Package: lesstif2
Version: 1:0.95.0-2
Severity: grave
Hi,
I'm not sure what exactly changed between 0.94.4-2 and 0.95.0-2, but
when I start xpdf I get the following warning:
xpdf: Symbol `_XmStrings' has different size in shared object, consider
re-linking
And when closing it:
XtUngrabButton(drawArea,3,0)
I don't get either message with 0.94.4-2.
What I see in in 0.94.4-2:
0000000000127540 g DO .rodata 00000000000049c5 Base _XmStrings
And in 0.95.0-1:
0000000000126520 g DO .rodata 0000000000004e1b Base _XmStrings
As you can the size changed from 0x49c5 to 0x4e1b.
When comparing the header files, I see things like:
+#ifndef XmRTopItemPosition
+#define XmRTopItemPosition ((char *)&_XmStrings[12602])
+#endif
#ifndef XmNtearOffTitle
-#define XmNtearOffTitle ((char *)&_XmStrings[12602])
+#define XmNtearOffTitle ((char *)&_XmStrings[12618])
#endif
-#ifndef XmCTearOffTitle
-#define XmCTearOffTitle ((char *)&_XmStrings[12615])
+#ifndef XmNTearOffTitle
+#define XmNTearOffTitle ((char *)&_XmStrings[12631])
(There are a few 100 of those changes.)
This looks like a clear ABI change to me. Specially if the header file
itself says:
* Stuff that points to the _XmStrings array.
*
* This should be in sync with lib/Xm-2.1/XmStrDefs.c, and binary compatibility
* with *Motif versions may suffer if this is modified without proper care.
