Porters updating shared libraries ought to check for changes and base's
check_sym script does that, but we have no tooling or integration for that.
Here's a bare bones target we can extend in many ways, but for now:
- expect /usr/src/lib/check_sym to exist
- expect the port to be installed
- expect SHARED_LIBS to remain unmodified
$ make check-lib-symbols
/usr/src/lib/check_sym
{,/usr/ports/pobj/yaml-cpp-0.8.0/fake-amd64}/usr/local/lib/libyaml-cpp.so.4.0
/usr/local/lib/libyaml-cpp.so.4.0 -->
/usr/ports/pobj/yaml-cpp-0.8.0/fake-amd64/usr/local/lib/libyaml-cpp.so.4.0
No dynamic export changes
That fits well into my workflow of cranking a port's version, building and
comparing the identically named .so files, then potentially cranking
SHARED_LIBS and rebuilding the port.
Like show-size and other helper targets, nothing uses it automatically,
so we ought to be safe improving something like this as we go rather than
bikeshedding/polishing it to death before commit (or so I hope...)
Future changes could be
- handle absence of check_sym script and/or installed/built libraries
- replace raw command with pretty printed
"===> checking symbols for 'awesome' library..."
- even parsing output and suggesting major/minor cranks
I don't care much about the output or details, I just want to provide a
unified way that we can document/point at, which is hopefully more
convenient than individual ports scripting their way around the framework.
Feedback? OK?
