Hello, I have a dumb library ABI question. Suppose I maintain a library libfoo.so that has public functions A(), B() and C(). Now there is a new release in which libfoo.so only provides A(), but it is now (newly) dynamically linked against libbar.so, which has public functions B() and C() with interfaces identical to the old B() and C() in the old version of libfoo.so.
Does libfoo.so need to have its soname bumped, since it no longer provides B() and C()? Or can it keep the same soname since it still indirectly provides B() and C() via its new dependency on libbar.so? Thanks and best regards, -- Kevin B.
