lib/libc Versions.def Log:
Keep versions on a dependency chain to exclude even remote possiblity
of private version ever getting index 2.
Why is this the right thing to do? Clearly FBSDprivate_1.0 should never be
incremented, but it does not make sense to me to have it depend on any other
version. In the absence of a compelling argument, I am of the opinion that
Dan Eischen made a good change. Did you discuss this issue with him?
I think it has more to do with how rtld works, though I don't
know the details. You can see that kan made this same exact
change in rev 1.3 of Versions.def. So in actuality, I backed
kan's change out thinking that I had originally committed it
that way.
FYI, before I commited this change, I looked at how glibc did it.
Their private namespace does not inherit from the GLIBC public
namespace. But perhaps they have other ways of preventing
exactly what kan is trying to avoid.
