I think this will still fall over for a case where there are multiple versions of the same base symbol, like: $ nm /lib64/libc.so.6 | egrep ' sched_getaffinity' 0000000000134430 T sched_getaffinity@GLIBC_2.3.3 00000000000dcf00 T sched_getaffinity@@GLIBC_2.3.4 Should we retain the versioning string in some form? "sched_getaffinity--GLIBC_2.3.4"? Should we instead interpret the '@' symbol more flexibly, so maybe first assume it is a version string, and if not found, try to see if it's a valid "@SRC" specification? PC
