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36 extra code to support this version set where it has been superseded by a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