[Libunwind-devel] GDB - stable ABI major version

[Jan Kratochvil]

Hi,

GDB currently loads `libunwind-ia64.so':
        #define LIBUNWIND_SO "libunwind-" STRINGIFY(UNW_TARGET) ".so"

and uses its symbol in a defined ABI way afterwards.
This makes an incompatible ABI change impossible.

`libname.so' should be used only for the build time while runtime should use
`libunwind-ia64.so.7' in this case.

OK to submit such patch to GDB?
        #define LIBUNWIND_SO "libunwind-" STRINGIFY(UNW_TARGET) ".so.7"


Regards,
Jan
