[Bug malloc/19473] New: Turn malloc_get_state etc. in compatibility symbols


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19473

            Bug ID: 19473
           Summary: Turn malloc_get_state etc. in compatibility symbols
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.24
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: malloc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---
             Flags: security-

These APIs are very difficult to support while evolving malloc.  The only user
seems to be Emacs.  We may need to provide malloc-compat and get rid of this
functionality.

This also applies to hooks and other exposed internals which really should not
be visible to applications.
