[llvm-branch-commits] Deleted Mips symbols in the 3.5 branch

[Daniel Sanders]

I could be completely off-track here, but my initial attempts at using abi-compliance-checker on a subset of the public headers (everything in $prefix/include/llvm/Target, and $prefix/include/llvm/ExecutionEngine/ExecutionEngine.h) haven't reported anything other than --prefix related differences and this got me thinking.

We only need to worry about symbols that the user can directly access from the definitions in the public (installed) headers and not the whole symbol table, don't we? These symbols are in the symbol table for the shared library, but as far as I can tell there is no definition in the public headers that could enable a user to directly reference anything from $srcdir/lib/Target/Mips (not even the create* functions).

Sure, attached.
