Re: difference between default behaviour of GNU nm and AIX nm (symbol demangling)

[Boehne, Robert]

Hello all,

CVS Libtool already does this, setting -C only when appropriate.

<SNIP>
  aix4* | aix5*)
    # If we're using GNU nm, then we don't want the "-C" option.
    # -C means demangle to AIX nm, but means don't demangle with GNU
nm
    if $NM -V 2>&1 | egrep '(GNU)' > /dev/null; then
      _LT_AC_TAGVAR(export_symbols_cmds, $1)='$NM -Bpg $libobjs
$convenience | awk '\''{ if (((\[$]2 == "T") || (\[$]2 == "D") ||
(\[$]2 == "B")) && ([substr](\[$]3,1,1) != ".")) { print \[$]3 } }'\''
| sort -u > $export_symbols'
    else
      _LT_AC_TAGVAR(export_symbols_cmds, $1)='$NM -BCpg $libobjs
$convenience | awk '\''{ if (((\[$]2 == "T") || (\[$]2 == "D") ||
(\[$]2 == "B")) && ([substr](\[$]3,1,1) != ".")) { print \[$]3 } }'\''
| sort -u > $export_symbols'
    fi
