Possible JACK ABI changes between 0.118 and 1.9.5

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Hi,

I have now switched JACK packaging to use symbols files, to automate 
tracking of ABI changes.

The switch from 0.118 to 1.9.5 causes breakage in that automated 
tracking, however.

It might be that there are some ABI breakaage after all, but possibly it 
is just private symbols not detected as such by the routines.

More on the routine here: http://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles


For now I simply threw in the hints from 
http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/mole/seedsymbols/?pkgname=libjack0 - that 
needs quite some cleanup, both in unifying parts identical across 
several/all architectures, and adjusting the initial release of 
introduction of each symbol.  I just wanted to have someone look into 
the issue of breakage before cleaning up.

For an example (that I am familiar with, since I did it myself) on 
sharing symbol hints across architectures, see the source of the 
ghostscript packaging.


Can someone fluent in C/C++ please look at this?  Perhaps you, Adrian, 
since you seem most knowledgeable in JACK around here?


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
