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.
