1-*- text -*- 2 3Changes in 2.39: 4 5* New features 6 7** The CTF variable section (if generated via ld --ctf-variables) now contains 8 entries for static functions, hidden functions, and other functions with 9 no associated symbol. The associated type is of kind CTF_K_FUNCTION. 10 (No change if --ctf-variables is not specified, which is the default.) 11 12Changes in 2.37: 13 14* New features 15 16** Add ctf_lookup_by_symbol name and ctf_arc_lookup_symbol_name, analogues of 17 existing ctf_lookup_by_symbol and ctf_arc_lookup_symbol, but looking up 18 symbols by name rather than symbol number. This also works in places where no 19 symbol number is known, like in object files and dynamic dicts created by 20 ctf_create. 21 22** libctf supports compilers that encode unrepresentable types via a special 23 kind (CTF_K_UNKNOWN) as well as via type ID 0. 24 25* Bugfixes 26 27** Avoid duplicating or losing types of data object symbols when 28 ld -r is used 29 30** Prohibit typedefs with no name; prevent the linker/deduplicator 31 producing such typedefs 32 33* Bugfixes, also on 2.36 branch 34 35** Prevent ctf_lookup_by_name returning success when 36 looking up nonexistent pointer types 37 38** Fix ctf_type_add copying of structs with unnamed members 39
