- Filter out broken and recursive symlinks
- Better handle symlinked .so files on platforms that support that.
Previously, we preferred the longer .so names (ie, libfoo.so.1.2.3)
over the shorter .so names (libfoo.so) since the latter is usually a
symlink, and the former may have useful "version" information in the
filename. That is a problem when a system is using symlinks to indicate
a preference, (for example, if there are both libfoo.so.1.2.3,
libfoo.so.1.2.4 and libfoo.so is a symlink to one of those).
Now we still endevour to return the long .so name, but use the short
name to see which one is preferred by the operating system, or user.
In the absense of any symlinks to disambiguate two libraries with the
same name, we prefer the one with a newer version number. That is
libfoo.so.2.3.4 would be preferred over libfoo.so.1.2.3
- Slightly more consistent diagnostic messages.
- Added functions: which, where, has_symbols
None are exported by default, but may be requested.
