31 /* The file abi-versions.h (generated by scripts/abi-versions.awk) defines
32 symbols like `ABI_libm_GLIBC_2_0' for each version set in the source
33 code for each library. For a version set that is subsumed by a later
34 version set, the definition gives the subsuming set, i.e. if GLIBC_2_0
35 is subsumed by GLIBC_2_1, then ABI_libm_GLIBC_2_0 == ABI_libm_GLIBC_2_1.
36 Each version set that is to be distinctly defined in the output has an
37 unique positive integer value, increasing with newer versions. Thus,
38 evaluating two ABI_* symbols reduces to integer values that differ only
39 when the two version sets named are in fact two different ABIs we are
40 supporting. If these do not differ, then there is no need to compile in
41 extra code to support this version set where it has been superseded by a
42 newer version. The compatibility code should be conditionalized with
43 e.g. `#if SHLIB_COMPAT (libm, GLIBC_2_0, GLIBC_2_2)' for code introduced
44 in the GLIBC_2.0 version and obsoleted in the GLIBC_2.2 version. */
