I don't remember this example but I probably generated it using dpkg-gensymbols: https://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles Because I've passed -c4 in debian/rules you'll get build failures if it's out of date, which is a safety check that ensures you keep it current, but can add an iteration to your build process. If there are changes then you get a diff out of it at the end which you can apply to the symbols file - for the C++ one you probably want to run it through c++filt in order to make it readable. -- Iain Lane [ i...@orangesquash.org.uk ] Debian Developer [ la...@debian.org ] Ubuntu Developer [ la...@ubuntu.com ]
