src-test2/gnu/usr.bin/ld/ldconfig, branch master

These files were moved elsewhere (sbin/ldconfig, libexec/rtld-aout,

usr.bin/ldd) as they stand alone and are under bsd-style license.

ELF preparation step 2:

1998-05-26T20:12:56Z

Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs. Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path. Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path. Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage. This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old libraries there, they are not used anymore. We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this all settle for a week or two...

Add -R (rescan or refresh) option to rescan and rebuild the hints

file based on the previous list of directories stored there which should overcome a weakness of the '-m' switch which can only add libs. This is an ideal way of updating the hints list after adding or removing a shlib since it will remove entries that are gone and doesn't need to have all the directories spelled out each time. (eg: rm -f /usr/lib/libtcl75*; ldconfig -R) This only works for version 2 hints files (which we've been generating for a year or so) which store the path.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

Fixed a bug in the handling of the directories in the search path

1996-11-08T02:12:40Z

that is stored in the hints file. If that search path contained a non-existent directory (one, say, that had been removed), and "ldconfig -m /a/perfectly/good/directory" was run, ldconfig returned an error status without printing an error message. This caused some confusing bombs when installing ports, in particular. I changed it so that non-existent directories from the stored search path are silently ignored. Only non-existent directories named explicitly on the command line are treated as errors. Also, a diagnostic is printed if and only if an error status is returned. In an unrelated fix, ldconfig now silently ignores any directories named on the command line when the "-r" option is given. Formerly, these directories incorrectly made their way into the "search directories" line of the listing. It really should be an error to specify directories together with "-r", but I don't have time to fix the manual page in that way right now. 2.2 Candidate.
