULT_SYMBOL(foo, _v21, 2.1); - * + * Refer to the guidelines document in the docs subdirectory for details on the + * use of these macros */ /* @@ -72,6 +58,8 @@ * b - function base name * e - function version extension, to be concatenated with base name * n - function symbol version string to be applied + * f - function prototype + * p - full function symbol name */ /* @@ -96,6 +84,19 @@ #define BIND_DEFAULT_SYMBOL(b, e, n) __asm__(".symver " RTE_STR(b) RTE_STR(e) ", " RTE_STR(b) "@@DPDK_" RTE_STR(n)) #define __vsym __attribute__((used)) +/* + * MAP_STATIC_SYMBOL + * If a function has been bifurcated into multiple versions, none of which + * are defined as the exported symbol name in the map file, this macro can be + * used to alias a specific version of the symbol to its exported name.
