-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to release readline-5.2.13-11, but before I do, I'd like to fix this bug in bash:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6840 Basically, bash has a place where it calls a readline function that returns a function pointer, then it compares the returned result against a function pointer. However, the function pointer returned by readline is the rl_tab_insert local to the readline dll, while the function pointer compared in bash is a trampoline around _imp__rl_tab_insert. Is there some slick way to make bash grab a function pointer that can see through the trampoline and see that bash's trampoline version of rl_tab_insert is indeed the same function as readline's local rl_tab_insert? Or should I add some extern function pointer variables in libreadline, which are initialized to readline's notion of rl_tab_insert, so that bash compares against *_rl_tab_insert_ptr rather than against the trampoline &rl_tab_insert? Or is there some other trick I should try? Would using gcc-4 have any impact on this? I'm hoping that whatever is needed to make this work can be done without having to rev to libreadline7. But it if involves adding some additional extern symbols to libreadline, then I need to do that soon before releasing readline-5.2.13-11. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
