New Revision: 209393
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/209393
Log:
MFC r209122:
* Improve compatibility with existing application code by permitting the
use of `elf_getbase()` on non-archive members. This change is needed
for gcc LTO (-flto) to work properly.
* Style fix: paranthesize returned values.
* Document the current behaviour of `elf_getbase()`.
