By the way, one catch is that once you MFC symbols in the FBSD_1.1
namespace, any new symbols in the same library need to go in
FBSD_1.2. We do guarantee that public namespaces do not change
across stable branches. This is important for API-checking tools
like appcert: even if you can't prevent problems like the one
described previously, at least you have some assurance as to which
versions of FreeBSD will run your app.
Interesting. It's not very clear, though. Are you saying that in this
case memrchr will be in different namespace than the rest of 6.4 libc
functions?
