Mark Wielaard 2017-06-12 12:48:17 UTC Doc Text Rebase package(s) to version: 0.168 (from 0.166 in RHEL 7.3).

Highlights, important fixes, or notable enhancements:

The libdw library got the following new ELF/DWARF string table creation functions. dwelf_strtab_init, dwelf_strtab_add, dwelf_strtab_add_len, dwelf_strtab_finalize, dwelf_strent_off, dwelf_strent_str and dwelf_strtab_free.

The eu-readelf binary got an optional --symbols[=SECTION] argument to select section name to display the symbols for (the default is to show symbols for all sections as in the old versions).

The dwarf.h header corrected the DW_LANG_PLI constant name (was DW_LANG_PL1, which is still accepted).

The libwlf library functions gelf_newehdr and gelf_newehdr now return void * (was unsigned long). Which is a binary compatible change on all architectures the RHEL supports.

The _elfutils_ package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.168, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements:

* New functions for creation of ELF/DWARF string tables have been added to the *libdw* library.
* A new option "--symbols" to select the section for displaying symbols has been added to the *eu-readelf* utility.
* The "DW_LANG_PL1" constant has been changed to "DW_LANG_PLI".
* The return type of "gelf_newehdr" function from the *libwlf* library has been changed to "void*" for binary compatibility on all platforms supported by RHEL.
