rust/src/libstd/sys/unix/weak.rs

//! Support for "weak linkage" to symbols on Unix
//!
//! Some I/O operations we do in libstd require newer versions of OSes but we
//! need to maintain binary compatibility with older releases for now. In order
//! to use the new functionality when available we use this module for
//! detection.
//!
//! One option to use here is weak linkage, but that is unfortunately only
//! really workable on Linux. Hence, use dlsym to get the symbol value at
//! runtime. This is also done for compatibility with older versions of glibc,
//! and to avoid creating dependencies on GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols. It assumes that
//! we've been dynamically linked to the library the symbol comes from, but that
//! is currently always the case for things like libpthread/libc.
//!
//! A long time ago this used weak linkage for the __pthread_get_minstack
//! symbol, but that caused Debian to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned
//! dependency on libc6 (#23628).
