Hi Alan, thanks for the info .
Are you aware of a way to reliably see the info (e.g. in hs_err file)
what version of libz was used at runtime ?
On linux (with some luck ) we see it in hs_err , at least a lot of distros
put the version into the libname , and then it is displayed in the hs_err
section
Dynamic libraries:
... /lib64/libz.so.1.2.8
... /lib64/libz.so.1.2.8
... /lib64/libz.so.1.2.8
On macOSX you see nothing just because the version is not in the libname :
Dynamic libraries:
... /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib
I don't have any insight into how libz is built for macOS. One comment
on this is that the frequency of crashes in libz should be significantly
reduced in recent releases as the central directory is no longer
mmapped. At least in my experience, almost every crash I've seen
involving libz or the zip code is because the zip file is replaced while
it is mapped.
