How much work is it to then maintain this bespoke encoding? Without having much context on it, it sounds similar to having to maintain unicode identifier character tables for unicode-aware parsers (e.g. Javascript's). Updating unicode tables after unicode version releases can be done w/ somewhat hack-ish scripting of parsing txt spec files but it's admittedly not super clean, I'm curious what's involved when dealing w/ abi lists over time.
- Spex_guy 5y agoThe process of adding new versions of glibc to the data set is described in the readme. If something changes in a way the format doesn't handle, we can just change it and update the code in the compiler at the same time. The file ships as part of the compiler distribution so we don't have to worry about backwards compatibility.
