From now on, it is possible to + match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template. + While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols), + patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with + the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported: + - c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by + c++filt); + - symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature + which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented + on top of the new framework; + - regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression. + Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense. + * As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation, + patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a + pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result, + dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are + present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464).
