    33ABI changes other than adding a completely new function almost always mean changing function signatures. For C++ it is done automatically in most cases. For plain C it's the author's responsibility to rename the function if it's signature changes. And if the function is renamed, the automatic dependency generator will catch it.

    5 Regarding the dependency tree. While I think that RPMDB is capable of handling thousands of dependencies, I agree that C++ imposes some problems (I already wrote about that). But given that the OS/2 kernel itself feels pretty much ok with them, I guess RPM will also do. And as a last resort, If we are not satisfied with real-life tests, we may simply disable this generator for C++ symbols.

While I think that RPMDB is capable of handling thousands of dependencies, I agree that C++ may theoretically impose some problems (I already wrote about that and I thought exactly about AOO and also about Qt). But given that the OS/2 kernel itself feels pretty much ok with them, I guess RPM will also do. And as a last resort, If we are not satisfied with real-life tests, we may simply disable this generator for C++ symbols.

    77So I still think we should do it.
