Versioned Symbols in Shared Libraries

[Sebastian Stenzel]

Hi,

Today I learned about versioned symbols when investigating a downwards compatibility problem in a jextract'ed API. See discussion [1]

The concept is new to me, but apparently broadly used to make sure to invoke the exact function that was referenced at compile time. Since jextract only knows the header files, I suppose it isn't aware of such versions? Does the SymbolLookup API provide any mechanism to lookup a specific version?

I hope you can make sense of what I'm asking as this is all new to me and I'm not sure I'm asking the right questions.

Thank you!
