Re: [PATCH] Export stack_used as __stack_used

Hi all,

This commit renames "stack_used" as "__stack_used" and changes it from
a static variable in allocatestack.c to an internally exported symbol
available to all nptl source files.  This fixes bug 17629 (and thus
GDB PR 9635).

What do you mean by “export”? The __ prefix suggests that you want to export it as a symbol (probably GLIBC_PRIVATE), but I think you'd need to update nptl/Versions in this case.

If the variable remains nptl-internal, I expect that you could turn it into a hidden symbol, and keep its current name.

Thanks,
Florian
