38 * Provides backwards compatibility when updating exported functions.
39 * When a symol is exported from a library to provide an API, it also provides a
40 * calling convention (ABI) that is embodied in its name, return type,
41 * arguments, etc. On occasion that function may need to change to accommodate
42 * new functionality, behavior, etc. When that occurs, it is desirable to
43 * allow for backwards compatibility for a time with older binaries that are
44 * dynamically linked to the dpdk. To support that, the __vsym and
45 * VERSION_SYMBOL macros are created. They, in conjunction with the
46 * <library>_version.map file for a given library allow for multiple versions of
47 * a symbol to exist in a shared library so that older binaries need not be
48 * immediately recompiled.
50 * Refer to the guidelines document in the docs subdirectory for details on the
56 * b - function base name
57 * e - function version extension, to be concatenated with base name
58 * n - function symbol version string to be applied
59 * f - function prototype
60 * p - full function symbol name
65 * Creates a symbol version table entry binding symbol <b>@DPDK_<n> to the internal
66 * function name <b>_<e>
68 #define VERSION_SYMBOL(b, e, n) __asm__(".symver " RTE_STR(b) RTE_STR(e) ", " RTE_STR(b) "@DPDK_" RTE_STR(n))
72 * Creates a symbol version entry instructing the linker to bind references to
73 * symbol <b> to the internal symbol <b>_<e>
75 #define BIND_DEFAULT_SYMBOL(b, e, n) __asm__(".symver " RTE_STR(b) RTE_STR(e) ", " RTE_STR(b) "@@DPDK_" RTE_STR(n))
76 #define __vsym __attribute__((used))
80 * If a function has been bifurcated into multiple versions, none of which
81 * are defined as the exported symbol name in the map file, this macro can be
82 * used to alias a specific version of the symbol to its exported name. For
83 * example, if you have 2 versions of a function foo_v1 and foo_v2, where the
84 * former is mapped to foo@DPDK_1 and the latter is mapped to foo@DPDK_2 when
85 * building a shared library, this macro can be used to map either foo_v1 or
86 * foo_v2 to the symbol foo when building a static library, e.g.:
87 * MAP_STATIC_SYMBOL(void foo(), foo_v2);
89 #define MAP_STATIC_SYMBOL(f, p)
93 * No symbol versioning in use
95 #define VERSION_SYMBOL(b, e, n)
